🎮 Meta brings Pocket, an app that lets you vibe-code and share games, to US users

Meta’s experimental vibe-coding gaming app, Pocket, is now rolling out to everyone in the U.S. The app, which arrived quietly last month in the test market of Brazil, allows people to generate small, interactive games using AI prompts, which are published to a scrollable feed.

These interactive experiences and games (“gizmos”) respond to touch and the tilt of your phone, play sound effects, and can include clips of your favorite songs. They can also use photos from your camera roll or access your camera. The resulting games can then be shared on your profile, where others can save them, remix them into other creations, or simply repost them.

🚀🇺🇸 President Donald J. Trump signed a National Security Presidential Memorandum

Trump signed a new National Security Presidential Memorandum to reinvigorate America’s leadership in space transportation and enable over 1,000 launches and reentries on American soil annually by 2030.

"In the 13 years since the last update to the Policy, U.S. launches have surged 10x: from 19 successful orbital launches in 2013 to 178 in 2025. This policy builds on that momentum to enable 1,000 launches and reentries on American soil by 2030," — Michael Kratsios, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said.


The NSPM calls for:
➡️Repealing outdated policies and expediting permitting for space transportation infrastructure
➡️Building out more launch and reentry sites on American soil
➡️Increasing commercial transportation access to and from the Moon and commercial robotic access to Mars
➡️Exploring commercial avenues to send humans to and from Mars

This is how America leads.🏆

⚡️🚘 Tesla Recalls 3 Million EVs in China Over Door Handle Safety

Tesla Inc. and at least eight other carmakers are recalling millions of cars in China over safety concerns with their door handles, a major step to address flaws that have led to vehicle entrapment and multiple fatalities.

More than 4 million vehicles are affected as part of the broad crackdown, one of the most sweeping recalls ever in the world’s biggest auto market. Tesla accounts for the largest share, with just under 3 million vehicles included in the action announced Friday.

🤑 The world's government debt is coming onchain. It's choosing Stellar.

The Stellar network now holds more tokenized non-US government debt than any other blockchain, a lead it has held since February. Here's what's behind the number, and why the fastest-growing corner of the RWA market keeps landing on the same network.

❗️A data point made the rounds this week: Stellar has overtaken Ethereum in tokenized non-US government debt, with roughly $490 million in sovereign instruments onchain, according to RWA.xyz data as of August 20, 2026. Stellar first passed Ethereum in this category in early February and has held the top spot on the leaderboard every day since.🏆

What Stellar leads is a specific race: sovereign debt issued outside the US, in currencies other than the dollar. We think that race matters more than its current size suggests. Most of the world's governments and businesses don't operate in dollars. The networks that serve them will define where tokenization goes next.

Institutions have noticed, and around the world the roster keeps deepening: U.S. Bank, Amundi, Société Générale, AllUnity, Kenanga in Malaysia, and SDF's work with Marketnode in Singapore, backed by SGX and Temasek. That geographic spread is hard to replicate and increasingly the moat. 🌐

Where this goes next 🚀

🧱 Three things that make us excited that the curve will continue.

🔜 RWAs on Stellar are becoming productive collateral: Templar's April launch enabled lending and borrowing against tokenized assets, including Centrifuge's deJAAA and deJTRSY and Etherfuse's CETES and USTRY.

🔜 Agentic commerce is emerging as a new demand vector, with the x402 protocol positioning Stellar as a settlement rail for machine-to-machine payments.

🔜 And regulatory clarity outside the US keeps opening new markets, from further EU issuance following EURAU and EURCV to institutional expansion across APAC.

To the teams making this real, Etherfuse, Spiko, Circle, Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, and every issuer bringing sovereign instruments to Stellar: this milestone is yours. The scoreboard just caught up to the work. 🏑

🇺🇸🧑‍⚖️ Crypto advocates join in suing Illinois over digital asset tax

The crypto industry is piling more legal challenges on Illinois over its new law that imposes a 0.2% tax on businesses transacting or storing crypto for customers within its borders, with two more advocacy groups filing another lawsuit.

