Most conversations about the quantum threat focus on new encryption algorithms. But real protection depends on building them into the chips that power servers, smartphones, industrial systems, and critical infrastructure. This shift is reshaping the semiconductor industry, as chipmakers move to embed quantum-resistant security directly into hardware.
The collaboration will focus on developing PQC security IP, secure chiplet architectures, and a CryoCMOS ecosystem to support future quantum computing systems. This partnership is about building the foundation for the quantum era: trusted digital infrastructure secured by PQC and the semiconductor technologies that will enable future quantum computing systems.
โA shared long-term vision between GF and SEALSQ is that semiconductors, cybersecurity, Post-Quantum Cryptography, and quantum computing are converging into a single technology ecosystem,โ โ said Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ.

Starmind is SpaceX's planned constellation of space based AI compute satellites. The plan puts AI data centers into orbit, powered by solar and cooled by the vacuum.
"We start flying them next year," โ Musk said of the satellites.
SpaceX has filed with the FCC to launch up to 1 million of them. The first AI1 satellites were already targeted for early 2027, matching his timeline.

๐ต๐ปโโ๏ธ Tรผrkiye indicts 504 suspects over Grand Bazaar laundering network
โ๏ธ The indictment named 504 suspects accused of using shell companies, bank accounts, foreign exchange offices, POS terminals and cryptocurrency transactions to disguise illicit proceeds.
๐ Prosecutors alleged the group established shell firms to channel illegal betting revenues into the financial system and managed the vast money flow through a proprietary digital accounting infrastructure known as โM80.โ
๐ The suspects are also accused of converting the proceeds into cryptocurrencies for transfer abroad and luring victims into fraudulent investment schemes with promises of high returns.
Prosecutors are seeking prison sentences of up to 34.5 years for alleged ringleader Tรผrker Ak and up to 31 years for alleged network manager Murat Dรถnmezoฤlu.

Nebula Security has published exploit code for GhostLock (CVE-2026-43499), a use-after-free bug that sat in the Linux kernel for 15 years and lets any logged-in user take root on an unpatched machine. The flaw shipped by default in essentially every mainstream distribution since 2011 and needs no special permissions or network access.
It also demonstrated that the security defect could be exploited for a container escape in Googleโs kernelCTF program and received a $92,337 bug bounty reward. Notably, Nebula found the bug with VEGA, its AI-driven bug-hunting tool, part of a 2026 run of Linux privilege-escalation flaws surfaced by automated tools combing old kernel code few had reread in years.

China is preparing a major reset of its solar industry by introducing mandatory energy rules โ three standards, known as GB 29447-2026, GB 47835-2026, and GB 47834-2026, They cover the entire photovoltaic supply chain, including polysilicon, silicon wafers, modules, and inverters across domestic manufacturing.
Set to take effect on January 1, 2027, the measures aim to reduce excessive capacity and shift competition away from low prices. By limiting inefficient capacity, China appears to be moving toward a solar sector built around energy savings and higher-quality output.

The European Union will impose a minimum age for young internet users to access social media without parental supervision, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced.
The report recommended that minors under 13 years of age should only have "time-limited" access to social media and with parental supervision. Social media platforms already limit access to users under 13 because they cannot consent to have their data processed according to EU privacy rules.

Ripple secured a seat at the center of the U.K.'s push to move wholesale markets onchain, being named in a Treasury-backed report as one of the credentialed firms the plan leans on rather than a crypto entrant to be managed.
"Onchain funds, bonds and repo aren't experiments. They're already happening, delivering onchain financial instruments that are cheaper, better and faster than their legacy equivalents.
That's why we are proud to support HM Treasury's Wholesale Digital Markets taskforce and today's new strategy to scale tokenization in the UK," โ Ripple wrote on X.
๐ Estimates put the tokenised real-world assets market at $88 trillion by 2035. Up to ยฃ33 billion could be added to the UKโs annual economic output and ยฃ14 billion in annual tax revenues by 2035.
The inaugural report, published on 13 July 2026, sets out actions for industry, supported by government and the UK regulators, to tokenise UK financial markets at scale โ including building secondary markets, tokenising collateral and building on the issuance of DIGIT, the UK Digital Gilt instrument.
Ripple is included in that number.
They will be supported by the City of London Corporation, working closely with industry partners: TheCityUK, the Investment Association, UK Finance, Innovate Finance. The taskforce will drive delivery of live end-to-end use cases, focusing initially on tokenised repo.

"While virtual currencies improve transaction efficiency, their decentralized, anonymous, and cross-border circulation characteristics also provide unprecedented convenience for money laundering crimes," according to an article on the official website of China's top prosecutorial authority, the Supreme Peopleโs Procuratorate (SPP).
In particular, the authors singled out the use of mixers, privacy coins and decentralized exchanges, arguing that existing investigative methods struggle to trace transactions and gather evidence.

๐ฆ๐บ Australia is taking another major step toward digital transformation. ๐ฆ
Over the next 12โ18 months, paper Incoming Passenger Cards will be phased out and replaced with a digital Australia Travel Declaration across all international airports and seaports.
After a successful trial involving more than 450,000 passengers, the new system aims to:
โ๏ธ Speed up border processing.
๐ฑ Eliminate paper forms.
๐ Improve customs, biosecurity, and security risk assessments.
๐ Create a smoother travel experience for both visitors and returning Australians.
This is another example of governments modernising public services through digital infrastructure. As more countries embrace digital-first solutions, we're seeing the continued evolution of border management, identity, and travel systems.

Chinese researchers have made a major breakthrough in AI technology. They have developed an all-optical interconnect system that connects standard electronic chips, increasing distributed inference speeds by over 100 times.
This new system also reduces the computational resources needed to just one-ninth of what is typically required. The study was published in the National Science Review journal, with Shu Haowen and Wang Xingjun from Peking University as corresponding authors.

The Linux Foundation announced the operational launch of the x402 Foundation, a new open-governance body formed to steward the x402 protocol โ the open standard for internet-native payments over HTTP.
Since the Foundation's intent to launch in April, 40 organizations have joined as members. Ripple is included in that number.
As AI agents begin to take on more of the transaction lifecycle, they'll need a way to pay that's as fast and reliable as the way they already exchange data.
"We've been helping build that future on the XRP Ledger with the tools and infrastructure developers need to enable agentic payments, including support for x402 that enables agents to transact using XRP and RLUSD today," โ Ripple wrote on X.

Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States. Those Investments will be MASSIVE but, at the same time, extraordinarily good for them, and their future.
