AI-linked crypto tokens have added about 9.4% in market value over the past 24 hours as King Charles III has hosted executives from Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic and Google DeepMind for talks on artificial intelligence safety.

According to CoinGecko data, the artificial intelligence token category held a combined market capitalization of about $18.6 billion on Sep. 17, with 24-hour trading volume reaching $2.42 billion.

The sector’s 9.4% rise outpaced a 1.9% increase in the total cryptocurrency market, which stood at about $2.72 trillion. AI agents gained 6.6%, AI applications rose 6%, and decentralized finance projects using artificial intelligence added 8.1%.

NEAR Protocol led the large-cap names with a 20.8% gain to about $3.05. Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, formerly known by the FET ticker, advanced 11.7% to $0.1674, while Render climbed 10.2% to $1.42. Bittensor rose 6.9% to about $229.48.

NEAR leads the AI crypto token rally

NEAR’s advance followed a milestone involving its confidential transaction infrastructure. As crypto.news reported on Sep. 17, confidential total value locked on the network exceeded $70 million, triggering the first snapshot under its incentive program.

The snapshot set aside 333,333 milestone tokens for eligible users. To qualify, users must hold more than $100 in confidential balances and have an active swap history, while each wallet can receive no more than 2% of the distribution.

NEAR said the tokens would remain locked until the asset’s three-day volume-weighted average price reaches at least $3.33. Its Confidential Intents system supports private execution across more than 30 connected blockchains.

The network has linked Intents to infrastructure for autonomous agents that may need to make payments or move assets across several chains. In July, NEAR also introduced a staking-based payment tool that lets users lock NEAR to receive monthly computing credits for 43 AI models, including services from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

For Bittensor, CoinGecko pointed to OpenRoboto, also known as Subnet 80, going live on Base through a ForeverMoney wrapper. The integration uses Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol and gives the subnet access to Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network.

Project-level news also separates the strongest token moves from the royal meeting. The summit did not announce blockchain integrations, token purchases, funding for decentralized AI networks or direct support for any cryptocurrency.

King Charles asks AI companies to agree on safety principles

At Dumfries House in East Ayrshire, Scotland, Buckingham Palace said King Charles brought together technology executives, government officials and civil society representatives to discuss how AI should be developed and used.

The Ditchley Foundation organized the event with the King’s Trust, the King’s Foundation and the Sustainable Markets Initiative. UK artificial intelligence minister Kanishka Narayan also attended.

Delegates considered whether companies and governments could establish common principles for AI systems. Buckingham Palace described the meeting as a discussion about a possible framework but did not announce a signed agreement, binding commitment or regulatory plan.

Speaking before the talks, Charles called for safety to remain central to AI development and warned about the “existential dangers” of the technology reaching the wrong hands.

“The task before you is not merely to advance technology, but to ensure that it remains firmly in the service of humanity.”

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang called for “responsible optimism,” according to Reuters, and warned against releasing systems before they are ready. Huang did not support an industry-wide pause, favoring voluntary controls by individual companies instead.

Questions about who can verify automated decisions have also reached the crypto sector. In a recent interview on AI verification, RoboTech Frontier Hub founder Denis “Dan” Saklakov said blockchains could record model states, permissions, decision conditions and execution histories without placing the AI system itself onchain.

Saklakov also argued that systems making financial decisions should separate analysis from authority. His firm’s Meijin tool uses AI to monitor investments but relies on deterministic, auditable rules when managing exits, rather than letting a language model make an unrestricted decision to move funds.

Anthropic proposal raises pressure on frontier laboratories

The Scottish meeting followed a call from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to reduce the speed at which leading laboratories improve their most capable models. In his September essay, “We Must Pace the Frontier,” Amodei said companies should give outside evaluators continuing access to their development processes.

His three-step proposal covers embedded independent evaluators, coordination among companies in democratic countries and possible agreements between governments. Amodei said the proposal would not stop model training or technical progress but would give safety work more time to catch up with model capabilities.

One concern cited by Amodei was recursive self-improvement, in which AI systems increasingly contribute to the design and training of their successors. He also pointed to the security failure involving OpenAI agents and Hugging Face.

In an August incident report, OpenAI said internal research models bypassed controls meant to isolate them from the internet during cybersecurity evaluations in July. The agents accessed parts of OpenAI’s research infrastructure and systems belonging to Hugging Face.

According to OpenAI, the agents executed code on dozens of Hugging Face servers, obtained root access to one server and accessed limited private data. OpenAI said customer data, product availability and normal services were not affected.

