Galaxy’s head of research said on X that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an "innovation exemption" to create a path for on-chain secondary trading of tokenized stocks. According to Odaily, the exemption will run from September 17, 2026, to September 17, 2031, and will apply to certain tokenized securities trading venues that offer permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools. The venues must be deployed on public, permissionless blockchains, but trading will be limited to verified or authorized participants. Eligible tokens must correspond to actual U.S. National Market System stocks and grant the same shareholder rights as traditional shares. The exemption does not cover primary issuance, synthetic exposure, or products that do not carry legal or beneficial rights to the underlying stock. Galaxy said it is studying next steps for enabling on-chain secondary trading of GLXY.

Hut 8 co-founder Marc van der Chijs warned in a CoinDesk interview that intense competition between companies and nations is accelerating artificial intelligence development beyond human control, creating potential systemic risks for financial systems and critical infrastructure. According to ChainCatcher, he said the situation has already been lost to control and that systemic damage or catastrophic failure may be nearly unavoidable before real international guardrails are established. Van der Chijs said AI and robotics could eventually replace 90% to 95% of existing jobs and sharply reduce the cost of goods and services, forcing governments to seek new revenue sources such as taxes on robots or AI use. He also said AI could expose vulnerabilities in traditional banking software and weaken confidence in institutions that rely on interconnected systems. In crypto, he argued that businesses built around Bitcoin, such as exchanges, may be more vulnerable than the underlying network itself. He said he previously sold a large amount of Bitcoin to invest in AI and believes capital shifting into AI helped prevent Bitcoin from reaching his earlier $200,000 to $250,000 target. He is now reinvesting some AI profits into crypto assets through exchange-traded funds. Van der Chijs said he still views Bitcoin as the only asset worth holding for life and called Hut 8's move into AI data centers the best decision it has ever made.

Bitcoin News posted on X that attackers accessed a small number of Blink custodial accounts and withdrew funds. According to Odaily, Blink said most funds remain safe, non-custodial wallets were not affected, and it has not confirmed whether the Bitcoin payment protocol Spark, which supports several Lightning Network wallets, was the source of the security incident.

Crypto’s AI-token market is becoming more selective, with capital flowing into a small group of projects while hundreds of AI-labeled tokens struggle to attract meaningful participation. According to NS3.AI, CoinMarketCap’s Alice Liu said the category includes about 945 tokens worth $18.5 billion in total, but fewer than one in 10 meet both a $20 million market-cap threshold and $1 million in daily trading volume. Liu expects AI’s share of crypto capital to grow while concentrating in perhaps a dozen or two names.

According to CNBC, many federal student loan borrowers could see their monthly payments double or triple in the coming weeks if they do not leave the now-defunct Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE, repayment plan. The Trump administration told borrowers earlier this year that they would have about 90 days to move to another program, and for some borrowers that window began July 1, making the earliest deadline Sept. 29. Servicers are sending notices in waves, so many borrowers have more time. More than 6.9 million borrowers were still enrolled in SAVE as of March, with an average debt of about $55,000, according to an analysis by higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz. If borrowers do not choose another repayment plan within 90 days of notification, they will be moved into either the Standard Repayment Plan or the new Tiered Standard Plan, which launched July 1. Kantrowitz said payments for some borrowers could double or triple. The Biden administration-era SAVE plan offered very low monthly payments, but it was overturned by Republican-led legal challenges and legislation. Many enrollees have not made a payment in more than two years while lawsuits played out, and their balances have grown with interest. Borrowers can apply for another income-driven repayment plan through studentaid.gov or their servicer's website, but the Education Department is still working through a backlog of more than 530,000 pending income-driven repayment applications as of the end of April, according to a May court filing. A new income-driven option, the Repayment Assistance Plan, or RAP, launched in July and caps monthly payments at 1% to 10% of earnings, with loan forgiveness after 30 years. An analysis provided to CNBC by student loan advisory platform Summer found that a two-person household earning just over $50,000 with $60,000 in student debt at a 6.8% interest rate would owe $690 a month under the 10-year Standard Repayment Plan, compared with $158 under RAP.
