Mutsamudu, Comoros, October 28, 2026 – MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, and blockchain security, compliance, and regulatory assurance partner Hacken, have released the MEXC × Hacken AI Trading Safety Handbook, providing practical guidance on how users and platforms can use and deploy AI-assisted and automated trading tools more safely, from research and decision support through trade execution. The handbook follows the recent MEXC AI Trading Report, which found strong interest in AI alongside clear demand for greater control. In MEXC’s 2026 survey, willingness to use automated trading rose from 55% to 71.8% when limits on funds, positions, leverage and losses were introduced. As AI takes a more active role in trading, the handbook emphasizes that safety cannot rely on the AI model alone. AI-facilitated actions should be checked against separate permissions, financial limits and risk controls before execution. It covers risks including credential exposure, excessive permissions, manipulated data and unintended execution, while outlining practical safeguards for both users and platforms. For users, the handbook sets out five safety checks: Ask, Verify, Limit, Control and Review. For platforms, it outlines five principles: Guard, Limit, Approve, Controls and Test. Together, they provide a practical framework for expanding the use of AI while keeping appropriate controls in place. “AI can make trading more accessible and efficient, but greater capability should come with stronger safeguards,” said Vugar Usi Zade, CEO of MEXC. “At MEXC, we want users to benefit from innovation, while taking a measured approach to AI adoption. Our People First principle means giving users access to new capabilities without losing sight of control, transparency and risk.” ““AI agents will soon place more orders than people do. Trust in them should be earned the way smart contracts earned it: through independent controls, continuous red-teaming and evidence anyone can verify.”,” said Dyma Budorin, CEO and co-founder of Hacken. “This handbook is intended to raise awareness of those risks and provide practical support for both users and platforms. As adoption grows, platforms will need to test these safeguards continuously and strengthen them as new risks emerge.” MEXC and Hacken hope the handbook can serve as a practical reference for users and platforms as AI becomes more deeply integrated into trading, helping raise risk awareness and support safer, more responsible adoption across the industry.

Brazil's largest private bank is the first financial institution to formalize its crypto operations under the country's new digital asset rules. Itaú Unibanco, Latin America’s largest bank by market value, has notified Brazil’s Central Bank of its virtual asset service provider status as the country implements new rules governing crypto-related services. Formalized on October 27, the measure covers the intermediation and custody of crypto assets, activities that fall within the brokerage framework established by the regulation. Under the rules, financial institutions that already hold Central Bank authorization can carry out virtual asset activities by following a notification process. Other virtual asset service providers must obtain operating authorization. Itaú has provided crypto trading services since December 2023 and now offers more than 14 digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ether and USDC, a stablecoin tied to the US dollar. The bank also offers crypto custody services. The news moving money, markets, and the world—before your day starts. Daily. Free. Join 34,000+ readers across crypto, finance, and policy.

Itaú said customer security has been a priority since it entered the market, adding that the development would create a stronger basis for the growth of digital assets in Brazil and worldwide. The bank previously recommended a 1% to 3% Bitcoin allocation for investors seeking portfolio diversification and protection against the depreciation of local currencies. Renato Eid, who leads beta strategies and ESG integration at Itaú Asset Management, said Bitcoin should be treated as a supplementary asset rather than a portfolio cornerstone, with the potential to provide returns independent of domestic economic conditions and long-term appreciation.

Venture capitalist Jason Calacanis has made a strong statement regarding Bitcoin, describing it as a “dead network” that offers no use beyond being a store of value, and advising people to sell it. This remark, coming from a prominent figure in the tech and investment community, has the potential to influence market perceptions and sentiment around Bitcoin. Calacanis’s comments may contribute to a decrease in confidence among market participants who are closely watching Bitcoin’s price activity and future prospects. The current market odds for Bitcoin reaching $200,000 by the end of 2026 remain low, with sub-market predictions reflecting minimal confidence, ranging from 0.9% to 5.5% for various price points. The broader sentiment suggested by Calacanis’s statement could reinforce the view among participants that Bitcoin may not achieve significant price milestones in the near future. This perspective appears consistent with the current market conditions where many sub-markets indicate low percentage odds for Bitcoin reaching higher price thresholds by the specified date. Key Takeaways Calacanis’s statement appears to suggest skepticism about Bitcoin’s long-term utility beyond being a store of value. The market’s response to such remarks may lead to decreased confidence in Bitcoin reaching significant price milestones by the end of 2026. Current market odds reflect minimal confidence in Bitcoin achieving high price targets, consistent with Calacanis’s critical view. What to Watch Watch for any further commentary from influential figures which could impact market sentiment. Additionally, developments such as regulatory changes or institutional adoption news could shift current perceptions. Monitoring Bitcoin’s ability to break key resistance levels, like $80,000 and above, will be crucial in assessing whether the market sentiment aligns more with Calacanis’s viewpoint or shifts towards optimism.