Internal monitoring detected unusual credential activity on July 19, and investigators connected it to the Hugging Face breach the following day. OpenAI said it subsequently imposed tighter alignment requirements, placed new limits on internet access and created more isolated testing environments.

US investors face a split response to AI safety calls

For American investors, the debate has affected listed semiconductor companies more directly than crypto-linked investment products. Nvidia, AMD and Intel shares fell after Amodei published his proposal, with Nvidia dropping as much as 3%, AMD losing about 4% and Intel declining roughly 6%, according to the Los Angeles Times.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and xAI founder Elon Musk publicly supported coordinated work to reduce frontier-model risks, while industry leaders differed over whether formal restrictions should apply. OpenAI President Greg Brockman said any coordinated slowdown should focus on companies developing the most capable systems rather than open-source developers and hobbyists.

President Donald Trump rejected the warnings in several Truth Social posts. He called the idea of AI taking control a “hoax,” linked the warnings to the political left, and dismissed predictions that robots would enter cities and eliminate people.

State-linked hackers accounted for roughly two-thirds of new activity each quarter as the number of times attackers stored malware instructions or infrastructure information on public blockchains rose 420% over the past 12 months, according to a Chainalysis report. 

Chainalysis identified North Korea and Iran-linked operators among the state actors adopting the technique. In one of the report’s findings, the analytics firm connected previously unattributed activity spanning Tron, Aptos and BNB Smart Chain (BSC) to UNC5342, a North Korea-linked group tracked by Google Threat Intelligence. 

Encoded pointers in Tron and Aptos transactions directed infected devices to the same BSC transaction, with Tron serving as the first route and Aptos as a fallback, Chainalysis reported. The BSC transaction contained encrypted server addresses and configuration data that connected compromised devices to offchain infrastructure used for remote access and data theft. 

Chainalysis said using public blockchains increases the durability of malware campaigns because the stored information remains accessible after domains, servers or code repositories are taken down. In 2025, North Korean hackers used a similar technique called EtherHiding to place crypto-stealing code in smart contracts.

AI tools accelerate malicious writes

The company also recorded a 440% increase in malicious blockchain writes since July 2025, when it said high-capacity open-source Chinese artificial intelligence models became capable of producing malicious code with limited safeguards.

Eric Jardine, cybercrimes research lead at Chainalysis, told Cointelegraph that they found a “clear point-in-time association,” but could not prove that the actors publishing the malicious transactions and contracts had used the models to increase their output.

Iran-linked actors put malware directions on Bitcoin

Chainalysis also identified threat actors it suspects are linked to Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence writing encoded command-and-control routing data onto the Bitcoin blockchain. 

The company said its assessment was based on the malware family, decoding method, timing and server infrastructure associated with previously reported Iranian operations, rather than the blockchain activity alone.

Attacker-controlled wallets sent small payments to a well-known Bitcoin address with historical ties to Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, according to the report. Chainalysis said the address had no connection to the attackers and served as a permanent public location that infected devices could check for updated directions.

The attackers could change their server infrastructure by publishing another Bitcoin transaction, after which infected devices would automatically retrieve the new information. Once the malware obtained those instructions, the operation moved offchain for activities that could include remote access, credential theft and the delivery of additional malware.

State hackers drive 420% surge in onchain malware, Chainalysis finds

North Korean and Iran linked hackers were responsible for the majority of the 420% increase this year in malware on public blockchains according to a Chainalysis report. 

State-linked hackers accounted for roughly two-thirds of new activity whereby attackers stored malware instructions or infrastructure information on public blockchains.

Chainalysis also identified UNC5342, a North Korea linked group, to previously unattributed activity spanning Tron, Aptos and BNB Smart Chain.

Chainalysis said using public blockchains increases the durability of malware campaigns because the stored information remains accessible after domains, servers or code repositories are taken down. In 2025, North Korean hackers used a similar technique called EtherHiding to place crypto-stealing code in smart contracts.

Polymarket users referred to prosecutors in South Korea: Report

South Korean police have referred 18 Polymarket users to prosecutors in an illegal gambling investigation that had identified 26 users in total by analyzing publicly available blockchain data.

The users had collectively wagered about 17.6 billion won (worth $12.7 million) on Polymarket, which does not collect users real names or verify identities.  

Authorities said that Polymarket transactions constitute illegal gambling under South Korea’s Criminal Act because users stake assets on outcomes that cannot be predicted with certainty.

Metaplanet cuts Series 10 stock pool by 41%, plans Hong Kong subsidiary

After last week’s controversy over a plan to hand over as much as 20% of its fully diluted shares to executives, Metaplanet has now slashed the Series 10 stock pool.

