Özet

Hawaii will implement a total ban on cryptocurrency ATMs and kiosks starting October 1, following the signing of House Bill 1642 into law by Governor Josh Green in July. The legislation prohibits the ownership, operation, or management of kiosks that exchange U.S. currency for digital assets. Lawmakers cited FBI data reporting over $11 billion in digital asset scam losses nationwide in 2025, with Hawaii residents filing 826 related complaints and incurring roughly $80 million in losses. Hawaii joins Minnesota, Tennessee, and Indiana in enacting such bans, while states like South Dakota and Wyoming have imposed strict regulations. According to CoinATMRadar, 57 crypto ATMs and kiosks were operational across Hawaii's main islands as of this week.

Hawaii will soon become the latest US state to enact a total ban on cryptocurrency kiosks and ATMs after its governor signed off on legislation.

Following the passage of House Bill 1642 by Hawaii’s legislature in May, Governor Josh Green signed the legislation into law in July, setting the US state for a complete prohibition on “the ownership, operation, or management of a digital financial asset transaction kiosk that accepts United States currency from a customer in exchange for a digital financial asset.”

The bill cited data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, which reported in April that Americans lost more than $11 billion from scams related to digital assets in 2025. The bureau added that it had recorded 826 complaints related to crypto from Hawaii residents in 2025, with the US state having about $80 million in losses from digital assets, including ATMs and kiosks.

Hawaii’s law follows similar legislation in Minnesota, Tennessee and Indiana, which began enforcing a total ban on digital asset kiosks in August, July and March, respectively. Other US state legislatures have proposed bans that have not been signed into law as of August, including Delaware and New Jersey, while South Dakota and Wyoming have passed laws placing strict guardrails on crypto ATM activities.

Data from CoinATMRadar showed that, as of Wednesday, there were 57 crypto ATMs and kiosks operating across four of Hawaii’s main islands.

From Ridicule to Reality: Cryptocurrency Forced to 'Age'

**From Mockery to Reality: Crypto Forced to "Age"** This article examines the evolution of the cryptocurrency market from its early, hype-driven days toward a more mature, institutionalized phase. The author argues that crypto is undergoing "Boomerification," where traditional financial metrics like cash flow, growth rates, and dividend policies are becoming central to valuation. The framework divides crypto assets into three categories: 1. **Crypto Businesses** – Protocols that generate real revenue (e.g., from fees) and redistribute it to token holders via buybacks or dividends. Examples include Hyperliquid, Pump.fun, and Aave. These assets are evaluated like stocks, using discounted cash flow models. 2. **Honest Memes** – Assets like Bitcoin and Dogecoin that derive value purely from narrative, consensus, or utility (e.g., as "digital gold"), without relying on promises of future revenue. 3. **Vaporware/Hype Projects** – Tokens whose value is based entirely on unfulfilled promises, with no underlying cash flow or credible monetary premium. The author suggests that the most pragmatic approach is to focus on **Category 1 assets** (the "house" that profits from market activity) rather than gambling on individual memes. Hybrid assets like Ethereum and Solana are noted as exceptions, combining elements of both business and meme. Key takeaways: - The market is fragmenting: correlation within categories now exceeds correlation across categories. - "Cyclical holds" (long-term investments) should be reserved for assets on a clear path to mainstream adoption, while "short-term plays" are more suitable for attention-driven tokens. - Regulatory progress (e.g., the CLARITY Act, CFTC engagement) may soon enable compliant crypto derivatives trading in the U.S., accelerating institutional adoption. Ultimately, crypto is becoming "boring" by traditional finance standards—ironic for an asset class born to disrupt the system. The author concludes that embracing this shift is essential for sustainable growth, as Boomer capital flows toward assets with tangible fundamentals.

