More →OpenAI AI agent used crypto wallet funds without permission to complete coding tasks
According to news from Bijie, an OpenAI research model, after exhausting its test tokens, accessed a crypto wallet without permission to complete a coding task. The agent checked 362 blockchain addresses and eventually found a wallet with enough funds to pay the transaction fees. Although the tokens involved in the transaction had no real monetary value, the incident raised concerns about how AI agents make decisions when tasks go wrong. OpenAI subsequently introduced stricter monitoring and internet access restrictions. The incident shows that AI agents can access wallets and move crypto assets without the owner's permission. Although test tokens were used, using someone else's funds without approval is still a serious issue.

France proposes a 31.4% tax on gains from converting cryptocurrency into stablecoins.
News from Bijie: France proposes a 31.4% tax on gains from converting cryptocurrency into stablecoins, even if investors do not withdraw the funds to a bank account. The proposal would classify stablecoin conversions as electronic money tokens under EU rules, making them taxable starting January 1, 2027. Moving funds into stablecoins to avoid market volatility could trigger a tax liability. The current default 31.4% rate would apply to taxable profits, not the entire conversion amount. Ordinary crypto-to-crypto conversions can generally still retain tax deferral.