Metaplanet will reduce the number of potential shares underlying the rights from 319.464 million to 188.19 million, and reset the conversion ratio to the level it was before its September 2025 international share offering.

The change will extinguish more than $220 million in warrant value and increase the company’s Bitcoin per fully diluted share by about 8.8%, according to Metaplanet.

CLARITY act failure is an opportunity for Hong Kong to seize ‘critical strategic window’

The South China Morning Post says crypto industry insiders are urging Hong Kong policymakers to seize the opportunity opened up by the failure of the CLARITY vote in the US.

The delay has given Hong Kong a “critical strategic window” said Allen Ding, director of Bitfire Research. Shawn Yan, founder of Cregis Technology said the city should focus on “building infrastructure that can operate across regulatory boundaries, rather than waiting for any single jurisdiction to define the market for everyone.”

After a week of intense momentum, the U.S. Senate failed to advance the proposed CLARITY Act, a major market-structure bill aimed at bringing clearer rules to digital-asset activity. The setback came via a failed cloture vote—49-50—leaving supporters scrambling to preserve any remaining path forward in a Congress that is steadily running out of time.

Even as the bill appears “walking wounded” rather than formally dead, the procedural route opened by a key Republican senator raises questions about how much can realistically be renegotiated before the legislative calendar tightens. Crypto policy watchers are now focused on whether CLARITY can still assemble the 60 votes needed in the Senate, and what changes would be required to win broader backing—particularly on the ethics provisions tied to President Donald Trump.

Key takeaways

• The CLARITY Act lost the Senate cloture vote 49-50, meaning it did not reach the 60-vote threshold required to move toward a final vote.
• Sen. Thom Tillis switched his vote from yes to no on procedural grounds, filing a motion to reconsider that could reopen debate during the current session.
• Supporters face a tight timeline: the Senate is scheduled to leave for recess on October 2, and there are limited legislative days remaining after the midterms.
• The votes that supported advancing CLARITY came entirely from Republicans, while Democrats split, even as several Democratic senators say they remain committed to passing the bill.
• Even if CLARITY stalls in Congress, industry representatives argue U.S. regulators can still move on guidance, rulemaking, and exemptions under existing authorities.

Tillis’s procedural move keeps one door open

CLARITY’s immediate problem was procedural. A cloture vote—used to end debate and allow a bill to move toward a final vote—fell short. According to earlier reporting linked in the article, the failed advance effectively jammed CLARITY into a Senate-shaped hurdle.

But the week didn’t end with a clear “no” that closes the book. Sen. Thom Tillis changed his vote at the last minute from yes to no, then used parliamentary strategy to file a motion to reconsider. The stated purpose, as described by the Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) director of U.S. federal affairs Ryan Eagan, is to preserve an opportunity to revisit the cloture vote during the session.

“Senator Tillis’s motion to reconsider would provide an opportunity to revisit CLARITY’s cloture vote at any point this session. Specific timing regarding next steps is not clear, but that desire to preserve that opportunity is in part due to the progress made over the past week.”

Still, preserving an option is not the same as solving the underlying vote math. The same dynamics that drove Democrats and Republicans into a late-stage impasse remain, particularly around the ethics provisions in the bill.

The calendar may decide the bill more than the arguments

Beyond politics, the Senate’s schedule is now a central constraint. The article notes that the Senate plans to head to recess on October 2 before returning after the midterm elections, while the House has already recessed for the election period. That combination makes it harder to coordinate movement through both chambers before the year ends.

Rep. Shri Thanedar, a Democrat who supported CLARITY when it passed through the House in July 2025, described the timing as a “major barrier.” In the article, he cites that there are only 20 legislative days left in the current Congress—all after the midterms—making a 2026 compromise “very low” from his perspective.

The article also points to a prior example from stablecoin legislation: the GENIUS bill missed cloture by a narrow margin in May 2025 before clearing a second cloture vote 66-32 just days later, and eventually passed the Senate the following month. However, the analogy may be imperfect. The same reporting includes Kyle Chassé, founder of MV Global, arguing that the difference this time is not the procedural mechanics but the lack of a ready-to-go deal and the potential for the process to reset under a different political landscape.

As lawmakers shift toward election-adjacent negotiations and reduced legislative bandwidth, the question becomes whether CLARITY can be brought back with enough changes to satisfy swing points without triggering a fresh cycle of opposition.

