Anthropic Plans to Offer IPO Shares to UK Retail Investors via RetailBook

Anthropic plans to sell shares to UK retail investors in its upcoming IPO through investment platform RetailBook, leveraging the UK's "Public Offer Platform" (POP) mechanism, which does not require preparing a full UK prospectus. Licensed POP operator RetailBook will coordinate the offering, allowing other investment platforms to submit orders through it. The AI company filed for its IPO on Monday, planning to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT. Its filing indicates that individual investors in the UK and parts of Europe will be able to participate in the subscription. The plans remain subject to adjustment as they are not yet finalized. Notably, SpaceX sold $364 million in shares to UK retail investors through the same POP mechanism in June 2026.

Vitalik Buterin Targeted in Hardware Wallet Phishing Wave as Keystone Attestation Key Compromised

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin (@tayvano_) received one of the phishing emails targeting hardware wallet users, highlighting a wave of social engineering attacks on the sector.

Osmosis Restores Full allBTC Backing Using Seized Tokens and Community Funds, Sparing Holders a Haircut

Osmosis has restored full backing for its allBTC token, avoiding losses for holders after a shortfall was discovered in the pool's reserves. Seized tokens and community funds were used to cover the gap, according to Osmosis. The rescue operation retired pool claims rather than replacing all of the missing bitcoin, meaning the underlying deficit was addressed through structural adjustments instead of a direct one-for-one replenishment of the asset.

Ripple CEO Garlinghouse: "We Will Never Give Up on XRP" Amid Stablecoin Pivot Rumors

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse addressed market rumors at the opening of Swell 2026 that Ripple would scale back its support for XRP and shift focus to its stablecoin RLUSD, stating "we will never give up on XRP" and affirming that Ripple would never take actions it believes would harm the XRP ecosystem. Garlinghouse described XRP's current momentum as "profound," noting that RLUSD is one of the factors driving that momentum and emphasizing that the two assets are complementary rather than competitive.

Liquidity Pool Returns Can Trail Simple Token Holdings Despite Fee Income

A liquidity pool position can generate trading fees while still underperforming a simple hold strategy for the same underlying tokens. The mechanism driving this divergence is impermanent loss: as asset prices move, automated market makers rebalance the pool's composition by selling appreciating assets and buying depreciating ones, altering the holder's exposure compared to the original portfolio. In a hypothetical example cited, an initial $200 invested in a liquidity pool grew to $400 before accounting for earned fees, whereas simply holding the equivalent token allocation would have yielded $500 over the same period. The gap illustrates how price-driven rebalancing erodes gains relative to passive ownership, even when fee income partially offsets the shortfall.

US CFTC Sets Dec 15 Roundtable to Explore 24/7 Derivatives Trading

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will host an industry roundtable on December 15 to discuss the feasibility of implementing 24/7 trading in derivatives markets. The meeting, held at CFTC headquarters in Washington and streamed publicly, continues the agency's summer initiative seeking public comment on extending trading hours for standard futures contracts and introducing perpetual futures mechanisms. Agenda topics include overnight trading, asset tokenization, infrastructure development, staffing, and operational readiness, with a focus on protecting market participants' rights while maintaining the integrity and resilience of U.S. derivatives markets. CFTC Chairman Selig stated the regulator will not adopt a "one-size-fits-all" approach to 24/7 trading, emphasizing that the commission aims to gather input from across the industry so trading mechanisms for different asset classes can develop prudently and responsibly. Specific speakers and registration details will be announced at a later date.

Solidus Labs Flags $170M in Spoofing Orders on Hyperliquid Amid Oil Price Swings

Market monitoring firm Solidus Labs identified a trader placing over $170 million in anomalous orders across two accounts on decentralized exchange Hyperliquid during international oil price volatility from March 8 to 10. The activity, suspected of "spoofing," involved large one-sided order placements that were quickly canceled while trades executed on the opposite side, yielding approximately $119,000 in profit for the trader. One instance showed the cancellation of roughly $17 million in sell orders alongside the execution of about $425,000 in buy orders, coinciding with noticeable swings in Brent crude perpetual contract prices. Hyperliquid Labs confirmed that all platform orders, cancellations, and trades are publicly recorded on-chain for real-time review, while contract issuer Trade.xyz noted existing order limits and continuous monitoring mechanisms. The incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding trading oversight on crypto derivatives platforms and their potential influence on traditional commodity markets, though the trader's identity and intent remain unconfirmed.

AI's Creative Industry Displacement Sparks Debate Over Skill Obsolescence

The tension between technological opportunity and skill obsolescence continues to define discourse around AI's societal impact.

Bitcoin Stalls Near $80K as $87K Cost Basis Creates Overhead Resistance on Path to $100K

Bitcoin has retreated to approximately $80,000 after its summer rebound faded, with investors facing persistent selling pressure as the asset attempts to push toward $100,000. Holders who bought Bitcoin over the past two years have cost bases concentrated at $87,000 and above, creating overhead resistance that has twice capped rallies this year, each followed by a drawdown of at least 25%. The average cost basis of spot Bitcoin ETF holders sits near $81,500, meaning a sustained close below that level could shift the average ETF investor into unrealized loss territory and weaken on-chain support. Macro headwinds compound the pressure: weak performance in AI-themed stocks this month has weighed on Bitcoin given its high correlation with tech equities, while AI valuation concerns and debt risks add further downside risk. The market has yet to confirm the start of a new bull run, leaving the path higher dependent on macro conditions and sustained buying demand.

Solana Pivots to Institutional Finance as Meme Coin Reliance Wanes

Solana is pivoting from its meme coin-driven growth model toward mainstream financial applications, including stablecoins and tokenized assets, to attract institutional adoption on Wall Street. Financial institutions such as JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, and Standard Chartered, along with payment networks Visa and Fiserv, are already conducting business on the network. However, the blockchain faces headwinds amid a broader crypto downturn and rising competition from platforms like Hyperliquid. SOL has declined nearly 20% year-to-date, while U.S.-listed spot and staked SOL ETFs recorded approximately $50 million in outflows over two consecutive weeks this month. Solana's share of on-chain perpetual futures trading volume has also dropped significantly, falling from 17% to 6%.

Y Combinator's Crypto Startup Guide Puts RWA Tokenization, Stablecoins, and AI Trading Agents at Center of Institutional Shift

Y Combinator released its October 2026 crypto startup guide, identifying a fundamental shift in the industry: growth is now driven by institutional adoption rather than retail speculation. Use cases are moving from trading to real financial needs such as oil hedging and cross-border corporate treasury operations. The accelerator outlined six priority areas for founders over the next six months: AI-powered fundraising, USD and multi-currency stablecoins, neobanks, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, trading platforms, and crypto API infrastructure designed for AI agents. YC expects tokenization to expand beyond stablecoins and equities into property titles, debt instruments, and commodities, while previously illiquid small-cap assets gain on-chain market access. YC emphasized that traditional finance's structural challenges create openings for next-generation fintech startups, with AI agents poised to become significant participants in on-chain trading, lending, and derivatives markets.
