Bitcoin security researchers, company founders, and policy advocates are publicly warning that restrictions on leading U.S. AI systems are making legitimate defensive cybersecurity work harder, while Chinese open-source models are producing usable results. Rob Hamilton of AnchorWatch said OpenAI blocked him from analyzing a codebase he had already responsibly disclosed, even after he joined the company’s trusted cyber program and had completed KYC months earlier. He later said he was cut off again within 19 minutes after receiving access to OpenAI’s Daybreak Blue cyber model. Francis Pouliot of Bull Bitcoin said Chinese open models helped identify and patch a money-stealing exploit in a project he was auditing, while American models he pays for refused to review the same patch. Similar complaints came from Bitcoin Core contributor PortlandHODL and Galaxy research head Alex Thorn, who backed a Bitcoin Policy Institute open letter calling for trusted access to frontier AI models for qualified open-source defenders. Published on August 10 and signed by more than 70 digital-asset organizations, the letter asks AI labs for early access to cyber-capable systems, enough compute, secure code-review environments, and direct contact with lab security teams. The pressure intensified after a Coldcard firmware flaw, exploited from July 30, led to the theft of well over $100 million in bitcoin. Since then, the volunteer Bitcoin Red Team says it has scanned 501 projects and logged 7,958 findings, including 1,280 high or critical issues, with most compute spend going to Chinese open-weight models.
TMT Breakout said the key shift in the current U.S. tech rally is a repricing inside the AI trade, with capital starting to move away from crowded AI semiconductor names and toward software, internet, and cloud companies whose earnings are easier to verify after results. The report said the Nasdaq-100 ETF was down about 30 basis points on the day and trading volume continued to slow as the market moved into the later stage of earnings season, but that cooling has not happened evenly across tech. According to the report, investors are now looking again for companies where earnings growth is accelerating, the narrative is improving, and valuations have already pulled back. It cited PLTR, TWLO, and TEAM as software names that continued to attract buyers after earnings, showing that the market is willing to reprice more predictable growth. By contrast, follow-through in AI semiconductors has been weaker, and even companies with decent results or guidance have struggled to keep drawing incremental capital. TMT Breakout also pointed to a macro backdrop of higher oil prices, rising Treasury yields, and renewed sensitivity to inflation and rates, saying companies that can show cash flow, orders, or demand evidence after earnings are in a better position to hold investor attention.
Bitget said it is supporting the expansion of UNICEF’s Game Changers Coalition into Bangladesh, Indonesia and Bolivia, taking the initiative’s footprint to 11 countries. The program uses game development to help young people build digital, AI and financial skills, with a stated focus on adolescents in emerging economies and on girls in particular. Bitget joined the coalition in 2025 under a three-year partnership with UNICEF and said it is contributing educational materials, blockchain-focused learning content and mentors from the Web3 ecosystem to support curriculum development. The article said the coalition reached more than 642,000 adolescents, parents and teachers over the past year, with women accounting for 52% of participants. Students have created more than 20,000 games through the program. Bitget also pointed to a National Game Jam in Cambodia in December 2025, where more than 1,000 young creators took part in a 48-hour challenge, and to a previous global UNICEF Game Jam in which Cambodian teams won four awards across seven categories. UNICEF Luxembourg and Bitget executives said the expansion is intended to widen access to 21st century STEAM, financial and digital skills in new markets.
