According to CNBC, Andrew Bailey, Governor of the Bank of England and Chairman of the Financial Stability Board (FSB), wrote to G20 finance ministers and central bank governors on August 31 to warn that frontier AI models are exhibiting increasingly sophisticated autonomy and threat capabilities, which could fundamentally alter the speed, scale, and economics of cyberattacks, potentially triggering disorderly adjustments across global financial markets. Bailey noted that highly concentrated third-party service providers will become critical nodes of systemic risk, emphasizing that most countries currently lack regulatory frameworks for the development and deployment of frontier AI. He also flagged vulnerabilities in sovereign debt markets, the growing trend of leverage in equity markets, and the overvaluation of AI-related assets, urging governments to accelerate the refinement of relevant safety mechanisms.

"Fed whisperer" Nick Timiraos reported that Fed Chair Warsh has calmed some concerns about his strategy to fight inflation, but has also set the stage for a bigger test that could come three weeks later. If the Fed raises interest rates, it could anger the White House weeks before the midterm elections. If it holds steady, it could reignite the doubts that the speech had eased.Two points in Warsh's speech on Friday particularly suggest the Fed may raise rates next month. First, Warsh found it difficult to characterize current financial conditions as restrictive. Second, the more favorable inflation data over the summer did not convince him that the underlying trend is improving. Before Friday, the Fed's default option was to hold steady unless the data was strong enough to justify action.Former Fed Vice Chair Kohn said Warsh's speech reversed that logic. "He has changed the original assumption—now it's that unless the data shows there is no need, they will raise rates." This means the final decision will depend on how the situation evolves before the September meeting, especially the August CPI report due on September 11. Kohn said that if the data suggests no action is needed, the Fed should not raise rates; if the data is strong, it could weaken the argument that inflation is heading back toward the Fed's 2% target.

Odaily News: The sandwich attack bot operated by JaredfromSubway.eth has extracted a cumulative total of 117,007 ETH since March 2023, worth approximately $295 million at current prices. In June 2026, an anonymous attacker deployed 66 counterfeit token contracts, exploiting the bot's automated trading logic to steal at least $7.5 million in ETH and stablecoins, and funneled the funds into Tornado Cash. The stolen assets have not yet been recovered.Sandwich attacks are a form of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV): the bot monitors large transactions in Ethereum's public mempool, buys ahead of the target transaction, and sells after the transaction pushes the price up, capturing profits from the spread. The bot's primary contract had received a cumulative total of 117,007 ETH as of August 28.MEV-Boost block construction is centralized among a small group of participants, with relay.ultrasound.money, Titan Relay, and bloXroute regulated relays collectively forwarding approximately 85% to 88% of related blocks within a 24-hour window; Titan's builder independently assembled 50.3% of the blocks. Monthly sandwich attack extraction amounts have declined from approximately $10 million in late 2024 to roughly $2.5 million in October 2025. (Bitcoin.com News)

: Blockchain technology company Starkware stated that on August 26, a transaction using researcher Avihu Levy's Quantum-Safe Bitcoin (QSB) scheme was mined on the Bitcoin mainnet, without requiring a soft fork, hard fork, or modification of consensus rules.The transaction consumed 10,000 sats and was processed through MARA Foundation's Slipstream service, as the non-standard format typically cannot propagate through Bitcoin's public mempool. The test consumed several hours of GPU computation, costing approximately $150 to $200.QSB employs hash-based quantum-resistant spending conditions and reduces quantum attack risks through signature trial mining, but still requires users to proactively migrate funds and cannot protect assets whose public keys have already been exposed. Starkware CEO Eli Ben-Sasson still supports introducing a protocol-level solution via a soft fork. (Bitcoin.com News)
