Spain is preparing for FATF examination The text in the new Real Decreto 813/2026 decree, which appeared in Spain’s Official State Gazette (BOE) on October 8, referenced the FATF’s upcoming mutual evaluation. The agency’s evaluation, scheduled across 2026 and 2027, covers a full audit of Spain’s anti-money-laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist-financing (CTF) framework. Spain has been preparing to ace this exam since at least February, when its Treasury called for expert help on FATF evaluation methodology via a consultancy contract worth up to 2.48 million euros.

As Sirer recently posted on X, “We will see AI exploiting system-level bugs long before ECDSA goes away.” In his view, more advanced AI models can find the bugs in the blockchain software, libraries, and crypto wallets that have not been seen by humans. Attackers may use these bugs to steal billions, he warned, long before AI breaks the widely used cryptography. “If you believe, for instance that Ripple’s (or put any other high-value, low-use chain here) under-scrutiny code has no 0-day bugs that are hard for humans to see but easy for AI to detect, you’re a deluded person,”…

Related News Eric Jackson: “Bitcoin Could Reach $100,000 by the End of This Year” – His Long-Term Target Is $50 Million The analyst also emphasized that this process might be a development unfolding over years rather than a sudden break. Farrell likened the monetary devaluation to a “slowly melting ice cube,” suggesting that in the long term, rare assets could come to the forefront during periods of dollar devaluation. He also considered Bitcoin’s more limited pullback during the recent bear market, compared to previous cycles, as a possible sign of this structural change. “Bitcoin Could Still Surpass $100,000 in 2026”…

Ecosystem data provider HL Eco identified the transfer as the first month’s AQAv2 payment, saying: “Funds are waiting to be transferred to the Assistance Fund to buy and effectively burn $HYPE.” How the Yield Reaches $HYPE The arrangement divides responsibility between Coinbase and Circle.

The $USDC backing HyperCore balances is held on HyperEVM in a 9:1 split between the treasury address and the technical deployer’s linked contract. The treasury address shares 100% of the AQA rate—a cost-adjusted…

Taxable gains would be calculated using the acquisition cost of the assets disposed of, with a weighted average for holdings of the same token bought at different prices. The full Assembly is scheduled to begin examining the 2027 Finance Bill on Tuesday, Oct. 13. If enacted, investors could incur capital gains taxes without cashing out into fiat. MP Daniel Labaronne’s Amendment I-CCF798, also adopted Wednesday, would allow investors to carry forward realized crypto losses for 10 years. An exit tax amendment adopted Thursday would cover unrealized gains when taxpayers with household crypto holdings worth more than 800,000 euros ($895,000) transfer…

Bitcoin needs sustained buying above $86,500 According to the team’s figures, about 1.39 million $BTC had a cost basis between $84,000 and $86,500 as of Sep. 30. Bitfinex described the concentration as overhead supply, with holders’ purchase prices forming an important test for incoming demand. In the analysts’ assessment, sustained trading above $86,500 would return that supply to profit and leave a clearer route toward Bitcoin’s $87,722 yearly opening price. Their condition concerns Bitcoin holding above the range, rather than briefly reaching its upper boundary. “The question now is whether spot demand can sustain the move,” the team said. Within…

Prevention measures MEPs want evidence-based corruption risk mapping and stronger rules around public procurement, grants, and transparency. They are pushing for more harmonized standards on conflicts of interest, gift policies, sponsored travel, asset declarations, and the revolving door phenomenon.
