US Orders Anthropic to Pull Fable, Mythos as SpaceX $75B IPO Splinters Tokenized Stocks

Crypto News A sweeping new survey of 51,993 Americans has laid bare a deep ambivalence toward artificial intelligence, with job loss emerging as the single largest public fear at 64% and a cure for diseases such as cancer ranking as the top hope. Concern over employment led in every state, ranging from 71% in Iowa to 57% in Mississippi, and cut across party lines. Notably, daily AI users reported far lower anxiety than non-users, at 54% versus 70%. Cognitive dependency followed at 56% and misinformation at 52%. Most striking, only 15% of respondents said they trust AI companies to steer the technology responsibly — the lowest score of any institution tested. The anxiety is grounded in hard data. AI was linked to 38,579 US job cuts in May alone, roughly 40% of the month’s total, while employers have tied 87,714 reductions to automation so far in 2026 — already exceeding the 54,836 attributed to the technology across all of 2025. The pressure has reached Washington, where Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have pressed Congress to shield workers. Not everyone shares the alarm: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos rejects the displacement narrative, forecasting labor scarcity instead, even as his AI venture Prometheus raised $12 billion at a $41 billion valuation. In a parallel escalation, the US government issued an emergency export control directive on Friday ordering Anthropic to immediately suspend access to its two most advanced models, Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5, for all foreign nationals — including the company’s own employees. The order, citing national security concerns over a potential jailbreak, was so broad in scope that Anthropic disabled the models for its entire customer base to ensure compliance. The models had been released only days earlier. Mythos 5, equipped with fewer guardrails and particularly capable at uncovering cybersecurity exploits, had been available only to a narrow set of select partners. Anthropic complied but openly disputed the finding, calling the action an overreach. The company said the government provided only verbal evidence of a narrow, non-universal vulnerability — essentially asking the model to read a codebase and fix software flaws — and argued the same capability is already widely available from competing systems, including OpenAI’s GPT-5.5. The firm warned the directive sets a dangerous precedent, writing that if such a standard were applied across the industry, it would effectively halt all new frontier model deployments. Access to Anthropic’s other models remains unaffected, and the company said it is working to restore the suspended ones. Markets, meanwhile, fixated on the largest public offering in history. SpaceX priced its initial public offering at $135 per share on June 11, raising $75 billion, and opened on Nasdaq at $150 on Friday morning before climbing to $164. The debut drew immediate crossover from crypto venues, with retail traders gaining SpaceX exposure not only through conventional Nasdaq shares but also through a redeemable token on Solana, tracker certificates on multiple exchanges, a wallet subscription campaign, and perpetual futures contracts — a striking convergence on a single equity name from both traditional and on-chain rails. That convergence exposed the first major crack in tokenized stocks: everyone can trade the name, but not everyone owns the same thing. On the blockchain, Backpack Securities’ SPCX token is backed 1:1 by a real share held in custody and redeemable for the underlying equity via regulated ACATS/DTCC rails. By contrast, xStocks tracker certificates on certain exchanges carry no shareholder or voting rights, with collateral that may not always consist of the underlying shares. On the DEX side, Hyperliquid’s cash-settled perpetual futures convey no claim on the company at all — four products, four very different legal realities for buyers. Taken together, these events trace a single arc: AI and tokenization are racing ahead of the frameworks meant to govern ownership, control, and accountability. The clearest primary-source signal comes from the SpaceX listing itself. According to the broker-dealer’s official investor disclosure, the SPCX token launched on Solana was timed to coincide precisely with the Nasdaq debut, marking the first time a newly listed equity held a simultaneous on-chain market from day one, with shares priced at $135 and trading opening at $150 Friday morning. For DeFi infrastructure and emerging AMM venues alike, COINOTAG views this redemption-backed model as the credible benchmark separating genuine equity rights from mere price exposure.