The Crypto Council for Innovation and the Blockchain Association sued the state on Friday, claiming the crypto tax violates the U.S. Constitution, Illinois Constitution and the Internet Tax Freedom Act. Its legal volley joins an earlier lawsuit filed last month by the Digital Chamber.

"This tax singles out digital assets for uniquely punitive treatment based on the underlying technology rather than the substance of the transaction itself," — said Ji Kim, who leads CCI. "A tax on digital asset activity with no equivalent tax for traditional assets unlawfully picks winners and losers through the tax code."

🤑🤑 XRP, Stellar & Algorand Take Center Stage in Government-Linked Digital Asset Push

Crypto may be moving into a phase where real-world utility matters more than hype. As governments and financial institutions explore blockchain for payments, digital currencies, trade and tokenized assets, several networks are emerging as potential infrastructure for the next generation of finance. 🚀

📝 SMQKE describes them as government-aligned infrastructure digital assets, projects focused less on replacing traditional finance and more on upgrading how money and assets move through it.

❗️At the forefront of this narrative are XRP, Stellar (XLM) and Algorand (ALGO).

💸 XRP stands out for its focus on fast, low-cost value transfer and liquidity. SMQKE points to Palau’s Stablecoin/CBDC pilot as part of the broader government blockchain experimentation surrounding the XRP ecosystem.

💸 Stellar (XLM) has also been associated with Ukraine’s national digital-currency efforts. Its focus on moving digital value efficiently places it firmly in conversations around stablecoins, cross-border payments and tokenized assets.

💸 Algorand (ALGO) has gained attention through the Marshall Islands’ national digital currency pilot. With an emphasis on scalability, speed and low-cost transactions, Algorand is another network frequently linked to large-scale digital payment infrastructure.

Therefore, the common thread is becoming clearer by the day: payments, liquidity, settlement, interoperability, tokenization and digital infrastructure.

And their value will directly reflect the utility they bring to governments worldwide. 🌐💸

🤖 Crypto’s next billion users might be AI agents, and they’re paying with stablecoins

AI agents are emerging as a new class of customers, making autonomous payments for things like data, computing power and online tools.

❗️Stablecoins, particularly USDC, have taken an early lead in small, high-frequency machine-to-machine payments, while card networks remain better suited to larger purchases requiring credit, refunds and dispute protections.

🔜 Coinbase said earlier in the year that x402 had processed more than 165 million payments worth a combined $50 million. Lincoln Murr, Coinbase’s head of AI product, said that he estimates about 99% of those payments use USDC.

🔜 Stablecoin issuer Circle is testing USDC micropayments, Visa and Mastercard are looking to adapt their existing network for agent purchases, and even BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has said he’s coming out of retirement to work on a currency for the agentic economy.

📌Most payments go to application programming interfaces (APIs), connections that allow one program to request data or a service from another.

“The primary product-market fit today is machine-to-machine payments from agents to APIs,” — Murr said. “Given the velocity of these AI agents and how quickly they move across the internet, we need a standard way for them to pay for things.”


“If we think about agents as the evolution of apps, we're in the ‘QR code scanner/flashlight app’ era. People are experimenting, and we know it's the future, but we're still figuring out the exact mechanics,” — Murr added. 🚀

🤖 OpenAI says California should strengthen its AI safety bill

OpenAI is calling for California to add more safeguards to a landmark AI safety bill that was passed last year.

In a LinkedIn post from the company’s global affairs team, OpenAI said California’s SB 53 “should be amended to expand safeguards,” for example by “requiring monitoring of frontier models under training or evaluation for potential serious incidents,” and by “strengthening cybersecurity protections throughout the model-development lifecycle.”

“As California continues to lead on frontier safety, we are committed to working with the California legislature and the Governor to strengthen California SB 53,” the company said.
