NASA has officially debuted Athena, its most powerful and efficient supercomputer to date. This new system is designed to anchor the agency’s next-generation space, aeronautics, and scientific research. Athena is the newest flagship of NASA’s High-End Computing Capability (HECC) project. It is based at NASA’s Ames Research Center’s Modular Supercomputing Facility in California’s Silicon Valley.
Athena provides the heavy-duty processing power (delivering a peak performance of over 20 petaflops)
These AI systems can rapidly sift through petabytes of satellite and mission data, identifying patterns and scientific insights that would be impossible for human researchers to uncover on their own. For instance, researchers can use Athena to simulate complex atmospheric patterns and forecast the terrestrial effects of solar storms.

Elon Musk’s aerospace firm SpaceX and his artificial intelligence company xAI are talking about a possible merger, a move that would wrap some of the billionaire’s tech and space companies into one organization ahead of SpaceX’s anticipated initial public offering. The merger could be used to provide xAI a boost in the artificial intelligence race as it faces fierce competition from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, giving it the ability to launch satellites or AI data centers into space—an idea explored by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
The report comes a little more than a year after xAI acquired X, Musk’s social media platform, in a $33 billion all-stock deal. Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and xAI, has not publicly commented or speculated on a merger between his two companies. Some xAI executives may have the option to receive cash instead of SpaceX stock under the merger, but a final agreement has not been signed. If the merger went through, SpaceX would own xAI and X, adding onto satellite internet company Starlink.

Trump’s announcement rippled straight into the metals market. By midday, gold and silver were having their worst day since Ronald Reagan was president. By 11:30 a.m. Eastern time, gold was down 7%, in what would be its worst session since April 2013. Silver was down 19%, which if it holds, would be its biggest single day drop since 1987. Together, that adds up to a 26% combined drop in a single session.
For months, traders had been betting that Trump would pick a Fed chair who would push for lower rates. Warsh arrived with the opposite image. But you can also point a finger at the metals themselves. Gold is up about 75% over the past year. Silver is up more than 180%. Screaming markets like that don’t need much of a scare to go into hiding. If Warsh takes the job and sticks to his old views, this selloff could mark a turning point.

XRP + XLM 🤝 VISA: Harvard University Shines Light on Visa’s Blockchain-Based Settlement System with XRP and Stellar Leading the Charge.
Harvard University highlights Visa’s Digital FIAT Currency Settlement patent as a blockchain system leveraging XRP and Stellar (XLM) as key enablers for efficient, secure transactions. Visa’s 2020 patent proposes a system for central banks to digitize physical currency, issuing blockchain-based digital equivalents. The design aims to enable faster, more transparent, and secure transactions while maintaining fiat currency’s legal status.
Why Harvard spotlights XRP and XLM as prime blockchain examples aligning with Visa’s vision?🧐
- XRP is engineered for high‑speed settlement, with transactions often confirmed in seconds and low fees, making it appealing for large‑scale cross‑border payment systems. The XRP Ledger also supports decentralized exchange functionality and has a track record of enterprise‑grade integrations.
- XLM, the native token of the Stellar network, focuses on inclusion and remittances, optimizing cross‑border transfers for both individual users and institutions at minimal cost and with reliable throughput.
XRP and XLM are no longer speculative, they are recognized as practical infrastructure that can streamline global payments and connect traditional finance with digital currencies. As central banks and enterprises explore digital fiat adoption, XRP and XLM emerge as efficient, scalable solutions, validating their role at the forefront of a future where digital assets and traditional finance operate seamlessly together.🤲

🇺🇸 US government partially shuts down despite last minute funding deal
The US federal government has partially shutdown despite a last-ditch funding deal approved by the Senate. The funding lapse began at midnight US eastern time (05:00 GMT) on Saturday, hours after senators agreed to fund most agencies until September. The bill includes just two weeks' funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees immigration enforcement, instead of shutting it down entirely. But the bill has yet to be approved by the House of Representatives, which is out of session.
US President Donald Trump struck the deal with Democrats after they refused to give more funding for immigration enforcement following the fatal shooting of two US citizens in Minneapolis.
It is the second such government shutdown in the past year and comes just 11 weeks after the end of the previous funding impasse that lasted 43 days, the longest in US history. This shutdown, however, is unlikely to be that long or widespread as the House of Representatives is set to be back in session on Monday.

