Anthropic Refuses to Grant UK AI Safety Agency Access to Test Latest Models

According to Sina Finance, Anthropic has refused to submit its latest model, Claude Mythos 5.1, to the UK Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (AISI) for testing prior to release, restricting access solely to vetted U.S. institutions. This move has raised concerns within Whitehall and at AISI itself, with UK national security officials worried it could set a precedent that prevents AISI from accessing cutting-edge models in the future. Analysts point out that this action may be tied to the U.S. government's increasingly stringent export control policies regarding the AI industry—the U.S. government had previously implemented export controls on Anthropic's Mythos and Fable models, banning their use by foreign nationals. Anthropic declined to comment, stating only that it is "coordinating with the U.S. government to promptly expand model accessibility for more domestic and international partners."

India FIU-IND Issues Non-Compliance Notices to 15 Offshore Crypto Platforms

According to CoinDesk, India's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-IND) issued non-compliance notices to 15 small and medium-sized offshore cryptocurrency platforms—including Weex, Blofin, Rezorex, Bitunix, DigiFinex, Toobit, XT.com, Latoken, WOO X, Pionex, ChangeNow, SimpleSwap, Fixedfloat, WhiteBIT, and Guardarian—pursuant to Section 13 of the Anti-Money Laundering Act, alleging that these platforms violated regulations by serving Indian users without registering with FIU-IND. Since March 2023, India has brought cryptocurrency platforms under an anti-money laundering regulatory framework equivalent to that of traditional banks, mandating that all platforms serving Indian users, regardless of whether they maintain domestic offices, complete registration and fulfill obligations including customer identity verification and suspicious transaction reporting. In light of this enforcement, reports indicate that some Indian users are circumventing regulations by transferring USDT to overseas platforms to purchase gift cards. FIU-IND also cautioned the public that cryptocurrency products and NFTs remain unregulated and carry high risks, and that affected users may not be able to obtain regulatory recourse for any resulting losses.

Cornell Brooks Report: US Exempts Taxes on Crypto Payments Under $300, Net Income Could Increase by Up to $2.58 Billion Over 10 Years

Odaily News, a report from the Cornell Brooks School Tech Policy Institute (BTPI) shows that if the US implements a de minimis exemption for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency payments under $300, federal net revenue is projected to increase by $859 million over 10 years, with a range of $172 million to $2.58 billion. The estimate assumes the number of digital asset payment users remains at 5.4 million.US Senator Cynthia Lummis' proposed bill S. 2207 seeks to exempt capital gains tax on related payments, with an annual cap of $5,000 on tax-free capital gains. Some other legislative initiatives aim to limit the exemption scope to regulated stablecoins, and discussions are still ongoing.BTPI stated that current capital gains tax and small transaction reporting requirements suppress daily Bitcoin payments. If transaction-level tax and reporting burdens are removed, Bitcoin payments and demand could increase; at current adoption levels, the near-term impact on Bitcoin prices and tax revenue may be minimal, while the long-term impact depends on factors such as payment scale.

JPMorgan: Four Reasons for a Bullish Outlook on US Stocks, September Rate Hike Decision Hinges on CPI

According to Chaoxiang Research, JPMorgan’s September 6, 2026 research report highlights four reasons supporting a bullish stance on US equities despite heightened volatility in interest rates, exchange rates, and oil prices: strong growth (GDP and EPS forecasts continue to be raised), interest rates are not too high (rising yields reflect economic expansion rather than monetary tightening), the US favors a weak dollar policy, and hedge fund positioning remains neutral to light. August nonfarm payrolls added 162,000 jobs, far exceeding expectations; however, whether to hike rates in September hinges on the September 11 CPI data, with JPMorgan projecting core CPI to rise 0.21% month-over-month. The MSCI World Index has gained 12% year-to-date, while the 10-year US Treasury yield has climbed by only 60 basis points, and earnings growth is currently absorbing valuations.
