According to Polymarket, traders give a 79% chance that Anthropic will be valued above Bitcoin, which has a market cap of $1.6 trillion, within the next 60 days. The author outlines two views: supporters point to Anthropic's $16.8 billion in revenue in its most recent quarter, analysts' projection of $200 billion in annual revenue by 2028, and the fact that Bitcoin generates no revenue. Skeptics argue that AI is in a speculative bubble, that Anthropic has not yet found a way to become profitable, that revenue could plateau if corporate AI spending pulls back, and that a low-cost competitor from China could change the picture. Bitcoin, the author notes, has survived market cycles since 2009, while the Polymarket odds have risen from 20% in April to close to 80% now.

- Anthropic warns 'AI worms' may autonomously spread across devices like a virus
Anthropic warned that rogue 'AI worms' could self-replicate and autonomously infect user devices such as home appliances and internet-connected gadgets, with small AI models reportedly months away from being capable enough to do so on commercial IoT devices. In a Monday report by researchers William Zhou and Daniel Freeman for its Frontier Red Team, the company said such a threat would be challenging because it would have no centralized point to shut off. The warning comes amid concerns that AI's growing mathematical abilities could break the cryptographic signatures protecting crypto wallets, putting about one-third of Bitcoin supply at risk. Glassnode co-founder Rafael Schultze-Kraft said 6.26 million BTC sits in vulnerable addresses, with 4.33 million exposed due to address reuse, and moving those coins to fresh wallets would end that exposure. Dragonfly's Haseeb Qureshi called the warning 'cryptographic doomerism' and argued that migrating tokens to new addresses is not a real solution.
- OpenAI Proves ETH Is False, and Crypto Twitter Has Questions
OpenAI says its AI has disproved the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), a 1999 computer-science conjecture unrelated to Ethereum. The hypothesis holds that 3-SAT cannot be solved much faster than trying every combination, and hundreds of papers rely on it. OpenAI's 67-page paper, dated October 17 and revised October 25, describes a deterministic algorithm that counts satisfying assignments in subexponential time. Impagliazzo, Paturi, and MIT's Ryan Williams lead the independent review but stress that their involvement is not certification of the claim. Anthropic separately posted a Claude-credited paper dated October 26 on 3-SAT, which says its result is purely asymptotic and does not address solving formulas in practice.
- Crypto exchange MNX takes on OKX, BitGet offering pre-IPO futures for AI giants
MNX, a new crypto exchange founded by former Manifold executives and built on the MegaETH blockchain, launched futures tied to the valuations of private AI firms OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek and Moonshot. Unlike the perpetual contracts offered by OKX and Bitget, MNX's contracts expire at the end of 2027 and carry no recurring funding fees, though settlement prices may differ from what investors would pay for private shares. If a company is still private at expiry, the exchange uses public valuations from funding rounds, investment funds or secondary markets, and only as a last resort sets the price itself. Traders can use up to 3x their funds, U.S. customers are not yet served, and the platform plans markets on the wider AI economy. The exchange raised $6.4 million led by Village Global in June.
- AI poses greater threat to Bitcoin than quantum computing, Swan founder says
Swan Bitcoin founder Cory Klippsten argues that AI, specifically large language models that hackers use to probe security weaknesses, is a more immediate threat to Bitcoin than quantum computing. He estimates that quantum computers capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography are at least a decade away, and says the network could add quantum-resistant protections if the threat becomes credible, though rushing them now would add unnecessary complexity. He also suggests some crypto startups and investors have used quantum fears to attract funding. The comments come as Brazil's Mercado Bitcoin suspended deposits and withdrawals on Monday after a security incident, with researchers estimating more than $46 million left its wallets, and days after Binance lost $6.3 billion in an Oct. 29 hack that the FBI attributed to North Korean hackers.
- Tom Lee Calls Bottom on AI Stock Selloff, Citing Tight Supply and Crypto Resilience
Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee told CNBC the AI stock selloff has reached its bottom, arguing demand remains constrained by supply. He pointed to crypto's limited reaction to the Binance hack, initially estimated at about $6.3 billion, as a sign that many sellers have already exited. Despite strong AI demand, Intel shares plunged nearly 30% to $65.76 after a weak fourth-quarter forecast, due to manufacturing constraints and a weaker PC business. Bitcoin fell about 4% to roughly $76,400, and U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $643.2 million in outflows that day. Binance said about $3 billion of the affected assets had been frozen.
- If the AI Boom Goes Bust, What Happens to Crypto? Here's the Most Likely Scenario for the Crypto Market.
