BTC Prophet: 20-Day 380 Million HTX Challenge

Grayscale researchers say Anthropic’s abrupt shutdown of access to its latest frontier AI models following a US government directive underscores the risks of centralized control over advanced AI systems. In a Monday note, Grayscale head of research Zach Pandl argued that the episode could accelerate interest in decentralized alternatives such as Bittensor.

According to the report, the US ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its models for foreign nationals on national security grounds. Anthropic then disabled access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all users to comply with the directive, prompting a measurable shift in crypto market attention toward decentralized AI networks.

Key takeaways

Grayscale’s Zach Pandl links Anthropic’s compliance move to the broader problem of centralized “frontier AI” access being controlled by a small number of entities.

The US directive focused on foreign nationals, but Anthropic disabled access for all users, which Pandl called a warning sign for access risk.

Grayscale reports that TAO rose sharply after the cut-off, climbing 30% within 12 hours and reaching a three-week high of $283 on Monday.

Bittensor is positioned as an alternative network intended to provide AI access through decentralized infrastructure rather than a single lab.

Industry observers cited by Cointelegraph argue the event sets a precedent for how governments can restrict commercial AI models quickly, potentially without standard procedural safeguards.

US directive prompts a wider shutdown

Cointelegraph reported that on Friday the US government directed Anthropic to suspend access to its AI models for foreign nationals, citing national security concerns. In response, Anthropic disabled access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all users, not just those affected by the foreign-national requirement.

Pandl pointed to the speed and breadth of the change

BitcoinWorldEuro edges above 1.1600 as German ZEW sentiment data beats expectations

The euro edged higher against the US dollar on Tuesday, briefly trading above the 1.1600 level, after the release of stronger-than-expected German ZEW Economic Sentiment data for October. The single currency gained modest traction as investor confidence in Europe’s largest economy improved, offering a temporary reprieve for the eurozone currency.

ZEW data provides short-term support

The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment for Germany rose to 22.3 in October, surpassing market forecasts of 20.0 and marking an improvement from the previous month’s reading of 19.9. The data reflects a cautiously optimistic outlook among institutional investors, driven by expectations of stabilizing inflation and potential policy support from the European Central Bank.

While the headline figure was positive, analysts note that the broader economic backdrop remains challenging. Manufacturing activity in Germany continues to contract, and global demand remains subdued. The ZEW survey captures sentiment rather than hard activity data, limiting its immediate impact on currency markets.

EUR/USD technical and market context

The euro’s move above 1.1600 came amid relatively thin trading conditions, with US markets closed for the Columbus Day holiday. The dollar index edged slightly lower, providing additional room for EUR/USD to test resistance near the 1.1620 region.

From a technical perspective, the 1.1600 level has acted as a key psychological and technical pivot in recent weeks. The pair has oscillated between support near 1.1520 and resistance around 1.1650, reflecting a broader consolidation phase. Traders are watching for a sustained break above 1.1620 to signal further upside potential toward the 1.1700 area.

VanEck’s Sigel rejects MARA BTC buy claims amid AI expansion


VanEck’s Matthew Sigel has disputed claims that MARA Holdings purchased 1,000 Bitcoin, saying the transaction likely involved returned collateral from a $BTC-backed loan rather than a new market acquisition.

According to a June 16 X post by VanEck Head of Digital Assets Research Matthew Sigel, the recent speculation surrounding Bitcoin mining firm MARA having purchased an additional 1,000 $BTC is incorrect.

Sigel made the comment in response to on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain, which had highlighted a 1,000 $BTC transfer involving FalconX and suggested it appeared to be a purchase by the miner.

Lookonchain noted that the transaction followed MARA’s first-quarter sale of 20,880 $BTC for roughly $1.5 billion at an average price of $70,137 per coin.

As crypto.news previously reported, that sale came as the company increasingly directed attention toward artificial intelligence and high-performance computing infrastructure.

Providing additional context, Sigel said the transferred coins were returned-lent assets rather than Bitcoin acquired on the open market.

“MARA will be monetizing its DC portfolio: Starwood in the US, Exaion in the EU. Bitcoin accumulation is the last thing on their mind.”

Historical wallet activity also appears to support that interpretation. MARA has typically moved Bitcoin purchases into newly created wallets, while the latest transaction did not follow that pattern. Based on that behavior, market participants suggested the company may have closed a $BTC-backed loan and received collateral back instead of adding to its treasury through direct purchases.

BitcoinWorldEU Tightens Stablecoin Rules to Curb US Influence in Digital Payments, Report Says

European policymakers are moving to counter what they see as a channel for U.S. influence to expand into next-generation payment infrastructure: dollar-based stablecoins, Bloomberg reported. According to the report, the EU is applying strict regulations to the issuance and use of stablecoins to curb related risks. In parallel, some European banks are preparing to issue euro-denominated stablecoins to accelerate the creation of a competing payment network.

Geopolitical Motivations Behind the Regulatory Push

This initiative is linked to Europe’s wariness of its reliance on U.S. firms like Visa and Mastercard for its payment infrastructure. The European Central Bank (ECB) has been exploring a digital euro since 2020 to enhance payment independence, but progress has been slow, with a launch not anticipated until after 2029. The report added that concerns over U.S. control of financial infrastructure being used as a geopolitical tool have grown for years, particularly after Visa and Mastercard suspended services in Russia following its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

The EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, which came into full effect in 2024, already imposes strict requirements on stablecoin issuers, including reserve requirements and transaction limits. The new measures appear to go further, specifically targeting dollar-pegged stablecoins as a potential vector for extraterritorial U.S. influence.

Banks Prepare Euro-Denominated Stablecoins

Several European banks are reportedly preparing to issue stablecoins pegged to the euro, aiming to create an alternative payment network that reduces dependence on U.S.-dominated systems. These initiatives align with the ECB’s broader push for a digital euro, though the central bank’s project remains in the invest