🇻🇪 Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodriguez plans amnesty law for political prisoners and closure of notorious prison
Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodriguez has announced an amnesty bill that could lead to the release of hundreds of prisoners.
The law would exclude those accused of killings, serious human rights abuses, or drug trafficking. Rodriguez also announced the shutdown of El Helicoide, a notorious secret service prison in Caracas, where torture and other human rights abuses have been documented by independent organisations. El Helicoide will be transformed into a sports, social and cultural centre for the surrounding neighbourhoods.

Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodriguez has announced an amnesty bill that could lead to the release of hundreds of prisoners.
“We have decided to push ahead with a general amnesty law that covers the whole period of political violence from 1999 to the present day,” Rodriguez said on Friday. “May this law serve to redirect justice in our country, and may it serve to redirect coexistence among Venezuelans.”
The law would exclude those accused of killings, serious human rights abuses, or drug trafficking.

The iPhone maker has reportedly acquired Q. ai, an Israeli company specialising in AI imaging and audio technologies, for nearly $2 billion. Apple's takeover of Q. ai marks its second most expensive acquisition to date, following the $3 billion purchase of Beats in 2014. Q. AI has created an optical sensor technology that tracks tiny movements in facial muscles, skin, and the jaw.
The acquisition comes amid rumours that Apple aims to enhance its Apple Intelligence platform by acquiring a major AI player. Patents show potential applications in headphones or glasses, enabling private, non-verbal interactions with AI assistants. It must be kept in mind that Apple is determined to develop its own in-house large language models (LLMs).
Johny Srouji, Apple's chipmaking chief, lauded Q. ai as "a remarkable company that is pioneering new and creative ways to use imaging and machine learning." With this latest purchase, Apple is also expected to bring on board Q. ai's founding team, including CEO Aviad Maizels and co-founders Yonatan Wexler and Avi Barliya.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said Saturday that a recent report of friction between his company and OpenAI was “nonsense.” Huang’s comments came after The Wall Street Journal published a story late Friday claiming that Nvidia was looking to scale back its investment in OpenAI. The two companies announced a plan in September in which Nvidia would invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI and also build 10 gigawatts of computing infrastructure for the AI company.
An OpenAI spokesperson told the WSJ that the companies are “actively working through the details of our partnership,” adding that Nvidia “has underpinned our breakthroughs from the start, powers our systems today, and will remain central as we scale what comes next.” In response, Huang insisted that Nvidia will “definitely participate” in OpenAI’s latest funding round “because it’s such a good investment.”
“We will invest a great deal of money,” Huang said. “I believe in OpenAI. The work that they do is incredible. They’re one of the most consequential companies of our time.”

Google released the first public version of Project Genie to its AI Ultra subscribers. Powered by generative AI, this service allows users to create open worlds that can be explored like in a video game. Project Genie leverages the Genie 3 and Gemini models to generate a 60-second interactive world rather than a fully playable one. Google has said Project Genie is an experimental tool for now, meant to help with things like previz for large games.
The prospect of such technology has sent waves through the financial industry, with multiple high-profile video game company stocks taking a hit on the news. Stocks that are down following the release of Project Genie include GTA publisher Take-Two Interactive, Roblox (infamous "Steal a Brainrot"), game engine developer Unity, and CD Projekt Red, the team behind The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077.

Schwartz’s statement came after new documents from Epstein’s estate were released, prompting discussion across social platforms. Some suggested that XRP might appear in the files.
Schwartz made it clear that no such connection exists, emphasizing that indirect ties between Epstein and individuals connected to Bitcoin are separate from Ripple and Stellar. Documentation and analysis confirm that XRP were not funded by or involved with Epstein.
The files should be reviewed carefully without concluding based on partial information. The presence of names in emails does not equate to financial involvement or operational ties.

🇨🇳 President Xi Jinping calls for the Chinese yuan to become a global reserve currency
In an essay published Saturday in Qiushi, Xi Jinping argued that China should build a “strong” currency that is broadly used across global trade, investment and foreign exchange markets and that can ultimately be held by central banks as reserves.
However the renminbi’s role in official reserves remains small. The International Monetary Fund data show the U.S. dollar still makes up the largest share of global reserves, with the euro second. The renminbi ranks well behind, at under 2% in the third quarter of 2025. Analysts say a bigger reserve role would likely require steps China has been cautious about, including a more open capital account and fuller convertibility. Trading partners have also urged Beijing to allow a stronger exchange rate, arguing the currency is kept too weak and contributes to China’s outsized trade surplus.