The author outlines three crypto scenarios if AI stocks collapse: a base case (70% odds) where most coins, including Bitcoin, fall with AI stocks before capital rotates into Bitcoin, a bull case (20%) where major coins shrug off the bust, and a bear case (10%) where a broad risk-off rout hits most coins for months. Bitcoin, already 39% below its early October 2025 high and about 60% of the sector's total value, serves as the main signal across all three. Ethereum and Solana would likely lag, since many AI tokens in their ecosystems would need to clear first. The author says he plans to keep buying crypto in all three scenarios, leaning toward Bitcoin and Hyperliquid in the bear case.

Latest news
- Reddit Sinks 8% as Social Ad Worries Deepen in Tech Rout
Reddit (RDDT) shares fell 8% amid a broad tech selloff, after Snap reported only 4% ad revenue growth in the third quarter. The article argues Snap's slowdown is largely its own issue, since Meta's third-quarter revenue rose 26% to $64.6 billion. The bigger risk for Reddit is lost search traffic from Google's AI answers, which contributed to fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $1.00 billion to $1.03 billion, below expectations. Reddit's third-quarter revenue still rose 53% to $895 million, though analysts trimmed their 2027 revenue estimate to $4.34 billion from $4.47 billion. The article names the data-licensing renewal with Google, due in early 2027, as the next key test.
- Amazon-Uber Eats Deal Sends DASH Stock To Biggest Drop In A Year
DoorDash (DASH) shares fell 10% on Thursday after Amazon and Uber Technologies (UBER) announced a partnership giving Prime members free delivery on Uber Eats restaurant orders of $25 or more placed through Amazon's website or app, across the U.S. The deal replaces Amazon's previous Grubhub partnership, and Amazon estimates frequent users could save more than $175 a year, though service fees still apply. The article argues the arrangement gives Uber Eats immediate access to Amazon's large Prime base, raising competition for DoorDash, which holds a dominant share of U.S. restaurant delivery spending. Less than two weeks earlier, DoorDash agreed to acquire Instacart (CART) for roughly $17 billion, or $65 per share, with closing expected in late 2027 or early 2028. DASH stock is down 22% year to date.
- Amazon.com (AMZN) Could Gain From Slower AI Data Center Expansion
The article says Democrats' win in the 2026 U.S. midterm elections on November 5, 2026 could bring tighter scrutiny of AI infrastructure spending and new limits on large data center expansion, which could favor cloud providers such as Amazon that already operate substantial computing capacity. It cites Amazon's US$225b in Trainium commitments and US$578b backlog, against guided 2026 capex of about US$220b. The suggested early indicator is whether that backlog and new AI deals show up in AWS usage growth and operating cash flow. The article also flags that higher regulatory friction around power and tax treatment could weigh on free cash flow if the economics of AI spending shift.
- Top Democrats call to rein in AI buildout after midterms sweep: 'National data center moratorium now'
After Democrats' midterm wins on Tuesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders called for a national data center moratorium, pointing to local referendums where voters approved restrictions on data centers. A CNBC Voter Poll found 56% of voters said AI and data centers were a crucial or major factor in their vote, and 65% of those voters backed a Democratic congressional candidate. Gina Hinojosa, who ousted Gov. Greg Abbott in Texas, pledged a moratorium on all data center approvals until the legislature passes protective laws. Chip stocks led the sell-off, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) tumbling nearly 9% on Tuesday, Nvidia down 8% and Advanced Micro Devices down more than 14%.
- 3 Stocks Riding The Shift Away From Search Ads
The article reviews three stocks that could benefit from, or be hurt by, a shift away from search advertising after signs of weakness in Alphabet's search business. Nexxen International, a video and CTV ad platform with about $383 million in revenue and a $486 million market cap, is one. AppLovin, an AI-powered mobile ad platform with about US$6.8b in advertising revenue and a market cap of US$82.2b, saw its stock fall nearly 50% while an SEC investigation was open. The SEC dropped that case in August 2026 with no findings of wrongdoing. MNTN, a self-serve Connected TV ad platform with about $313 million in revenue and a $728 million market cap, is the third, with customer acquisition timing that may vary by quarter.
- Is Newmont (NEM) Still Undervalued On Stronger Q3 Earnings And Higher Guidance?
Newmont (NEM) rose 9.9% in one day to $118.11 after a third-quarter report showing higher sales and net income, lower reported costs and upgraded full-year production guidance. The stock is up 16.69% year to date, with a 1-year total shareholder return of 46.05% and a 3-year return of about 2.6x, supported by firmer gold prices, improved guidance and a maintained dividend. The article notes bulls cite stronger earnings and guidance, while bears argue the recent jump prices in too much. One widely followed narrative puts fair value at $137.07 per share, above the $118.11 close. Cited risks include lower-grade ore at key sites and higher sustaining capex that could squeeze future free cash flow.
