Tokens $COAI and $VVV surge after Claude Fable 5 is blocked in the US.
- Unpermitted AI gains prominence after restrictions in the US.
- VVV token sparks debate over AI censorship.
- MOR rises as decentralized projects advance.
The US government's decision to restrict access to Anthropic's latest models provoked an immediate reaction in the market linked to decentralized artificial intelligence. Venice's VVV and Morpheus' MOR tokens saw strong price increases following the measure, while proponents of so-called "permissionless AI" pointed to the episode as an example of the limitations of centralized platforms.
Over the past 24 hours, the VVV token has accumulated a gain of nearly 15%, reaching US$16,42 and even touching US$17,80 during that period. Trading volume also showed significant growth, approaching US$130 million.
MOR, the token associated with the Morpheus network, advanced approximately 21%, reaching US$2,28. Although trading volume remained below US$300, the movement caught the attention of industry participants who follow projects focused on decentralized AI. Another token that rose was ChainOpera AI $COAI, which is trading near US$0,607, up 64.2% in the last 24 hours.
The move came after Anthropic reported receiving a federal directive ordering the suspension of access to its recently released Fable 5 and Mythos 5 games for foreign nationals. According to the company, the order required blocking access to the games for all customers while the situation is reviewed, keeping other services active.
The company launched Fable 5 On June 9th, it was released as the first public model in the Mythos line. The system was made available with integrated protection mechanisms due to its ability to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in software.
According to Anthropic, the authorities' concern relates to a possible method capable of circumventing these protections. The company classified the issue as a regulatory misunderstanding and stated that it is working to restore access.
The case gained relevance because Mythos models demonstrated high performance in tasks related to cybersecurity. At a time of increasing integration between artificial intelligence and blockchain, tools of this type are being used to accelerate code audits and vulnerability identification.
Among supporters of decentralized AI, the reaction was immediate. The official Morpheus account posted that decentralized AI “has never been better,” thanked Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for the “free publicity,” and offered “condolences” to users affected by the outage, attributing the situation to “excessive government intervention.”
Venice founder Erik Voorhees also linked the episode to the project's purpose. Commenting on discussions about potential citizenship requirements for accessing advanced AI models, he stated: "There's a reason we built Venice."
Venice operates with a focus on privacy and uses open-source models, allowing access through the locking of VVV tokens. Morpheus, on the other hand, rewards participants who contribute computing resources, software development, and capital to the network, using the MOR token as an incentive mechanism.
While attempting to overturn the federal ruling, Anthropic has stated that it intends to release further information about the case in the coming days, keeping the market attentive to developments that may influence the future of artificial intelligence and decentralized projects related to the sector.
