"Europe is assuming a greater and fairer share of the task of providing for its conventional defense, and from that there will be no going back, nor should there be. This is a move from unhealthy codependence to a transatlantic alliance grounded in true partnership," — Mark Rutte said.

Jeff Thornburg helped turn a government research project into SpaceX’s most powerful rocket engine. Now, he’s trying to do the same thing at his startup Portal Space Systems, which is taking an idea set aside by NASA and turning it into high-powered propulsion for the next generation of spacecraft.
The company is developing a technology called solar thermal propulsion. Today’s standard satellite engines either burn chemical fuel or convert the sun’s energy to electricity, using that to power efficient but low-powered thrusters. Portal’s engines would instead concentrate the heat of the sun, using that to heat propellant and move the spacecraft along at high speed.
The technology has been the subject of investigation in government research labs since the 1960s, most recently as a concept for sending a probe into interstellar space, but has yet to make it into orbit. Thornburg, along with co-founders Ian Vorbach and Prashaanth Ravindran, plans to change that in the next two years.

Banks, asset managers, and financial services companies want to use blockchain. Yet, many haven't been able to make the leap yet. Why?
It’s not because the technology doesn't work. It’s because the technology wasn't built for how they actually operate.
➠ Institutions need privacy and control to move onchain.
On Stellar, asset issuers can access and configure these controls that have been built into the protocol since its early days — native features. They're actually used by companies like PayPal, who conducted a large-scale onchain clawback operation in early 2026, demonstrating active use of the compliance functionality.
➠ But compliance isn't just about what you can do with assets — it's about how you keep them separated.
On Stellar, different assets on the same network can operate under different compliance regimes. Transactions cost less than a penny, so creating that segregation is simple. The tech is there.
➠ What's immutable on the blockchain is the history. 📜
"The long-term winners won't be the chains that control everything from the top down. They'll be the open networks where issuers, regulators, and validators set the rules together," — said said Denelle Dixon, CEO and Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation.

Tehran has signaled that payments in digital currency should form part of any toll system for vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz — tokens cannot be easily confiscated under sanctions.
“There are reports that Iran is charging fees to tankers going through the Hormuz Strait,” — Donald Trump warned Iran against charging tolls on vessels. “They better not be and, if they are, they better stop now!”

Instagram is expanding its revamped Teen Accounts, inspired by 13+ movie ratings criteria and parent feedback — teens will see content on Instagram that’s similar to what they’d see in an age-appropriate movie by default. There's also a new setting called “Limited Content” that has stricter content filters. The company would show less content with themes like extreme violence, sexual nudity, and graphic drug use.
Users now have the option to edit comments, which is a long-awaited fix for anyone who’s ever had to delete and re-post a comment just to fix a typo. But there's only 15-minute window after posting to make changes.

The biggest challenge for institutions moving to blockchain isn't efficiency — it's privacy. How do you leverage a public ledger without exposing client data or competitive strategies to the world?
In this episode Denelle Dixon and the Stellar Development Foundation’s Chief Product Officer, Tomer Weller, unpack the team’s strategy for configurable privacy.
They explore why privacy and openness don’t have to be a trade-off and dive into the cutting-edge technology making private institutional payments a reality in 2026, including:
➠ Confidential Tokens vs. Privacy Pools: Understanding the different cryptographic models for securing balances and transactions.
➠ The Power of Zero-Knowledge (ZK): How ZK proofs allow for verifiable computation without revealing sensitive underlying data.
➠ A "Menu" of Compliance: How configurable privacy provides institutions with the administrative controls needed to satisfy regulators.
➠ Live Tools on Stellar: A look at the new building blocks and partnerships (like Nethermind and OpenZeppelin) that are already open-sourcing privacy solutions on the network.

🕵🏼♂️ Florida AG to probe OpenAI, alleging possible connection to FSU shooting
State Attorney General James Uthmeier said his office will investigate OpenAI for its alleged harm to minors, potential to threaten national security, and its possible link to a shooting that took place at Florida State University last year.
On the day of the FSU shooting last April, the suspect allegedly asked ChatGPT how the country would react to a shooting at FSU, and what time it would be busiest at the FSU student union. These messages could potentially be used as evidence against the suspect in an October trial about the shooting.

Intel Corporation and Google announced a multiyear collaboration to advance the next generation of AI and cloud infrastructure. Google Cloud will use Intel’s Xeon processors, including Intel’s latest Xeon 6 chips, for AI, cloud, and inference tasks. The companies will also expand the co-development of custom infrastructure processing units (IPUs), which help accelerate and manage data center tasks by offloading them from CPUs.

For XRP holders, a nuanced answer, based on expert takes, is that XRP’s architecture is better positioned than Bitcoin's. XRP is the digital token operating on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), which is a open-source, decentralized blockchain.
The quantum vulnerability is that a sufficiently powerful machine running the so-called Shor’s algorithm could theoretically reverse-engineer your private key from the exposed public key, draining your funds. Typically, your public key is exposed to the network when you send a transaction, and when you receive funds, only your address is on-chain.
This week, XRP Ledger’s validator Vet, ran a quantum vulnerability audit of the entire ledger and found that around 300,000 XRP accounts holding 2.4 billion XRP have never sent any funds. They have so far received only funds, meaning their public keys have never been exposed to the network.
"The XRP Ledger is account based and allows for signing key rotation. So you can rotate keys that sign on behalf of an account without switching the account. This is obviously not a perfect solution at all and actual quantum resistant algorithms will eventuell be adopted," — Vet said on X.
"Time locks aren't hash based either, you just can't get in until that time has passed (at least not via quantum - you'd need some other bug for that). Yeah that's true, can't stop a blackholing - but the attacker is less incentivized to do that because they don't get the funds," — Vadari said.

Xi called for cooperation and peace. Cheng, the first head of Taiwan’s Beijing-friendly Kuomintang to visit China in a decade, echoed the message, saying both sides should seek to prevent war and expressed hope that the Taiwan Strait separating the two governments won’t become a “chessboard for external interference.”
“The world today is far from tranquil, and peace is all the more precious. Compatriots on both sides of the strait are Chinese, one family, and the desire for peace, development, exchanges and cooperation is a shared aspiration,” — Xi told Kuomintang Chairperson Cheng Li-wun.🤝
