DeGods Founder: Anthropic's Prospectus Can't Mask AI Investment Risks; Model Homogenization May Squeeze Industry Margins
Frank, founder of DeGods and a well-known trader, posted on X that although Anthropic's latest S-1 prospectus shows strong revenue growth, this should not be taken as evidence that the headwinds facing AI investment have disappeared.Frank pointed out that Q2 2026 coincided with a peak period of enterprises massively purchasing and consuming AI tokens, and it was not until July that the market began to pay attention to AI spending management. At the same time, AI models are becoming increasingly homogenized, with differences between model outputs growing ever smaller, which could intensify competition and compress industry profit margins—a trend that had not yet fully manifested in the second quarter.In addition, he believes there is still a lack of clear evidence proving that AI can create more profits for most enterprises. Anthropic's large enterprise customers are likewise under pressure to improve their own profit margins and may proactively cut Claude-related spending in the future.Frank also said that major tech companies and AI labs have signed capital expenditure commitments extending through 2034, and these expectations may already be priced into stock valuations. Whether companies reduce costs by improving the efficiency of existing chips or raise additional capital expenditure funds by issuing more shares, both could put pressure on related stock valuations in the future.Frank concluded by emphasizing that he is bullish on AI over the long term and may participate heavily in Anthropic's IPO, but he believes the industry's ultimate winner has yet to be determined, and the real AI investment opportunity may not emerge until the current market cycle comes to an end.
BIS Warns: Beware of High Leverage Amid the AI Frenzy
Odaily reports: In its latest quarterly assessment, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), known as the "central bank of central banks," issued a warning that alongside the rapid rise in leverage and the growing opacity of underlying debt structures, the financial vulnerabilities underpinning this round of exuberance are intensifying.This risk warning is not unfounded. In July of this year, the Situational Awareness fund, helmed by Leopold Aschenbrenner, staged a harrowing episode. The fund had placed heavy bets on the AI sector, but a sharp drop in the valuation of its underlying assets triggered a wave of margin calls from banks, ultimately forcing it to urgently transfer the core holdings of its public market equity portfolio to Ken Griffin's Citadel in order to barely survive the liquidity crisis.In the BIS's view, this incident is a typical microcosm of leveraged hedge funds becoming deeply entangled in core markets. Frank Smets, Head of Economic Analysis and Statistics at the BIS, pointed out that cross-market leverage is concerning, as it can easily amplify normal market fluctuations into severe systemic shocks. The near-miss of AI-themed hedge funds has once again laid this risk bare.
Canada's stablecoin regulatory draft prohibits issuers from paying yields and requires reserves to be held at banks.
According to Cryptopolitan, Canada published a draft stablecoin regulation in the Canada Gazette on October 24, prohibiting issuers from paying direct or indirect returns to holders, including platform activity rewards permitted by some U.S. platforms. The draft requires non-financial institution issuers to register with the Bank of Canada, maintain reserves of high-quality liquid assets in the denomination currency at a 1:1 ratio, be redeemable at par value, and hold reserve assets in banks. Banks, trust companies, and other prudentially regulated institutions are exempt from this issuer framework, and tokenized deposits at these institutions may continue to pay interest and remain eligible for deposit insurance. The draft opens a 60-day consultation period, and the Department of Finance Canada expects the rules to take effect in 2027. The Canadian Banking Association has expressed support for the return ban, while Stablecorp CEO Kesem Frank advocates following the U.S. approach to allow certain rewards.
New Jersey officials seek U.S. Supreme Court review of Kalshi sports event contracts case
Odaily News: New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport and acting director of the state's Division of Gaming Enforcement, Mary Jo Flaherty, have filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, requesting review of the state's enforcement action against prediction market platform Kalshi over its sports event contracts.The petition cites civil cases brought by at least 20 state gaming regulators and asks the Supreme Court to rule on whether prediction market companies may still violate state laws while complying with regulations set by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The petition also addresses whether the Dodd-Frank Act precludes state regulatory authority over sports betting within their jurisdictions.The filing challenges a 2-1 ruling issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in April. Kalshi spokesperson Dani Lever stated that the company disagrees with New Jersey's appeal to the Supreme Court, adding that Kalshi cannot operate under separate oversight from 50 regulators, and that the company remains confident in the lower court's ruling.

Trump's eldest son linked to Kalshi and Polymarket, raising questions over conflicts of interest and information advantages
Odaily News As prediction markets gradually expand into the realms of politics and government decision-making, insider trading risks are becoming a regulatory focus. U.S. prediction market platform Kalshi has stated that it has identified multiple suspected cases of insider trading and has submitted the relevant leads to federal regulators.Kalshi spokesperson Laura Frank stated that the company prohibits market manipulation and insider trading and has established a trading surveillance system similar to those used in securities markets. Earlier this year, Kalshi's monitoring system flagged suspicious trading activity by former Congressman George Santos in markets related to the U.S. President's State of the Union address. The company subsequently submitted its investigative findings to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).Additionally, federal agencies are investigating whether former White House teleprompter operator Gabriel Perez used advance knowledge of Trump's speech content to trade on Kalshi-related markets.Meanwhile, the Trump family is accelerating its push into the prediction market space. Trump Media & Technology Group is developing a prediction market platform called TruthPredict, which will allow users to trade prediction contracts tied to major events. The company is also launching Truth API, providing Wall Street with high-speed data access to Truth Social content.Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of the former president, currently serves as a strategic advisor to Kalshi, while his venture capital firm, 1789 Capital, has invested in rival Polymarket and joined its advisory board. This means the Trump family is simultaneously linked to the two leading prediction market platforms, while Trump Media Group is also building its own prediction market business.Although there is currently no public evidence showing that Donald Trump Jr. or the Trump family has traded using inside government information, the potential conflicts of interest arising from the intertwining of presidential public information, market trading, and family business interests are drawing growing external scrutiny.As of now, Donald Trump Jr.'s team and Trump Media & Technology Group have not immediately responded to requests for comment.

