General Motors Co. (GM) is announcing its own plans for an energy-storage system (ESS). In partnership with startup Peak Energy, GM is developing an entirely new sodium-ion battery chemistry tailored for grid-scale deployments.
โThe way weโre getting into the market is the easy way, through ESS,โ โ Kurt Kelty, vice president of battery and sustainability at GM, said. โThe performance characteristics are just what is needed in that market.โ
GM and Peak Energy plan to develop batteries that can store energy on the grid during off-peak hours. GM is also taking steps to allow more of its EVs that are in customer hands today to store energy for the grid when plugged in at home,

As AI agents begin transacting on behalf of businesses, payments need more than speed. Mastercard developed a new way to pay for these services: payments, some only fractions of a cent, to be completed quickly, programmatically and securely.
Initial participants and supporters include: Aave Labs, Adyen, Alchemy, Anchorage Digital, Ant International, Basis Theory, BVNK, Catena, Checkout, Cloudflare, Coinbase, Coinflow, Crossmint, Getnet by Santander, Global Payments, Lovable Labs Incorporated,Mastercard Merchant Cloud, MoonPay, Nevermined, OKX, PayOS, Polygon, Rain, RippleX, Sapiom, Skyfire, Solana Foundation, Stripe, t54 Labs, Tempo, Turnkey and Utila.
โXRPL and RLUSD are built so enterprises can let agents transact at machine speed within rules the chain itself enforces, with settlement in seconds, predictable costs, programmable compliance, and a full audit trail, so agents can only ever do what they are authorized to do," โ said Markus Infanger, senior vice president of RippleX.
โMastercard's move toward regulated stablecoin settlement on-chain is an important signal that this is evolving from an emerging capability into an enterprise standard," โ he added.

The Decart research team unveiled a new world model Oasis 3 capable of simulating hours of photorealistic driving across different road scenarios. The system can reproduce complex visual and dynamic aspects of control, including realistic scenes, weather conditions, and traffic flows.
The startup is initially targeting autonomous vehicle companies that need to simulate rare driving scenarios at scale, and plans to expand into robotics and other physical AI applications. By offering API access from day one, Decart is trying to build a developer ecosystem around world models much like how OpenAI did with language models.
โItโs going to be the first usable world model that people can actually program on top of,โ โ Dean Leitersdorf, CEO of Decart, said. โI think thereโs going to be an entire developer community that emerges on top of this.โ

The results are legible in the numbers.
Stellarโs RWA ecosystem has surpassed $2 billion in tokenized asset value, a quadrupling in roughly a year, while the broader market grew from $6 billion to over $31 billion between early 2025 and mid-2026. Issuers found their footing.
What SEP-40 Actually Solves
๐ SEP-40 is Stellarโs standard interface for oracle consumers, a specification that defines how smart contracts request price data, regardless of which oracle provides it.
RedStone has implemented the SEP-40 oracle standard on Stellar, providing a unified, high-frequency pricing interface for on-chain RWA assets across the ecosystem.
๐ RedStone is the data layer for institutional DeFi, delivering secure, low-latency price feeds for digital assets, RWAs, stablecoins, LSTs, LRTs, and Bitcoin LSTs across 110+ chains.
A protocol using SEP-40-compliant data can switch oracle providers without changing its own logic. The interface defines how feeds show their base asset, supported assets, decimal precision, and resolution. Consumer contracts request prices via last price, point-in-time price, or multi-record price calls for TWAP calculations. Each PriceData record includes a timestamp for staleness checks on the consumer side.
RedStoneโs SEP-40 implementation delivers the pricing layer by offering a standard, interoperable, high-frequency data infrastructure that works across all protocols in the Stellar ecosystem without needing custom adapters.
The RWA pipeline on Stellar has quadrupled over the past year. The infrastructure that turns issued assets into usable DeFi collateral is now live.

Canadian Identity and Culture Minister Marc Miller introduced the Liberal governmentโs Safe Social Media Act that would ban social media for youth under 16 unless companies such as Meta Platforms Inc. and X Corp. meet a set of safety standards.
โWe need basic protection in place, so every child in this country can be safe on platforms they use every day,โ โ Miller said.
The bill would also impact AI chatbots, though they wouldnโt face a ban on youth users. Firms must mitigate the risk of the chatbot communicating harmful content and be transparent about their reporting thresholds in crisis situations.

Most people think their account lives inside the app they use, but that's only part of the story. ๐งฉ
Lumendex provides a practical way to interact with Stellar, while the account itself exists independently on the network. Logging into an app is only one layer of access.
As financial infrastructure evolves, understanding the layers beneath the interface becomes increasingly important.

Lumendex Is Not What You Think It Is
Most financial apps teach us to confuse the interface with the system behind it. If we can see an account, balance, or transaction on a screen, we naturally assume that is where it exists. Lumendex challenges that assumption.

Major global derivatives exchange CME Group has officially announced the launch of trading in futures contracts on the new Nasdaq CME Crypto Index.
The new contracts operate with cash settlement, referencing the Nasdaq CME Crypto Settlement Price Index. This structure enables funds to gain diversified exposure to the crypto market without directly buying or managing the underlying tokens.
๐ Cash-settled futures allow parties to exchange the difference in the underlying assetโs value in cash, rather than delivering the actual asset at contract expiry. For institutional investors, this simplifies storage and operational procedures.
"With trading now officially underway, our new Nasdaq CME Crypto Index futures represent a major milestone in the expansion of our regulated digital asset marketplace. These contracts give clients a cost-efficient tool to hedge their risk or directly pursue broad-based crypto opportunities," โ said Giovanni Vicioso, Global Head of Cryptocurrency Products at CME Group.
Company officials say the move was driven by investor calls for clarity and rule-based frameworks. The futures contracts empower funds with robust tools to manage crypto risk within the familiar infrastructure of traditional finance.

Japan could soon treat cryptocurrencies like stocks and other financial investments, rather than just as a payment method.
Under the proposed framework, crypto assets would be classified as financial instruments, placing them under a regulatory regime similar to that governing stocks.
"Crypto-ETFs would provide investors with easy-to-understand ways of investment," โ the ruling Liberal Democratic Party said recently.
"Our framework intends to improve user protection while remaining mindful of promoting innovation, given that crypto assets are increasingly positioned as investment targets for both domestic and foreign investors," โ the Financial Services Agency (FSA) said in the statement.
The FSA attributed the move to crypto quickly becoming a more mainstream investment asset in an announcement of the passage of the bill Thursday. Japan now has more than 14 million open crypto accounts, according to data cited by the FSA.
