The XRP Ledger's next software release will put five new features in front of validators, two of which were pulled from the network after security researchers found flaws serious enough to warrant emergency action.
"XRPL has already proven it can support tokenized assets at scale. Now it’s time to put these assets to use: global transfers, trading, collateralizing, and settling.
The upcoming release of xrpld 3.3.0 includes five amendments that move XRPL significantly closer to that goal," — said Jazzi Cooper.🚀

The agreement extended a decades-long bilateral arrangement that expired on Monday which allows the operation of Baghdad's only functioning export pipeline, the Iraq-Turkey Pipeline (ITP).
"While our efforts continue toward a new long-term agreement for this pipeline... we have implemented this transit arrangement covering a daily capacity of 750,000 barrels," — Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said.

From 2 August 2026, the European Commission's AI Office, together with national authorities, will begin enforcing the AI Act. New transparency rules will start to apply, requiring certain AI systems to tell users when they are interacting with AI and when content has been generated or altered by it.
The Commission published today a first list of more than 180 organisations that have signed the Code of Practice on transparency of AI-generated content that operationalises the rules on transparency of AI-generated content.

Yiannis Levendis, a professor at Northeastern University, has developed a robotic firefighting prototype that uses liquid nitrogen to rapidly extinguish wildfires without harming the environment. The system is designed to reach hazardous fire hotspots that may be difficult or unsafe for firefighters to access, offering an alternative approach to early wildfire suppression.
Levendis observed that liquid nitrogen could rapidly extinguish flames by expanding into gas and reducing the oxygen available for combustion. Unlike conventional wildfire retardants, the cryogenic approach leaves no chemical residue, potentially reducing environmental impacts on soil and nearby water bodies.
To deliver the cryogenic agent, the research team built an all-terrain robotic platform equipped with caterpillar tracks and a spray system. The prototype is being evaluated on controlled fires using vegetation commonly found in wildfire-prone forests in the western U.S.

The Russian government has issued a decree banning crypto mining and participation in mining pools in Moscow, the surrounding Moscow region, and parts of the Kursk region from Aug. 15 until the end of 2032.
The measure finalizes a proposal published by the country’s Energy Ministry in late June, which included an explanatory note that said the affected territories could face electricity shortages if the mining activities were not prohibited year-round.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission cleared quantum computing firm IonQ's $1.8 billion acquisition of chipmaker SkyWater Technology, the largest semiconductor foundry based in the U.S., after the agency's leaders disagreed over whether to impose conditions.
Chairman Andrew Ferguson proposed requiring IonQ to agree to granting fair access to rival quantum computing companies, some of whom have ongoing contracts with SkyWater, among other measures to protect competition as the U.S. adds chip manufacturing capacity.

Venezuela’s government and some opposition members formally launched a US-backed political dialogue that could establish the terms for future democratic elections. Representatives of the government-controlled National Assembly and members of the 2015 opposition-led National Assembly had a phone call on Saturday.
The parties established technical working groups that are expected to begin in-person meetings next week in Caracas. The groups will discuss the response for the victims of the recent twin earthquakes, strengthening democracy and political rights and guarantees.

Moroccan King Mohammed VI said his decision to give US President Donald Trump’s name to a $1 billion highway that crosses into the disputed Western Sahara expresses his “deep appreciation” of the American leader.

Major OPEC+ nations have agreed in principle to another token increase in their production quotas for September, a move that would complete the theoretical revival of supplies halted in 2023 and give them scope to add more barrels once the Middle East war ends.
Seven members led by Saudi Arabia and Russia are likely to agree to boost their collective target by a further 188,000 barrels a day next month, two delegates said.
