U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that the United States and Iran may require “a few more days” to reach an agreement to end the war between the two countries.
“The president’s expressed his desire to make [a deal] — he’s either going to make a good deal or no deal,”— Rubio told. “But that may take a little while, I mean, a few more days.”
“The straits need to be open, unimpeded, without tolls,” — Rubio said. “And obviously that needs to happen immediately as soon as anything’s agreed to.”

XRP Ledger is slated to implement a major maintenance and bug-fixing upgrade Wednesday.
The upgrade, called the fixCleanup3_1_3 amendment, patches the following key bugs and inefficiencies that have built up over time.
On the XRP Ledger, people create and trade non-fungible tokens, or digital collectible and gaming items. When a user lists an NFT for sale, it creates an "offer" on the network.
The XRP Ledger offers "Permissioned Domains," or controlled environments where only approved accounts can access specific assets, order books, or services and change their special settings.
The XRP Ledger has "Vaults," which are secure storage containers for tokens. When you withdraw tokens from a vault to send them to another account, the receiving account has a limit on how many tokens it can accept, called a "trust line limit."
The impending fix ensures that when a loan's status changes, all the connected ledger entries update properly.
If someone tries to overpay a loan that doesn’t allow overpayments, the system now returns a clear “no permission” error (tecNO_PERMISSION) instead of a generic invalid flag. This makes the rejection cleaner and easier for apps and users to understand.

Сraig Swan: "Bermuda's ambitions to become the world’s first economy to go fully onchain, a move will create amazing new opportunities for the country's citizens."
“We carried out a huge event in Bermuda to educate our citizens on how to set up their crypto wallet, and we airdropped $100 in Circle’s stablecoin USDC, and showed them how to use it for purchases, transfer or send it to friends and family or convert it and even offramp it into fiat if they chose to,” — Swan said.
The experiment was designed to onboard local vendors and the public simultaneously, Swan added. Attendees were able to immediately test the ecosystem at an on-site marketplace, using their newly minted stablecoins to purchase goods, while payment processors like MoneyGram provided immediate conversion back into paper currency.
“We are starting at a high-volume area," — Swan explained. "Starting with the Department of Motor Vehicles, because most people have a car or licenses. We are going to cast that across the government itself."

In an authoritative papal document known as an encyclical — Leo warned AI could exacerbate inequality, deepen social fragmentation and weaken moral responsibility if not constrained by ethical limits and democratic oversight. The pontiff called on countries to intervene and regulate AI to “safeguard humanity,” and urged global leaders to act before the technology outruns political control.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani released a wide-ranging housing plan Tuesday that he said will usher in the “largest municipal housing transformation this country has ever seen.”
While the plan lays out ambitious targets that would surpass past mayors if achieved — including the planned creation and preservation of a combined 400,000 affordable homes over a decade — it also illustrates how Mamdani is not reinventing the wheel on many housing issues, but rather leaning into or expanding policies pursued by his predecessors.

It is critically important that the CFTC’s exclusive authority over Prediction Markets is maintained, and that they will thrive. Under my leadership, we are setting “rules of the road” that are the Gold Standard for the States.
Likewise, and even more importantly, where we are currently the Crypto (Bitcoin, etc.) Capital of the World, other Countries are trying diligently to replace us in that capacity, but we won’t let that happen. It is a major Industry, and we must protect it.

A new draft amendment, “AMM Swappable Curves,” would upgrade the XRP Ledger’s automated market maker by adding three new curve types — constant product, concentrated liquidity and StableSwap — with a programmable Smart AMM to follow.
The change is designed to let liquidity providers choose how their pools price assets, improving capital efficiency for both volatile pairs and near-1:1 assets like stablecoins, while leaving existing pools on the current constant product model.
