⚡️✈️ France’s Telegram case turned two years old on Monday. Durov argues the case has weakened as evidence about Telegram’s moderation record has accumulated.

That investigation is still ongoing, although it makes less sense with each passing year.

Why?

Because we now have extensive evidence that Telegram was neither worse than other popular platforms at moderation, nor the worst at cooperating with authorities.

In the end, freedom and truth will prevail

🇯🇵 Infleqtion helped launch Japan’s first operational full-stack neutral-atom quantum computer

Working with Professor Kenji Ohmori’s team at the Institute for Molecular Science, Infleqtion contributed the quantum processing unit for the “Shunkai” system. The system is expected to initially operate with approximately 50 qubits and scale to around 500 as development progresses.

As the only foreign quantum partner selected for Japan’s Quantum Moonshot program, Infleqtion is helping advance production-ready, scalable neutral-atom quantum systems internationally. The project’s next phase will focus on system integration, stability and scalability toward fault-tolerant quantum computing, with a goal of up to 10,000 physical qubits and quantum error detection and correction capabilities.

🇵🇰 Pakistan kicks off crypto licensing regime with Sept. 5 registration deadline

The Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA) notified its licensing regulations and opened its application portal, completing the framework established under the Virtual Assets Act, 2026. The regime covers 10 categories, including exchanges, custody, broker-dealer services, advisory, lending and borrowing, derivatives, asset management, transfers and settlement, token issuance and mining-related services.

The framework requires licensed providers to meet requirements covering governance, technology, cybersecurity, customer protection and anti-money laundering and counter-terror financing controls. Existing virtual-asset businesses must submit NOC applications by September 5, 2026, or cease operations.

For Pakistan, the licensing regime represents a significant shift from regulatory uncertainty toward formal supervision. But its success will depend on whether the country can build credible enforcement alongside the rules. 🤔

🚖 Uber hit with near-$1 billion fine after algorithms suspended drivers without human review

The Dutch Data Protection Authority has fined Uber €825 million ($966 ‌million) for deactivating driver accounts through automated systems without adequately informing them. The penalty would be the second-largest issued yet under Europe's General Data Protection Regulation. Uber said it would also appeal.

"Uber has committed ​serious infringements," in deactivating driver accounts without warning or human involvement, — the organisation's deputy chair Monique Verdier said.

"From one moment ​to the next they no longer had any income ... A computer should not make decisions on its own that have (such) major consequences."


Article 22 of the GDPR protects people from decisions based entirely on automated processing when the outcome has a significant legal or personal effect.

💊 Too much or too little sleep may make your body age faster

Scientists are increasingly using aging clocks to estimate whether a person is aging biologically faster or slower than their chronological age. These tools rely on machine learning and biological information (e.g., proteins from a minimally invasive blood test) to calculate patterns associated with aging. To create the aging clocks, Wen used information from about half a million participants in the UK Biobank.

📝 The team compared sleep duration with biological age estimates from 23 aging clocks covering 17 organ systems. A clear U-shaped pattern appeared across the body. People reporting short sleep (fewer than 6 hours) and long sleep (greater than 8 hours) tended to show faster biological aging. The lowest levels of aging were seen among people who reported sleeping between 6.4 and 7.8 hours each day.

"The broad brain-body pattern is important because it tells us that sleep duration is a deeply embedded part of our entire physiology, with far-reaching implications across the body," — says study leader Junhao Wen. "This has a strong implication for future sleep management and future therapeutics."

📱 Nikita Bier Says X Trade Buttons Are Coming Soon

You can even paste contract addresses for newly minted tokens. There wasn’t a single feature on X for crypto traders until I joined," — Bier said.


He also pointed to U.S. Treasury bond buybacks, not X, as a driver of the rally.

🔥 Franklin Templeton and Hashkey roll out U.S. tokenized money fund in Asia

Hong Kong regulated crypto exchange Hashkey has teamed up with financial giant Franklin Templeton to distribute its flagship tokenized money market fund, Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Liquidity Fund (grBENJI), to digital asset investors in Asia.

🔜 GrBENJI is designed to provide professional investors with access to a tokenized fund investing mainly in U.S. government money market products and U.S. dollar cash assets on the blockchain.

🔜 Franklin Templeton manages $1.8 trillion in assets globally across more than 35 countries. The fund uses blockchain infrastructure to provide investors with exposure to traditional money market instruments through a tokenized wrapper, or a blockchain-based token that represents a claim on the underlying asset.

The move reflects growing institutional demand for yield-generating instruments backed by real-world assets on regulated digital platforms. Tokenized U.S. Treasury and money market funds have grown 1,500% to $15 billion in the last two years, according to data source rwa.xyz. 🚀

🤑 Stellar’s Denelle Dixon weighs in on regulatory uncertainty in crypto

Stellar approaching $4 billion in RWAs on-chain, which would put it roughly alongside and potentially ahead of Solana by that measure. What does that what does a milestone like that represent to you? And what does that say about where the market is going?


So I love this stat, not just for the stat itself. The stat itself is great. But what I love is the trend line. If you think about how this started. So January, we were at a billion. We were at 2 billion a couple of months later, 3 billion in June, and now we're approaching 4 billion. So the trend line to me is way more important than the single stat itself.

🕵🏼‍♂️ Police arrests dozens of suspects in global cybercrime crackdown

Law enforcement agencies from 22 countries helped identify 263 suspects and arrested 58 individuals linked to cybercrime networks coordinated by African crime groups. The "Operation Jackal IV" international joint action targeted West African criminal networks between November 2025 and June 2026.

The operation also focused on disrupting the Black Axe cybercrime syndicate, known for its involvement in global-scale cyber-enabled financial fraud. Most commonly, Black Axe and similar criminal rings are targeting victims in romance scams, cryptocurrency and investment scams, or business email compromise fraud.

During Operation Jackal IV, Argentinian law officers made 17 arrests, and they linked 196 suspects to a major Crime-as-a-Service network that provided West African organized crime groups with web domains and money-laundering support.

South African authorities also arrested 39 individuals, blocked 257 bank accounts, and seized $2.67 million from a criminal syndicate that targeted retirees in English-speaking countries in investment and romance scams.

⚡️🪐 Elon Musk Outlines Path to Kardashev Type II and III Civilizations

In posts on X, Musk explained that massive solar cell production, AI chips, millions of Optimus humanoid robots, and a Moon mass driver are key to reaching Kardashev Type II status, where civilizations tap their star's entire energy output, and eventually Type III for galactic scale.

He estimated one million Optimus robots plus one gigawatt of solar could create the first Von Neumann probe, a self-replicating machine that expands using local materials. The ideas blend SpaceX's Starship heavy-lift capabilities with Tesla's robotics, sparking talk of timelines like 7,000 flights for a megaton to orbit using a fleet of 35 vehicles.