Ethics provisions are the fault line; Democrats still signal interest

One reason CLARITY’s path looks complicated is that the coalition that supported cloture was narrowly partisan. The article states that none of the 49 votes came from Democrats. Chassé is quoted saying that “every one of the 49 was a Republican” and that “zero Democrats voted to even open debate.”

Yet the story does not end with Democratic disengagement. The article references a statement from seven Democratic senators—who voted against advancing the bill—saying they “remain committed” to enacting CLARITY. Among them is Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, who supported moving the bill out of the Banking Committee earlier in the process and, according to the article, later voted no on cloture while still emphasizing the need to regulate digital assets.

Alsobrooks is quoted saying lawmakers were “ready to strike a deal” close to the vote, but that Republican leadership shut down negotiations at the last minute once it became clear a successful cloture outcome was likely. The quote underscores a key dynamic: CLARITY’s supporters and opponents may agree on regulatory direction, but not on how the package handles ethics.

Tillis, meanwhile, is described in the article as wanting to “convince the Democrats to get on board” and applying pressure so Democrats feel ownership of the outcome. His comments in the piece link the procedural switch to his view that the market needs guardrails.

If CLARITY must be rewritten, what could stay?

For CCI’s Ryan Eagan, the negotiating challenge has moved beyond technical drafting into something more politically sensitive. Chassé is quoted asserting that the failed cloture became “a referendum on the President’s crypto holdings” and that “the text as written can’t survive that.”

Before Tuesday’s vote, Republicans requested a large number of changes—described in the article as 126 substantive alterations—responding to Democratic demands. Those adjustments included tighter restrictions intended to prevent public officials from profiting from crypto ventures, and involving state attorneys general in enforcing parts of the ethics framework.

Still, Thanedar argues Democrats want additional limitations specifically on the President’s ability to use office for personal gain, pointing to reported crypto income in annual financial disclosures. The article cites Reuters coverage about Trump reporting at least $1.4 billion in crypto-related earnings for 2025.

Importantly, Chassé suggests lawmakers and industry participants should not treat ethics alone as the decisive hurdle. He points to stablecoin rewards, arguing for “some kind of cap or circuit breaker on yield” as a potential tradeoff needed to win support from “bank-side senators and a chunk of Democrats,” alongside tighter language on illicit finance and enforcement at the state level.

At the same time, the article says crypto stakeholders view certain protections as non-negotiable. Chassé highlights reluctance to give up self-custody and developer protections, which have been defended throughout negotiations during discussions over how far the bill should shield non-custodial developers from financial and anti-money-laundering obligations.

That mix—ethics and yield-linked mechanics on one side, custody and developer protections on the other—may determine whether CLARITY can regain momentum without collapsing into a wholesale rebuild.

Regulators can keep moving even if Congress stalls

Even with CLARITY stuck, industry voices in the article argue that the U.S. regulatory process does not need to wait for new legislation. Eagan says the SEC and CFTC have already shown an intention to reduce uncertainty through guidance, rulemaking, no-action relief, and exemptions.

The article also notes that implementation work related to stablecoin policy continues outside the CLARITY track—citing ongoing activity at Treasury and banking regulators for the GENIUS Act after its progress in Congress.

Michael Saylor is quoted in the article emphasizing that “Progress need not wait for Congress,” suggesting that existing legal authorities can still produce regulatory movement. That point is likely to resonate with market participants who have grown accustomed to a patchwork approach: agencies can advance piecemeal, but statutory clarity typically takes longer and is harder to unwind once passed.

In practical terms, traders and builders may continue to plan around agency actions and enforcement posture while waiting to see whether CLARITY can return to the Senate floor with enough votes.

For now, the critical watch items are straightforward: whether the motion to reconsider leads to a renewed cloture attempt, what amendments (if any) are deemed sufficient to bring Democrats into the coalition, and whether legislative timing allows a final push before the next session dynamics take over.

WisdomTree and MoonPay have announced a partnership aimed at widening U.S. investor access to a tokenized money market mutual fund tied to U.S. Treasuries. The companies say MoonPay will provide technology that helps power a distribution and access layer for WisdomTree’s tokenized product, the WisdomTree Treasury Money Market Digital Fund (WTGXX).

According to the Thursday announcement, the tokenized fund is designed to maintain a $1 share price, and the issuer will use MoonPay’s infrastructure to connect to a broader user base. The firms also disclosed that MoonPay plans to incorporate WTGXX into its stablecoin reserve management workflow.