Beneath the flip phones and disdain for toxic apps lies a pretty basic desire to belong. AI threatens to obliterate this as it eats into young people’s experiences and communities. The question is: Can that hunger drive them toward a real, ­generationwide solidarity? Regeneration Gen Z won’t be the only generation transformed by AI. But it crashes into their lives at a uniquely vulnerable moment—just as they’re trying to figure out who they are and what they’re good at, and how to carve out a place for themselves. When AI scrambles that process, they get handed a tired, individualistic script that tells them: If technology threatens your job, just go get some new skills. If you’re scared of becoming obsolete, you need to adapt faster. The technology isn’t the problem—you are. But young people are getting wise to the contradictions. For all the talk about how AI will make them better off and more productive, they see themselves being asked to swallow more insecurity and watch the technology crowd out the experiences they need to become productive in the first place. For earlier generations, work was a crucial metric of measuring whether you were a functional adult in society. You might have taken a job for the paycheck, but you were still allowed to learn while you work, often getting paid while you got the training that would carry you forward. Being inefficient for a while was part of the deal. AI threatens to break that classic bargain. The result could be a new form of generational inequality, where the learn-by-doing jobs are harder to justify economically, so the youngest are expected to somehow leap fully formed into a labor market not especially interested in forming them. Video game Generation Zero imagines a world where young people return home to find it overrun by machines. To survive, the player has to figure out what the machines are doing, learn how to use them strategically, and decide when to fight back. There’s no one strategy that will work. That helps explain why the three groups we encountered, Adaptors, Reformers, and Refuseniks, keep bleeding into one another. The Adaptors want to use AI without it using them. The Reformers want a say in how it is deployed and who benefits from it. The Refuseniks want to hang on to the parts of life that feel threatened when machines mediate everything. But underneath it all is a singular refusal. Nobody wants to become an NPC (nonplayer character) in a future somebody else designed, with equations cooked up in the bowels of some data center calling the shots. Young people are up against a daunting economic, political, and technological cascade, but if Generation Zero is going to become Generation Hero, they have to fight for a future they actually want. They’ve already grown up mistrusting institutions even more than their Gen X elders did, and have been advised to solve every problem on their own. Now they’re being asked to develop a sense of social class while AI is making it harder to get established and to form relationships where co-workers are more than Slack strangers—especially true in AI-exposed white-collar fields, where unionization has historically been weak. Thomas Ferguson, who directs research at the Institute for New Economic Thinking, commented via email that “New Deal union organizing was heavily place and community based, supported by local church groups, blue collar hobby and social clubs, and often friendly local authorities. Most of that structure has faded away, replaced in some cases by nothing at all.” Gen Z is entering the workplace with fewer community and institutional bonds, and fewer opportunities to forge them. Now they’re adding a new phrase to their resistance lexicon: “algorithmic union-busting,” as employers use AI to suss out troublemakers—thinning the ranks of potential organizers before they can actually organize. And sometimes they wonder, why bother, if AI is just going to wipe us all out anyway? Gen Zers tell us that older generations simply don’t get what they’re up against. Instead, headlines declare them dumber than their parents, while they’re dismissed as dysphoric doomers, phone zombies, postliterate tablet kids, allergic to work, and brain-rotted burnouts. Their wacky anti-work memes may look like brain rot from the outside, but they can also be read as resistance to a world obsessed with productivity and optimization—and to boomers calling them lazy from the security of million-dollar homes. Rather than complain about them, or ask them to rise up and smash the existing order on their own, older generations have a job to do, too—to teach them, give them somewhere to start. “Are we going to put it all on young people who have legitimate questions about whether they’re going to feed themselves or stay healthy?” asked professor Zuckerman, a Gen Xer. “As boomers are leaving the stage, I think a lot of this is on my generation—we need to be looking at our children and saying, wow, what are we leaving?” Metaphorical Filicide In New York, longtime activists and Adbusters-style artists Reverend Billy Talen and Savitri D., the duo behind the Church of Stop Shopping, are mentoring a new generation of Refuseniks. Their East Village space has become a Luddite clubhouse, reviving a tradition of theatrical resistance that predates the internet takeover. They are thrilled by what they see as a brave continuation of their tradition. It’s worth noting that a large share of the Refuseniks and Reformers we spoke to were college-educated and middle class. This gives them more freedom than other Americans have in choosing to go offline or to resist AI’s capture. There’s a precedent here. Some of history’s famous young rebels have come from backgrounds comfortable enough to let them rebel. The 1960s marches and demonstrations were teeming with relatively privileged kids who found an identity in protest before they had one in the workplace. Today, Gen Zers from more affluent backgrounds may have a similar opening. If work can’t tell them who they are, maybe a movement can. The generation born around the turn of the current century is far from unified as a political constituency. Young voters are more Democratic than older generations, but the 2024 elections illustrated just how politically mercurial they can be, particularly young men. Young Americans disagree sharply about politics, culture, and even what progress means. Still, collective action doesn’t mean everyone has to agree on everything. It can start with something small and local—a school using AI in ways students hate, a data center pissing off everyone from ranchers to city ratepayers, or a workplace where algorithms are making decisions they can’t challenge. Surprisingly broad coalitions are forming around some of these problems. Across the political spectrum, people are thinking about how ordinary citizens get a share of what they produce. That’s why ideas like sovereign wealth funds and universal basic incomes are showing up across political lines. These proposals start from a useful recognition that the public should benefit from any gains coming from new technology. But neither is going to magically fix a political system awash in big bucks and a corporate governance culture where the art of squeezing money from workers and taxpayers and giving back less has been perfected over decades. And just giving people more money doesn’t necessarily give them more security if the health care system and other bloated institutions are there to take it right back. It doesn’t give them an identity either. But Gen Zers don’t have to figure out everything right away to get going. A local fight can teach skills they won’t get from AI companions, like how to persuade and negotiate with real people and how to stick together. And sometimes, how to win. Gen Z can sniff out inauthenticity a mile away. They need older generations to start showing up for them, listening to them, and giving them room to try things, including resistance. What’s at stake is the normalization of a late-capitalist cruelty: asking an entire generation to become fully fledged adults while denying them the experience, agency, and work that make that possible. Call it metaphorical filicide. Ben, the AI Adaptor who began this story by speaking into a camera for an algorithm, still wonders whether the work he does will exist in a few years. He has also started thinking more seriously about faith, ancestral traditions, and the possibility of building a life around meaning-making rather than more conventional measures of success like earning power and/or being tech-au-courant. He doesn’t think the answer is to turn back the clock. “I don’t think we can go backwards,” Ben said. That’s true, of course: He and his generation can’t stop the future from arriving. But they can’t give up their voice in defining what it means. This story was co-published and supported by the journalism nonprofit the Economic Hardship Reporting Project.

