9 enterprise accounts are now running USDC payroll on Stellar, reaching an annualized payroll run-rate of ~$4M. And the infrastructure around that payroll continues to expand.
β MoneyGram offramp for local cash access
β Privy wallet infrastructure
β Payroll-connected Tangem hardware wallets
β Multi-currency fiat support
More than moving stablecoins. It's about making onchain payroll accessible regardless of someone's crypto experience.

TikTok is exploring a feature that would allow users to send money to each other in direct messages, in a move that would extend the social media appβs push into financial services. The in-development feature, if launched, would use the TikTok Pay offering already available in Southeast Asia to handle the transactions.
Evidence of the addition was found inside of code hidden in the current version of TikTokβs US iPhone app.

Comcast has rolled out a new motion-sensing technology to its latest home routers, allowing homeowners to receive notifications about activity detected inside their house while they are away. The free feature, called Wi-Fi Motion, turns newer Xfinity gateways into motion sensors by detecting interruptions to the Wi-Fi signal of the wireless network and sends a notification through the Xfinity app.
"We believe the network should do more than connect devices. It should help protect the people, their personal information, and everything within their homes that depend on our most reliable WiFi every day," β Comcast said.

Researchers in the US have launched a USD 1 million project to develop quantum sensors by using the tiny defects in diamonds, to measure electromagnetic fields with extraordinary sensitivity. The effort is part of a new three-year project carried out at the U.S. Department of Energyβs Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in Illinois.
The researchers will create compact sensors that can precisely map electromagnetic fields. The devices could additionally be integrated into particle accelerators and other experiments. Understanding how electromagnetic forces affect particles is crucial for particle physics.
βThis is another front for the likely quantum revolution. Five or 10 years ago, this was kind of science fiction,β β Nazar Delegan, PhD, a researcher at ANL and project co-lead, highlighted.
If successful, the project could enable more precise measurements and new ways to study the universe using quantum defects in diamonds, with support from the DOEβs Quantum Information Science program.

Cash Appβs cryptocurrency service is extending beyond BTC and stablecoin USDC for the first time by being added to crypto payments platform MoonPay.
Users will also be able to fund wallets on MoonPay through their Cash App balances, including Ledger, BitPay, Trust Wallet, MetaMask and Uniswap, among others.
Cash App, the mobile payment service developed by Jack Dorseyβs fintech company Block (XYZ), is one of the premier mainstream gateways into cryptocurrency, given its customer base of over 50 million users.
βWhile bitcoin remains at the core of our digital asset strategy, we want to give customers choice and flexibility however they choose to pay,β β Morgan Kuntze, Blockβs global partnerships lead, said.

Your brain and the ocean share an unexpected feature: waves. Electrical activity can move across the brain's surface in patterns known as traveling brain waves or neural traveling waves. Salk Institute researchers suggest these waves act as a computational engine in the visual cortex, helping the brain process visual information.
The researchers concentrated on the visual cortex and proposed 4 major functions for neural traveling waves. The waves may adjust perception from moment to moment, transform recent sensory information into an internal representation, produce short-term predictions about the surrounding world, and preserve and replay patterns associated with memories of events that unfold over time.
The connections responsible for generating the waves do more than transmit signals. They can alter their physiology ("synaptic weights") in ways that reflect information learned from the outside world.
The review was published in Neuron on July 21, 2026.

Anthropic has published new experiments showing Claude can handle parts of protein design and analytical chemistry that normally require specialized scientists and significant amounts of time.
Importantly, protein binders are not drugs. Designing a high-affinity binder is just the first step in the process of developing a drug-like molecule.
Still, this feels like another important shift in AI-assisted science.

HSBC and Standard Chartered completed the first live interbank transaction on Swiftβs new blockchain-based ledger, using tokenized deposits for real-time cross-border settlement.
The pilot, involving 17 banks across six continents, aims to cut costs and speed up payments by using a shared ledger that nets and settles obligations while preserving existing regulatory oversight. Bank executives say tokenized deposits and stablecoins will coexist, with Swiftβs vast network positioning it to drive adoption of blockchain-based settlement.

LG Display has successfully developed a dream OLED patterning method that is free from the conventional fine metal mask (FMM) process, using its own proprietary technology. Its groundbreaking FMM-less method delivers much greater flexibility in mass production as well as brighter panels with longer lifespan and lower power consumption.
One of FLiPP's greatest advantages is that it is free from panel size and resolution constraints. In theory, it can be used to produce displays ranging from 1 inch to 100 inches and can be applied not only to conventional panels but also to VR and AR displays, making it a virtually universal, "ultimate technology."
Starting with IT applications such as tablets and monitors, it will expand its range of FLiPP-manufactured panels to cover a range of products from 1-inch wearable devices to ultra-large TVs β tailoring products to customer needs.
