โก๏ธ๐บ๐ธ President Donald J. Trump Ushers in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation
Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to supercharge U.S. innovation in quantum technologies and securing the nation against advanced cryptographic attacks (Executive Order 14409).
๐ The Order directs the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, in coordination with other relevant government leaders, to update the National Quantum Strategy to support quantum-enabling technology and encourage partnerships with U.S. industry.
๐ The Order establishes a national effort to develop the first ever quantum computer powerful enough to initiate the era of quantum-enabled scientific discovery and accelerate quantum capabilities for commercial applications.
๐ The Order calls on the Secretaries of Commerce, War, and Energy and the NASA Administrator to develop plans to deploy quantum-enabled sensors and networks in the next five years.
๐ The Order prioritizes the development of a strong American quantum workforce through the expansion of registered apprenticeships, credentials, and the creation of National Quantum Workforce Development Institutes.
๐ The Order reconstitutes the National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee and directs the expansion of the Quantum Counterintelligence Protection Team. It also directs appropriate engagement with international partners on quantum matters.
It is the policy of the U.S. to safeguard national security and maintain technological leadership by responsibly and effectively executing the transition of Federal information systems to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-approved Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), and to assist critical infrastructure owners and operators with their transitions.
โผ๏ธ This is needed for PQ Era and Stellar wallets.
Under President Trump's leadership, quantum is making a massive leap, and America is at the forefront of these innovations and groundbreaking technologies.๐

Microsoft and Chevron announced plans on Monday to develop a 2.67-gigawatt natural gas power plant in West Texas to serve the tech companyโs AI and cloud data centers.
Under the 20-year power purchase agreement, the plant will provide dedicated electricity to a Microsoft-operated data center. Two large GE Vernova turbines will generate most of the power, with a Caterpillar subsidiary Solar Turbines providing the rest. Microsoft will buy power from the power plant for 20 years.
The project will be โamong the largest co-located natural gas power and data center developments in the U.S.,โ Chevron said in a press release.

Ripple today announced it has received preliminary approval for its Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) license from Luxembourgโs Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) under the EUโs Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation.
The CASP license, combined with Rippleโs existing EU Electronic Money Institution (EMI) licence, will mean that European banks, fintechs and corporates can access Rippleโs full cryptoasset and stablecoins payments infrastructure - collect, exchange and pay out - through a single integration for the first time.
The licence also positions Ripple to expand into broader cryptoasset activities in the region, as it continues to meet growing European demand for digital assets services and infrastructure.
โFinancial market infrastructure is moving onchain - from cross-border payments and settlement to collateral management and tokenised assets - and banks and fintechs are actively building the digital asset capabilities they need to remain competitive. With our growing European presence, regulatory track record and institutional-grade infrastructure, weโre ready to meet the moment and support that transition at scale,โ said Cassie Craddock, Managing Director, UK & Europe at Ripple.
Ripple holds more than 75 regulatory licences globally, making it one of the most licensed crypto companies in the world.

Pathway Labs announced its public launch of EchoNext, the world's first FDA-approved AI detection tool that reads standard 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) to flag high risk structural heart diseases for patients. Receiving FDA clearance for six indications, Pathway Labs also announced its partnership with OpenEvidence to make EchoNext available on the AI platform regularly used by over half of US clinicians.
EchoNext detects heart conditions that clinicians cannot, including right and left-sided heart failure, valve disease, severe hypertrophy compatible with infiltrative cardiomyopathy, and pulmonary hypertension, enabling earlier detection of diseases that usually go undetected until a patient is already symptomatic. The model was trained on more than 700,000 ECG-echocardiogram pairs across NewYork-Presbyterian's healthcare system and identified structural heart disease more accurately than cardiologists, including cardiologists using AI assistance.
EchoNext has shown robust performance in a range of studies representing over 20 hospitals and 500,000 patients in the United States and Canada.