Kalshi's federal protection claims dismissed by federal judge in Utah anti-gambling law lawsuit
: U.S. Federal District Judge Robert J. Shelby ruled that the Commodity Exchange Act does not prevent Utah from applying its anti-gambling laws to Kalshi's sports event contracts, granting Utah's motion for summary judgment and denying Kalshi's motion for a preliminary injunction. Shelby stated that the jurisdictional provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act are subject to multiple reasonable interpretations, and in such cases, courts generally do not support federal law preemption. He also rejected Kalshi's argument that amendments under the Dodd-Frank Act established federal preemption for derivatives trading. Kalshi spokesperson Jacki McGavick said the company disagrees with the ruling and will appeal to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. Currently, Utah users can still use sports event contracts, and the state has not yet initiated enforcement action. The New York Attorney General has already cited the ruling as supplementary grounds in opposing the CFTC's motion for a preliminary injunction against New York state. Earlier, New York sued Kalshi last week, alleging that it operates as an unlicensed gambling operator.
US House Energy Committee Requests SpaceX Open Memphis AI Data Center for Inspection, Alleging Its Illegal Discharge Endangers Public Health
According to CNBC reports, Frank Pallone (New Jersey), the ranking Democratic member of the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce, wrote to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on July 29, requesting that he provide relevant records regarding its xAI Memphis data center by August 11 and allow an onsite visit. Pallone accused SpaceX of extensively using natural gas combustion turbines to power the Colossus and Colossus 2 data centers without obtaining permits or installing pollution control equipment, posing "significant health risks" to surrounding communities. Notably, the Trump administration's Department of Justice has sought to intervene to assist xAI in defending against relevant lawsuits filed by environmental organizations and the NAACP. A May Gallup poll showed that 70% of Americans oppose building AI data centers locally, as public resistance to the expansion of AI infrastructure by major tech companies continues to intensify.

HIVE fiscal year revenue up 158% to $298 million, AI GPU hourly revenue approximately 24 times that of mining equipment
HIVE Executive Chairman Frank Holmes stated that the company's cluster of 504 NVIDIA B200 GPUs at Bell Canada's Manitoba AI fabric generates approximately $2.90 per GPU per hour in revenue; by comparison, HIVE's Bitcoin mining equipment generates approximately $0.12 per hour. HIVE's total revenue for fiscal year 2026 reached $298 million, up 158% year-over-year; digital currency revenue from Bitcoin mining grew 164%. During the same period, average hash rate stood at 22.2 EH/s, up 290% year-over-year, accounting for approximately 3% of the Bitcoin network's total hash rate, and the company mined 2,885 BTC. HIVE's BUZZ HPC division, which houses its AI and high-performance computing business, generated revenue of $19.5 million, up 94% from $10 million in the prior fiscal year. The company also signed GPU cloud agreements worth approximately $220 million with Bell and AI company Cohere, and raised $75 million through a note issuance to fund AI infrastructure expansion. HIVE is building a 320-megawatt AI data center in the Greater Toronto Area, with plans to eventually house more than 100,000 GPUs. The company stated that if the facility becomes fully operational in the second half of 2027, it could generate approximately $360 million in annualized recurring revenue.
Former SEC Chair Gensler Opposes CFTC Jurisdiction Over Sports Prediction Markets
Odaily Former SEC Chair and former CFTC Chair Gary Gensler, in an amicus brief filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, stated that the Dodd-Frank Act does not grant the CFTC the authority to regulate sports betting.This position directly contradicts the claims of current CFTC Chair Michael Selig and prediction market platform Kalshi, who argue that contracts related to sports events fall under federal regulatory scope rather than state gambling oversight.Gensler pointed out that if the Dodd-Frank Act truly preempted state authority over sports betting, it would have been major news at the time, yet no one understood it that way. He served as CFTC Chair from 2009 to 2014 and was responsible for implementing rules under the Dodd-Frank Act.The amicus brief pertains to litigation between Kalshi and the state of Ohio. The Ohio gambling regulator had demanded Kalshi cease offering sports-related event contracts to state residents, leading Kalshi to sue the state. However, a request for a preliminary injunction was denied by the court. The CFTC supports Kalshi, arguing that Ohio has overstepped its authority.Over the past year, the CFTC has continuously sought to expand its regulatory reach over prediction markets, having sued several states to establish its jurisdiction. This week, the agency also proposed broader rules for prediction markets, generally supporting sports-related contracts while aiming to impose stricter restrictions on betting concerning events such as terrorist attacks, assassinations, and wars.