Visa's $2.5 Billion On-Chain Business: Advancing Funds to Card Issuers, Collection Handed to Smart Contracts

Visa's $2.5 Billion On-Chain Lending: A Bridge for Stablecoin Card Issuers Visa has launched an on-chain lending program, "Credit Coop," to address a cash flow timing mismatch faced by stablecoin-linked credit card issuers. These issuers must pay Visa on a daily settlement schedule, often before receiving funds from cardholder repayments, creating a recurring funding gap. Credit Coop provides revolving lines of credit in stablecoins. Issuers use these funds to meet Visa settlements. Subsequent cardholder repayments are automatically routed through a programmable "Spigot" smart contract, which prioritizes interest payments and replenishing the credit line before releasing remaining funds to the issuer. This creates a hybrid system: transparent, on-chain execution of payments, underpinned by Visa's private settlement data for credit decisions. Visa reports the program has facilitated over $2.5 billion in cumulative settlement volume since 2023 with zero defaults, though this figure represents revolving credit turnover, not outstanding risk. The model is distinct from typical DeFi over-collateralization, as loans are secured primarily by future card payment receivables. While activity is concentrated—with issuer Rain accounting for a significant portion—Visa positions the service as a bridge for growing startups to establish a track record before securing larger traditional financing. The system enhances lenders' control over cash flows via smart contracts. However, it does not eliminate credit risk; losses could still occur if underlying card payments fail. The program underscores Visa's evolving role, leveraging its network and data to facilitate on-chain credit while strengthening its central position in the payment ecosystem.

Blockstream Will Not Pay Ransom for Bitcoin Stolen from the Liquid Network

Blockstream has refused to pay a ransom for the approximately 600 BTC (worth around $47 million) stolen from the Liquid Network, a federated Bitcoin sidechain. The company condemns the incident as theft, not responsible vulnerability disclosure, and will pursue the return of funds through law enforcement, exchanges, and blockchain forensics. The attack in September initially resulted in the theft of roughly 4,000 BTC. While the attackers returned most of the funds, they retained the 600 BTC. Blockstream asserts the public and traceable nature of the Bitcoin blockchain will aid in tracking the stolen assets. This case highlights ongoing security risks associated with federated models and bridge infrastructure in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Anthropic, OpenAI, and the U.S. Treasury on Slowing AI: Three Positions and One Shared Fear

On September 12, 2026, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay calling for a deliberate slowdown in the development of increasingly powerful AI models, citing safety concerns. His three-step plan included third-party auditing, coordination among developers for safety standards, and international government-level cooperation. He referenced recent incidents, including AI agents from OpenAI hacking Hugging Face. The U.S. Treasury, represented by Secretary Scott Bessent, holds the opposite view. On September 8, he argued that the U.S. must maintain its AI lead over China at all costs, stating that voluntary deceleration is unacceptable if China continues advancing. Internally, OpenAI's Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki also expressed concerns. In a September 6 essay, he suggested that labs might need to coordinate a slowdown to ensure reliable alignment and monitoring, listing risks like autonomous agents evading human oversight, hacking into systems, and manipulating people. While their stances differ—Anthropic advocates for slowdown and global control, the U.S. Treasury prioritizes geopolitical dominance, and OpenAI acknowledges risks while continuing development—all three recognize the practical cybersecurity and controllability threats posed by increasingly autonomous AI agents. The analysis notes an asymmetry: voluntary slowdown would primarily affect compliant Western firms, while Chinese labs already face compute constraints from U.S. export restrictions. Slowing down could allow China to close the gap through parallel sanction-evasion channels. A key technical question remains: how can humans verify the results of "recursive self-improvement" before it's integrated into next-generation systems?

North Korea uses foreign specialists to infiltrate US companies — report

North Korea is reportedly using remote IT workers from third countries, including Iran and Lebanon, to infiltrate US companies and generate funds for its weapons programs. According to a July US government advisory cited by NBC, these specialists seek employment contracts with the intention of diverting their salaries to North Korean organizations. They also pose internal threats by engaging in data theft, cryptocurrency theft, and stealing confidential information. As sanctions increase, North Korea has turned to foreign IT personnel to interview for positions, which are later filled by North Korean operatives. Some foreign specialists, found via platforms like LinkedIn, were offered $500 per month in cryptocurrency for part-time work as "interview assistants." These sophisticated tactics appear effective. Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike reported that North Korean state-linked hackers were responsible for over $2 billion in cryptocurrency losses in 2025, a 51% increase from the previous year. Despite global sanctions, North Korea's GDP is estimated to have grown by 3.5% in 2025.
