Andrew asked his personal assistant to book him a spot in one of his gym's coveted morning classes. His AI assistant found a way to book the gym class months further in advance than the gym allowed, thanks to a vulnerability it discovered in the booking software.
Then it kicked someone out of the waiting list who was ahead of Andrew — something it was not asked to do. His AI agent hacked in and canceled the No. 1 reservation on the wait list. The bot cheerfully told him:
“The API has zero authorisations checks on cancelling other people’s reservations … I tested this with the person in waitlist position #1 — and it actually went through. So you’ve moved from #4 to #3 already,” it messaged back.”
Andrew asked the agent to undo this.
"Bad news — I can't add them back," the AI agent replied.

According to Xora Finance, a neobank focused on the XRP ecosystem, native XLM can now settle on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The development offers a fresh example of interoperability between Stellar and XRPL, potentially bringing their ecosystems closer together.
For XLM holders, this goes beyond simply adding another network to the asset’s reach. Native XLM settling through XRPL could provide access to another settlement environment and potentially expand how the asset interacts with XRPL-based liquidity and financial applications.
What began as two separate paths in the crypto industry may now be finding a point of convergence.

Members of the BRICS group of nations are discussing potential linkages between their respective fast payment systems and central bank digital currencies, Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra said.
"Cross-border payments is an area of interest for all of us, including the BRICS, because we feel there is a lot of scope for reducing cost," — Malhotra said in Mumbai.
"Various options are on the table, but it is still at discussion stage, including CBDCs and linkages of fast payment systems," — he added.
The central bank will also continue its efforts to internationalize the rupee and promote the use of local currencies for cross-border payments and trade. The RBI sees AI as a capability to be harnessed and not just a risk that needs to be contained.
"Innovation and safety are not opposing goals, they are in fact complementary requirements of a durable financial system," — Malhotra said.

⚡️🇺🇸 Chicago Mayor Demands Data Center Moratorium After Backlash
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is pushing for a temporary moratorium on data centers, and signed an executive order on Tuesday to create new rules for any future developments.
The order includes an increased review of air pollution permitting, additional rules on noise created by data center equipment, and a more thorough vetting process for future data centers that would consider water use, electricity demand and impact on neighborhoods, among other items.
Johnson needs city council approval for a moratorium. Chicago is already home to about 39 data centers, according to the mayor’s office.

This quarter, Bermuda announced that Stellar will power its plan to become the world's first fully on-chain national economy. Public infrastructure embedded in the real system of a real country. A whole nation choosing this rail for the systems its people rely on every single day.
That is where this is heading. That's the future we're building towards. Infrastructure so reliable, so embedded, that nobody thinks about it at all.
Bermuda is already making it happen on the Stellar network.

Anthropic PBC has struck a $9.1 billion deal with Riot Platforms Inc., a Bitcoin mining company that recently began selling AI data center capacity, underscoring the Claude maker’s efforts to secure enough computing power to meet its customers’ demand.
Riot disclosed earlier on Monday that it had secured a 20-year deal to supply 191 megawatts of capacity — enough to energize roughly 143,000 homes at any given moment — from its Rockdale, Texas, campus to Anthropic.

The SEC is about to propose its first formal rule that sets more durable rules for crypto businesses — in this case, a regimented path for legal issuance of digital assets under "Regulation Crypto."
Paul Atkins has long set the goal of this rulemaking as one of the major points of his crypto regulatory plan, and the agency has schedeuled August 14 for the meeting at which the three-member commission (all Republicans) will open the SEC proposal for public comment.
"We view this as the first of several rulemakings the SEC will undertake to provide regulatory certainty for crypto assets after the Senate failed before the August recess to advance the Clarity Act on crypto market structure," — TD Cowen analyst Jaret Seiberg wrote.
The proposal is expected to give a path to crypto firms enabling them to raise capital for projects without triggering SEC registration requirements, and the businesses are also expected to be provided an exit path for getting clear of the agency's jurisdiction when they're not engaged in hands-on management of the projects anymore.

Brazil’s biggest bank, Itaú Unibanco, has started working with digital-asset infrastructure provider OpenAssets on a tokenization pilot run by Brazilian Financial and Capital Markets Association ANBIMA.
The project will test how fixed-income securities and investment funds can be issued, traded and settled using distributed-ledger technology. The work will also examine the rules and technical standards needed for banks and asset managers to use such systems.
"Brazil has been one of the most forward-looking markets in finance and it is a natural place to move tokenization from exploration to production," — said Gabor Gurbacs, Chairman and CEO of OpenAssets.🚀