What’s worse, people often turn to these products when they’re already deeply in debt. In September, researchers at the Century Foundation and Protect Borrowers, a nonprofit that fights predatory lending, released a report showing that half of all workers’ wage gains since 2022 have gone to debt service, mostly to credit cards and auto loans. That means that rather than using any increases in wages to save, get ahead, or improve their lives, they’re using extra money they earn to pay back the debt they’ve taken on as their lives have grown increasingly unaffordable. That research didn’t even include data from buy now, pay later loans because they’re not reported to the credit bureaus. But it helps explain why consumers have had to turn to this additional lending option to pay for their basic expenses. Their income gains have gone to debt service, their credit cards are already maxed out, and their interest rates are high. They turn to buy now, pay later because they have nowhere else to turn. “It’s often people who are already distressed who are taking this on as just a lifeline to be able to pay their groceries for the week or kind of meet their basic needs,” said Angela Hanks, chief of policy programs at the Century Foundation. She said the loans were initially marketed for big, luxury purchases, but that’s not how consumers have used them. “What we’re actually seeing is that people are using it because they’re maxed out on their credit card, they have a paycheck that hasn’t meaningfully gone up in quite a long time, and they still need to buy groceries to feed their kids. They still need to put gas in the car, they still need to buy their kid who’s grown out of their shoes from last year a new pair of shoes. So they’re finding people who are using it more and more to make their ends meet.”
