Crypto trader Ran Neuner said Bitcoin could be at risk if AI continues to pull miners away from the network, but others disagree. A new debate has emerged over whether a continued shift by Bitcoin miners toward artificial intelligence could impact the network’s security and its role as a store of value. While some argue that miners leaving the network would leave it more susceptible to a “51% attack,” others argue it will simply trigger the Bitcoin network to rebalance itself as designed, making it enticing for miners again. “AI has killed Bitcoin forever,” crypto trader Ran Neuner said on Sunday, arguing that it has become Bitcoin mining’s biggest competitor because both industries compete for electricity.

The regulator filed for dismissal of its case against BitClout founder Nader Al-Naji, after “reassessment of the evidentiary record." The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped a two-year-long case against the founder of the blockchain-based social media platform BitClout, Nader Al-Naji.  In the joint dismissal stipulation filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York on Thursday, the SEC cited the crypto task force, which was tasked with developing a regulatory framework for crypto in January 2025, and a “reassessment of the evidentiary record” as the basis for dismissal. The regulator cautioned that this case outcome doesn’t necessarily mean other similar enforcement actions will receive the same treatment.  “The Commission’s decision to exercise its discretion and seek dismissal of this litigation is based on the particular facts and circumstances of this case and does not necessarily reflect the Commission’s position on any other case,” it said.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) posted the results of a survey on Sunday, finding that Gen Z has high levels of trust in “often unreliable sources,” which has contributed to riskier financial decisions. “Moneysmart’s Gen Z study found that while Gen Z has a strong appetite for reputable and trustworthy financial content, many struggle to find it – and their search often leads them to sources designed for engagement rather than accuracy,” ASIC said.  Read more