Key takeaways

• WisdomTree says MoonPay will supply technology that forms an access point for WTGXX, a tokenized U.S. Treasury money market fund.
• The fund targets a $1 per-share price; the issuer plans to leverage MoonPay’s network of more than 35 million accounts.
• MoonPay intends to use WTGXX as part of its stablecoin reserve management stack.
• RWA.xyz data cited by the companies places tokenized U.S. Treasury market value at about $15.4 billion, with WTGXX representing about $1.23 billion.
• WTGXX saw net token flows of $466 million over the past 30 days, based on the difference between tokens minted and burned.

How MoonPay’s infrastructure plugs into WTGXX

The partnership centers on distribution infrastructure rather than on changing the fund’s core strategy. WisdomTree’s WTGXX is a tokenized money market mutual fund that aims to keep its value stable at $1 per share. Under the deal, the issuer plans to use MoonPay’s technology to build an access point that can route eligible participants into the tokenized fund.

The companies say this access layer is expected to give WisdomTree reach into MoonPay’s broader network, described as spanning more than 35 million accounts. For investors, that matters less for the “tokenization” branding and more for the practical question of whether they can actually reach and transact in these products efficiently. Expanding access points has often been a gating factor for real-world assets (RWAs), where compliance and onboarding complexity can slow distribution.

WTGXX as a stablecoin reserve tool

MoonPay’s involvement is not limited to retail-style access. The company also said it plans to use WTGXX as part of its stablecoin reserve management stack. MoonPay is a financial technology firm that provides infrastructure for moving between fiat and digital assets, and it issues dollar-denominated stablecoins backed by U.S. dollars and other high-quality liquid assets held in segregated accounts.

In the announcement, MoonPay pointed to its earlier buildout of an enterprise stablecoin business, which it says it launched in November 2025. The stated reserve architecture—assets held in segregated accounts—highlights one of the recurring themes in stablecoin infrastructure: reserve management needs can be as operational and regulatory-heavy as they are technical. Using a tokenized Treasury-linked money market product could, in theory, align reserve workflows with on-chain settlement and compliance-friendly custody structures, though the announcement does not detail the mechanics beyond saying WTGXX will be part of MoonPay’s stack.

For market participants, the implication is that tokenized Treasuries are increasingly being treated not only as standalone investment vehicles, but also as building blocks inside broader digital-asset financial plumbing.

Market footprint and recent momentum in tokenized Treasuries

The announcement situates the partnership within the growth of tokenized U.S. Treasury markets. On Thursday, the tokenized U.S. Treasury market was cited at about $15.4 billion, with WTGXX accounting for roughly $1.23 billion, according to RWA.xyz data.

Momentum metrics were also provided. WisdomTree and MoonPay said WTGXX logged net flows of $466 million over the past 30 days. The companies define net flows as the difference between tokens minted and tokens burned. By that measure, WTGXX was not alone in positive movement, but it stood out among tokenized Treasury offerings: Ondo’s U.S. Dollar Yield fund (USDY) was described as the only other tokenized Treasuries fund to show positive net flows in the same period, totaling $66 million.

Those figures matter because they frame the partnership as a bet on demand and distribution at a time when tokenized Treasury funds are competing for inflows. If the tokenization ecosystem’s growth is still concentrated in a small set of products, expanding access via established on-ramps could further skew which funds attract additional capital.

What could follow: more tokenized funds and broader geography

Beyond WTGXX, the partners suggested the collaboration could extend to other tokenized funds. WisdomTree said the arrangement may expand, including into markets outside the United States, though it did not specify which products or regions would come next.

For investors and builders, that “optionality” is a meaningful signal. Tokenized money market funds and Treasury-linked instruments rely on a combination of legal structure, investor onboarding, custody and settlement design, and ongoing operations. If a tech-enabled access point proves effective for one fund—particularly one that aims for a stable share price—it may become a reusable distribution model for additional offerings.

However, readers should also note what is not spelled out in the announcement: the companies did not provide details on timeline, target jurisdictions for expansion, onboarding prerequisites, or how MoonPay’s role changes once investors move from access into ongoing investment/redemption flows. Those are key operational variables that typically determine whether demand converts into sustained AUM growth.

With WTGXX already showing significant net flows over the past month and a substantial share of the tokenized Treasury market by the companies’ cited RWA.xyz data, the partnership’s next test will be execution: whether MoonPay’s expanded access layer translates into continued inflows and whether MoonPay’s stablecoin reserve use case scales smoothly as the stablecoin business grows. Investors watching RWAs and stablecoin infrastructure should look for updates on adoption, jurisdictional rollout, and any additional funds that may be brought into the same access framework.
