😺 OpenAI unveils its first custom chip, built by Broadcom

On Wednesday, OpenAI unveiled its first custom-built inference processor, designed and manufactured in collaboration with Broadcom. Named Jalapeño, the new processor was designed specifically for the unique needs of OpenAI’s inference systems. OpenAI’s own AI models assisted in the development of the chip, the company said.

While the chip is still being tested, OpenAI says early results show significantly better performance-per-watt than current state-of-the-art alternatives.

🤑 Circle Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) is now live on Stellar, enabling native USDC to move across Stellar & major supported blockchains.

➡️ Circle CCTP (Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol) is a burn-and-mint protocol for moving native USDC between blockchains. The source chain burns USDC, CCTP's attestation service signs the burn message, and the destination chain mints fresh native USDC of the same amount.


🟠CCTP went live on Stellar in May 2026, joining 23 other supported chains including Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Polygon.

➡️ Native USDC can now move between Stellar and any other CCTP-enabled chain. CCTP improves security and capital efficiency with 1:1 native transfers on Stellar.

❗️Here's why it matters:

Before CCTP, USDC reached Stellar through third-party bridges, Circle Mint redemptions, or anchor swaps.🔣CCTP replaces those paths with a burn-and-mint protocol between Stellar and 23 supported chains. What arrives is the same canonical USDC as every other supported chain.

⚫️Companies can use Crossmint as stablecoin and wallet infrastructure to enable end-to-end stablecoin flows on top of CCTP without writing chain-specific integration code. Crossmint already powers the MoneyGram app's stablecoin balance in Colombia and El Salvador on the same Stellar infrastructure that CCTP now connects to 23 other chains.

CCTP fundamentally improves how USDC moves between Stellar and other chains, who or what sits in the middle, and what the resulting asset looks like on the destination chain. 🚀

🤑🇯🇵 Japan now has a two-tier stablecoin system.

SBI VC Trade lists RLUSD for retail dollar settlements (capped at 1M yen per transaction) while SBI Holdings' $JPYSC handles unlimited yen-denominated corporate settlements, both launch today.


Japan's SBI VC Trade launched Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin for retail users with strict transaction limits, marking the first registered electronic payment instrument of its kind in Japan. 🎉

➡️ Ripple has partnered with SBI Holdings to bring the RLUSD stablecoin to Japan in the first quarter of 2026. The companies signed a MOU on August 22, 2025, positioning SBI VC Trade as a distribution partner for Ripple's enterprise-grade stablecoin.

❗️Alongside this, SBI introduced JPYSC, an unlimited yen stablecoin for B2B corporate use, creating a two-tier stablecoin system.

Japan's first trust bank-backed yen stablecoin,
issued by SBI Shinsei Trust Bank and distributed exclusively through SBI VC Trade. The token is pegged 1:1 to the yen, classified as an electronic payment instrument under Japan's Payment Services Act, and carries no transaction cap, a structural detail that separates it from every prior yen stablecoin attempt in the domestic market.

⚔️ Anthropic Accuses Alibaba of ‘Illicitly’ Accessing AI Models

Anthropic PBC accused Chinese technology giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. of waging a large-scale effort to “illicitly” access its Claude artificial intelligence model using thousands of fraudulent accounts.

Anthropic claimed that a campaign by operators linked to Alibaba’s Qwen AI lab targeted Claude’s most prized capabilities, including software engineering and agentic reasoning, according to a letter that the AI startup sent to several US senators and White House officials. The company said it was the biggest attempt so far by a Chinese company to piggyback on the work of top US labs.

🛰 Elon MuskSpaceX’s newest Starmind will make earth data centers obsolete

Elon Musk confirmed that Starmind will be the official name of SpaceX’s planned AI satellite constellation, following a trademark filing by xAI that surfaced earlier this week. Starmind is what’s being described to the FCC as a constellation of up to one million AI satellites.

Starmind
is something completely different, and tather than moving data, its satellites would compute data through artificial intelligence and directly in orbit using onboard processors powered by large solar arrays. Where a Starlink satellite is essentially a very fast pipe, a Starmind satellite is a server.

The practical implication is that Starmind would allow AI models to run inference, process queries, and generate outputs from space, then beam results down to users anywhere on Earth within milliseconds, and without the data ever needing to travel to a terrestrial data center.

DOE is investing to accelerate fault‑tolerant quantum computing through Quantum Genesis. While networks like Stellar are investing to absorb that shock by moving to quantum‑resistant cryptography on roughly the same timeline. QPP aims to have all Stellar accounts able to add quantum‑safe signers by end of 2027, with enterprise wallets starting as early as 2026. So is Stellar aligning its migration window with the expected inflection point in real‑world quantum capability? 🤔
