YouTuber PewDiePie stated in his latest video that his account was banned twice by OpenAI while training the small local AI model Ajax. He mentioned that he originally hoped to distill reasoning tokens from OpenAI's flagship model GPT-5.6 Sol, released on July 9, and find a study that utilized OpenAI's own API to crack encrypted reasoning content. He claimed that he did not actually crack OpenAI but was still banned, and after appealing, his account was restored after some time.After the account was restored, he used Sol again to generate seed data and was subsequently banned for the second time. OpenAI's terms of service prohibit the development of competing models using its outputs. Ajax is a 9 billion parameter model built on Alibaba's open-source model Qwen 3.5, which will run in PewDiePie's free self-hosted AI application Odysseus launched in June, and it is not yet available for download.To prevent Ajax from being censored, he used the open-source tool Heretic to remove the model's built-in refusal mechanism, a technique known as abliteration. He stated that Ajax suffered a bit of brain damage as a result, but it has about a 90% success rate in tasks like organizing the inbox and browsing the web, and he continues to train it using the GRPO method. He mentioned that when choosing which refusal behaviors to remove, he draws the line at harming others or harming himself.

Bitcoin Magazine reported that the Chief Business Officer of the cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase stated that the company is working with advisors from six globally systemically important banks to increase exposure to Bitcoin.Coinbase Chief Business Officer: The company views this as an opportunity to expand the market and provide individuals with more ways to access Bitcoin. Globally systemically important banks are large banks identified by the Financial Stability Board that have a significant impact on the global financial system.

The cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase has obtained a Financial Services License (FSP) issued by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). This license allows it to arrange investment transactions and provide custody for tokenized securities. Coinbase describes this license as the regulatory foundation for its international tokenization hub and the first of its two major non-U.S. institutional businesses established in the UAE, the other being its derivatives business in Dubai.According to the scope of the license, the FSP covers the arrangement and custody of tokenized stocks fully backed by underlying shares. Holders of digital securities can gain economic exposure such as dividends, while voting rights and redemption rights are subject to the conditions outlined in each prospectus. Coinbase states that investors only need a crypto wallet to trade, and secondary transfers do not require a brokerage account or banking relationship, but redeeming profits for fiat currency still requires a bank or brokerage account.Brett Tejpaul, Co-President of Coinbase Institutional: Currently, there is no major financial center that has established a framework that simultaneously regards tokenized stocks as securities, blockchain-native tokens, and composable DeFi assets. Arvind Ramamurthy, Chief Market Development Officer of ADGM, stated that the Coinbase hub reflects the center's progressive, robust, and internationally aligned regulatory framework. The FSRA issued its first virtual asset rules in 2018, which include protective measures such as sanctions screening and the ability to freeze or seize assets at the wallet level. ADGM applies English common law, and the FSRA's authority differs from that of the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority; registered entities do not automatically obtain a passport in other Gulf Cooperation Council jurisdictions.

The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) filed a lawsuit against the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in federal court on Friday, accusing it of exceeding its statutory authority when issuing national trust bank charters to cryptocurrency companies. The ICBA stated that the OCC is implementing "broad new powers not authorized by the National Bank Act," allowing these companies to enter the U.S. banking system without being subject to the same level of regulatory oversight as community banks, putting small banks at a "serious competitive disadvantage."The ICBA is one of the largest banking advocacy organizations in the United States, primarily representing small institutions. Last month, the organization strongly opposed the Digital Asset Market Structure Bill, which failed to advance in the U.S. Senate, arguing that its stablecoin provisions did not protect community banks from direct competition for deposit accounts. ICBA President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey stated that Congress did not establish the national trust charter to provide a "backdoor" for cryptocurrency companies seeking to enter the banking system with the credibility of a federal bank charter, as these companies do not bear the same obligations regarding capital, liquidity, regulation, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance requirements. An OCC spokesperson responded to CoinDesk that the agency does not comment on ongoing litigation.Recently, the OCC has continued to issue trust charters to cryptocurrency companies, but these companies' business models differ from those of typical community banks and do not offer cash deposit accounts that require FDIC insurance. Approved institutions include cryptocurrency banks Protego and Erebor, as well as existing cryptocurrency firms like Coinbase, Circle, and Crypto.com.
