Indonesia awarded Prime Minister Narendra Modi its highest civilian honour, the ‘Bintang Adipurna of the Republic of Indonesia’, in recognition of his contribution to strengthening bilateral ties between the two countries.
The honour was conferred on Tuesday during his high-profile visit to Jakarta this week, taking the total number of foreign government awards received by Modi to at least 35 and making him one of the most decorated serving leaders in the world.
“It is also a tribute to the historic and deeply-rooted ties between India and Indonesia. I sincerely thank President Prabowo, the Government of Indonesia and the people of Indonesia for this special honour,” Modi wrote on X.

China plans to allow top AI companies to buy a limited amount of H200 chips from Nvidia Corp., a sign the country is easing restrictions on the coveted US technology.
Chinese officials have informed companies such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., ByteDance Ltd. and DeepSeek that they will have permission to purchase some of the processors, which are used to develop AI models. The companies need to say how many chips they need — and why — to get approval.

INSTITUTIONAL STABLECOIN ADOPTION FUELS XLM PAYMENTS BOOM ON STELLAR
July 7, 2026
•Institutional stablecoin adoption is accelerating on Stellar, with growing support from projects involving USDC, MoneyGram and PayPal, reinforcing the network’s role in digital payments.
•More than $3.3 billion in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) now operate on Stellar, strengthening its position as a blockchain for financial settlement.
•Protocol 27 aims to improve smart accounts, wallet functionality and developer tools, supporting the next stage of Stellar’s ecosystem growth.
Institutional stablecoin adoption continues to expand across the crypto sector, and Stellar is becoming one of the primary networks benefiting from that trend. The growing use of blockchain-based payment infrastructure has placed XLM payments at the center of discussions about efficient digital finance, while tokenized assets and network upgrades reinforce Stellar’s position as a platform built for real-world financial applications
INSTITUTIONAL STABLECOIN ADOPTION STRENGTHENS XLM PAYMENTS
Institutional demand for stablecoin infrastructure has become one of the strongest drivers behind Stellar’s recent growth. Built around fast settlement and low transaction costs, the network has established itself as an attractive option for companies seeking blockchain payment rails that comply with existing financial regulations.
USDC remains one of the largest stablecoins operating on Stellar, supporting payment initiatives across multiple markets. Partnerships involving MoneyGram have demonstrated how blockchain can simplify international transfers by connecting digital assets with local cash services. Meanwhile, PayPal’s expansion to Stellar adds another recognized financial brand to the ecosystem, increasing confidence in the network’s payment capabilities.
Stellar has consistently prioritized real-world financial applications instead of focusing primarily on speculative activity. That strategy has allowed payment providers and fintech companies to build services that connect traditional finance with blockchain technology while maintaining efficient and affordable settlement.

Meta Platforms Inc. will invest around $10 billion to build its first data center in Canada as the company expands its infrastructure to support its AI ambitions.
The Sturgeon County, Alberta-based data center will have one gigawatt of power capacity — the equivalent of the power used by around 750,000 homes — and will be largely run on natural gas-fired power. Meta said it’s funding the new electrical generation, which will be connected to Alberta’s grid.

The EU is set to revisit its crypto rules in an attempt to address the issue of multiple crypto-asset issuances from non-EU jurisdictions and to expand the framework to cover emerging technologies.
“Reopening the file seems unavoidable at this stage, not only in light of the position expressed by several European institutions (not least the ECB), but also to cater for the most recent regulatory and technological developments worldwide,” a EU diplomat said.
As US president Donald Trump has made significant investments in stablecoins, the EU is under growing pressure to clarify how to regulate non-EU companies that issue those crypto assets and operate in Europe.

Working with surgeons from the University of California San Diego, a humanoid robot successfully carried out a gallbladder removal. In a second operation, two humanoids working side by side performed a laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Both of the procedures for the proof-of-concept experiment were performed on non-primate mammals.
“Remotely operated and autonomous humanoid robots have real potential for amplifying access to critical surgeries to which patients would otherwise not have access.
This can help address the healthcare crisis not only in the United States, but also worldwide,” — said Michael Yip, a faculty member in the UC San Diego Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Meta Platforms plans to start manufacturing an AI chip from September as part of its plan to boost overall computing power to 14 gigawatts next year. The tech firm's data center chip, code-named "Iris", is part of a four-generation project for Meta Training and Inference Accelerators (MTIA) that it will design in-house.
The plan is to use custom-built silicon to improve the AI that powers its Facebook and Instagram social media platforms. The approach is likely to help the firm lower its massive computing costs and gain more independence from chip suppliers such as Nvidia and AMD.

AI makes it easier for businesses to create ads, place their brand’s products in various settings, and save money on real-world e-commerce photography. But it can also be misleading if consumers don’t know that what they’re looking at isn’t a real product photo. While Google prohibits misleading and deceptive ads, an ad can still leverage AI to create some type of synthetic or digitally altered content. Until now, that’s something Google only required election ads to disclose.
The tech giant said the new consumer-facing feature will be introduced to the “My Ad Center” panel, which anyone globally can access by clicking the three-dot menu or the info icon on the ads they see via Google Search, YouTube, and Google Discover. Now users also see an option that says “How this ad was made,” which will indicate if the ad was created or edited with AI.
