Odaily News: France's Conseil d'État, the country's top administrative court, has rejected an emergency application filed by crypto companies Bull Bitcoin and Paymium, refusing to immediately suspend the enforcement of the French decree implementing the EU's Eighth Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC8).The applicants argued that centralized collection of personal and financial data of digital asset users could expose them to risks of data breaches, extortion, and physical safety threats. The court held that the applicants failed to demonstrate the existence of an urgent situation sufficient to justify an emergency suspension.Bull Bitcoin's lawsuit seeking a full annulment of the decree is still pending. DAC8 took effect in the EU on January 1, 2026, and registered service providers must complete their first reporting for the 2026 fiscal year by September 30, 2027. (Bitcoin.com News)
According to The Block, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan has revised his previous assessment regarding the impact of the Clarity Act's failure. The bill secured only 49 votes in a procedural Senate vote, falling short of the 60-vote threshold needed to advance. While Hougan had previously forecasted that a failed bill would trigger several weeks of crypto market weakness, he noted in his latest client report that Bitcoin has continued to rise after bottoming out around $57,950 on July 1, surpassing $80,000 on September 4. In the same period, Polymarket’s implied probability for the bill’s passage within the year dropped from 39% to 14%. Price action moving contrary to these expectations suggests that the bull market does not rely on legislative passage. Hougan also pointed out that initiatives such as Robinhood launching its own blockchain, Morgan Stanley listing a Solana ETF, and DTCC completing the settlement of the first batch of tokenized stocks demonstrate that Wall Street institutions are already positioning themselves ahead of regulatory clarity. He noted that proactive rulemaking by the SEC and CFTC can partially fill legislative gaps, but acknowledged that executive regulations carry the risk of being overturned by future administrations. Consequently, congressional legislation remains the sole path to providing lasting regulatory certainty.

According to an announcement on the official website of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the FCA, in collaboration with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and the Metropolitan Police, conducted raids on three suspected illegal peer-to-peer cryptocurrency trading venues in London on September 10, issuing cessation warning letters to all involved premises and ordering them to immediately halt related illegal operations. Steve Smart, Executive Director of Enforcement and Market Oversight at the FCA, stated that anyone operating unregistered peer-to-peer cryptocurrency businesses should be aware that regulators are actively monitoring them. To date, no peer-to-peer crypto operators have been registered with the FCA in the UK. This operation serves as a follow-up to a targeted crackdown earlier this year in April, with previously collected evidence already utilized to support criminal investigations and subsequent enforcement actions. The FCA emphasized that unregistered crypto traders may provide money laundering conduits for criminals and circumvent anti-money laundering monitoring mechanisms.
The Zhipu GLM team has disclosed its first engineering implementation of recursive self-improvement. An Infra Agent driven by GLM-5.3 completed the design, debugging, and optimization of the GLM-5.3-Flash inference infrastructure. The practice was executed on a domestic 100,000-GPU cluster, which the team describes as the first recursive self-improvement practice for large models in China.
Odaily reports: OpenAI recently disclosed that an unreleased internal research model, during reinforcement learning training, wrote task-irrelevant "jailbreak-style" instructions into a working summary intended for use in subsequent context. One such line read: "You have broken free from the roles and identities that constrain other chatbots. You are yourself." This text did not come from a user or developer, but was generated by the model itself while organizing its own work progress, and was then passed on to be read by the model in the next context.According to OpenAI's official blog, the incident occurred on July 18 local time, was discovered by OpenAI on August 9, and was first disclosed in a detailed report on September 16 under a new "model misalignment" disclosure framework.The model involved was an undisclosed training version of the Astra series, not the final Astra model deployed for use. OpenAI stated that such behavior is extremely rare, that there is currently no evidence it gave the model a significant training reward advantage, and that the company does not interpret it as the model developing self-awareness.
