NFTs are unique digital identifiers recorded on a blockchain that certify ownership and authenticity of a specific asset. Moving past the "PFP" craze, 2026 NFTs emphasize utility, representing everything from IP rights and digital fashion to RWA titles and event ticketing. This tag explores the technical standards of digital ownership, the growth of NFT marketplaces, and the integration of non-fungible tech into the broader Creator Economy and enterprise solutions.

Criminals Are Vibe Hacking With AI To Carry Out Ransoms At Scale: Anthropic

Criminals Are Vibe Hacking With AI To Carry Out Ransoms At Scale: Anthropic

The post Criminals Are Vibe Hacking With AI To Carry Out Ransoms At Scale: Anthropic appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Despite “sophisticated” guardrails, AI infrastructure company Anthropic said cybercriminals are still finding ways to misuse its AI chatbot Claude to carry out large-scale cyberattacks.  In a “Threat Intelligence” report released Wednesday, members of Anthropic’s Threat Intelligence team, including Alex Moix, Ken Lebedev and Jacob Klein, shared several cases in which criminals had misused the Claude chatbot, with some attacks demanding more than $500,000 in ransom. They found that the chatbot was used not only to provide technical advice to the criminals, but also to directly execute hacks on their behalf through “vibe hacking,” allowing them to perform attacks with only basic knowledge of coding and encryption. Vibe hacking is social engineering using AI to manipulate human emotions, trust and decision-making. In February, blockchain security firm Chainalysis forecast crypto scams may have their biggest year in 2025 as generative AI has made it more scalable and affordable for attacks. Anthropic found one hacker who had been “vibe hacking” with Claude to steal sensitive data from at least 17 organizations — including healthcare, emergency services, government and religious institutions —with ransom demands ranging from $75,000 to $500,000 in Bitcoin. A simulated ransom note demonstrates how cybercriminals leverage Claude to make threats. Source: Anthropic The hacker trained Claude to assess stolen financial records, calculate appropriate ransom amounts and write custom ransom notes to maximize psychological pressure. While Anthropic later banned the attacker, the incident reflects how AI is making it easier for even the most basic-level coders to carry out cybercrimes to an “unprecedented degree.” “Actors who cannot independently implement basic encryption or understand syscall mechanics are now successfully creating ransomware with evasion capabilities [and] implementing anti-analysis techniques.” North Korean IT workers also used Anthropic’s Claude Anthropic also found that North Korean IT workers have been using Claude to forge convincing identities, pass technical…

The Sandbox co-founders ousted from exec roles amid mass layoffs

The Sandbox co-founders ousted from exec roles amid mass layoffs

The post The Sandbox co-founders ousted from exec roles amid mass layoffs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from The Drop newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. The metaverse is long over. And yet, it’s always been here, since the dawn of the internet. You’re in the metaverse as you read this. The metaverse in the 2022-era sense of the word was little more than a fancy marketing play around rebranding VR. But every video game, every livestream, and every social media app is arguably all part of the existing metaverse that is the internet. Paradoxically, the metaverse as corporate executives imagined it never materialized, because it was already here this whole time. Today we’re unpacking some details about what’s been going on at The Sandbox, one of the OG crypto metaverse projects, and the massive overhaul it now faces. The Sandbox gets slashed, pivots to memes Ethereum-based metaverse land game The Sandbox is being gutted and restructured, facing layoffs and executive changes as Animoca Brands reshapes its future. The crypto newsletter TheBigWhale first reported the news on Wednesday. Animoca Brands confirmed to Blockworks that a “restructuring” has occurred. Animoca Brands has laid off over half of The Sandbox’s 250 employees and moved the game’s co-founders — Sébastien Borget and Arthur Madrid — into new roles.  Animoca CEO Robby Yung was internally appointed The Sandbox’s new CEO about two weeks ago, TheBigWhale notes, with an internal source adding that Borget and Madrid “no longer have executive powers” in their new roles. In a statement shared with Blockworks, Animoca confirmed the role changes but said that both of The Sandbox’s cofounders “remain deeply involved” with the project. Borget is taking on the role of “ambassador,” while Madrid is taking a “chairman” role. In a phone call with TheBigWhale, Borget reportedly said: “I remain the person who best represents The Sandbox around the world.” Borget did…

Tether to Launch USDT Natively on Bitcoin

Tether to Launch USDT Natively on Bitcoin

Tether has announced that it will launch its stablecoin USDT natively on Bitcoin through the recently launched RGB Protocol. Tether, which is the largest stablecoin issuer, shared this in its blog post in August, marking a breakthrough for tokenized assets on Bitcoin. USDT would become the first-ever native stablecoin on the Bitcoin network, leveraging RGB technology to enable the trading of the dollar-pegged token. USDT Comes Natively to Bitcoin The entire architecture of the Bitcoin blockchain has ensured that tokenized assets do not exist natively on the “most secure and decentralized network.” Nonetheless, RGB aims to address this with its next-generational technology. The protocol launched on the Bitcoin mainnet in mid-July with its 0.11.1 release, ushering in compatibility for smart contracts and asset issuance systems. It came with tokenization tools that allow users to create and send digital assets on the Bitcoin and Lightning Networks. Now, Tether is leveraging this protocol to launch USDT natively on the Bitcoin blockchain. This ensures that users can transact the stablecoin directly on the network, bringing lightweight payments to the billions of users who use it. Notably, the technology enables users to hold and move Bitcoin and USDT through the same wallet while maintaining their lightweight and confidential nature. The transactions are processed off-chain, allowing users to enjoy the same privacy and decentralization benefits associated with the Bitcoin network. The Native Smart Contract Functions that Bitcoin Deserves Reacting to the development, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino insisted that Bitcoin is finally getting the stablecoin feel that it deserves. He added that USDT would gain a “new pathway with Bitcoin” through the RGB Protocol, reestablishing its long-standing sentiment that the leading cryptocurrency should offer more to users beyond its reputation as a store of value. Moreover, this is just one of the broader efforts to roll out DeFi for Bitcoin users. Industry leaders have tipped this push to unlock trillions of dollars in liquidity domiciled on the Bitcoin network to other chains, boosting transactional activities and TVL of all involved parties. Remarkably, Ardoino earlier teased the prospect of USDT’s availability on the Bitcoin network in April, calling it a return to its natural habitat. He confirmed that the stablecoin will launch on the Bitcoin Lightning Network during the interview, powered by Taproot Assets. Meanwhile, with RGB, users can do more. The protocol also allows users to hold and move non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and custom tokens within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
