๐ŸŽ Apple responds to user reports of broken iPhone Duo screens on new foldable phone

Appleโ€™s first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, hit store shelves on Friday. But some customers who were lucky enough to get the $1,999-and-up phone on its first weekend have been reporting a pretty big problem: the inner screen of the phone can break, showing horizontal bright lines emanating from the phoneโ€™s hinge.

Apple on Monday said it was aware of the issue, which it said affected a โ€œsmall numberโ€ of phones, and that it would replace the devices under its AppleCare warranty.

โ€œWe are aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units,โ€ โ€” an Apple representative said.

โ€œIf users experience issues with their iPhone Duo display, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement.โ€

๐Ÿค– Scientists overcome a hidden obstacle to more powerful quantum computers

Silicon spin qubits could play a major role in the future of quantum computing because they can be produced using the same semiconductor manufacturing methods that make today's computer chips. However, researchers have faced a significant challenge.

When multiple silicon qubits are controlled at the same time, their operations tend to become less accurate. Building practical, large quantum computers will require scientists to control many qubits simultaneously while keeping errors to a minimum.

๐Ÿ“ Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and their collaborators have now made important progress toward solving this problem. In a study published in Nature Physics, the team demonstrated highly accurate control of several silicon spin qubits operating simultaneously.

Their experiments used an array of five qubits connected to a shared microwave control line. By identifying a major cause of errors during simultaneous operation, the scientists developed a technique to reduce those errors and maintain precision.

"This shows that high-fidelity control can be maintained even when several qubits are operated at the same time and represents an important step toward scaling up silicon-based quantum processors," โ€” Leon Camenzind, a RIKEN research scientist, said.

๐Ÿค‘ Ripple Receives Final OCC Approval to Establish National Trust Bank

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)
announced that Ripple has been granted final approval for chartering Ripple National Trust Bank (RNTB), a federally supervised national trust bank.

โœ… The approval marks the culmination of RNTBโ€™s organization process following conditional OCC approval in December 2025 and reinforces the company's longstanding commitment to building digital asset infrastructure within the regulated financial system.

โžก๏ธ RNTB's approved activities include managing the segregated reserves supporting Ripple USD (RLUSD), acting as collateral trustee of the reserves for the benefit of RLUSD holders, and providing fiduciary digital asset custody services.

โžก๏ธ RLUSD will continue to be issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company (SCTC), Ripple's New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS)-regulated limited purpose trust company.

โžก๏ธ RNTB adds federal OCC supervision to the regulatory infrastructure supporting RLUSD, reinforcing Ripple's commitment to building digital asset products within rigorous state and federal regulatory frameworks.

โ€œFor years, weโ€™ve said crypto and banks work better together. Final approval for Ripple National Trust Bank is what that looks like in practice,โ€ โ€” said Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple.

โ€œWeโ€™ve spent over a decade building regulated financial infrastructure that institutions can actually use at scale. A national trust charter gives us an even stronger foundation for RLUSD and the institutional products weโ€™re building across payments, custody and capital markets.โ€


Ripple will continue to work closely with the OCC, NYDFS, and other regulators as RNTB begins operations and as the U.S. implements the regulatory framework established by the GENIUS Act. ๐Ÿš€

โš”๏ธ Alibaba wins injunction against Pentagon contract restrictions tied to China blacklist

A US federal judge on Monday granted Alibaba Group Holding's request for a preliminary injunction, ordering the US government not to deny Pentagon โ€‹contracts to companies because they, their parent companies or subsidiaries do business with firms that engage in โ€Œlobbying activities for the e-commerce giant.

Alibaba sued the US government in June after the Pentagon added it to a list of companies allegedly aiding China's military, alongside internet search provider Baidu, EV maker BYD and other major Chinese manufacturing and technology firms.

Monday's ruling means Alibaba will be able โ€‹to retain US lobbyists who also represent Pentagon contractors.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿค‘ Nasdaq-100 comes onchain as Janus Henderson and Centrifuge launch first licensed fund

Janus Henderson is launching the first-ever licensed tokenized fund tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index, marking Wall Streetโ€™s latest push to bring traditional assets onto the digital ledger that underpins cryptocurrencies.

Janus will manage the new fund, which will trade under the ticker โ€œJQQQโ€ and run on technology provided by the tokenization firm Centrifuge. It is initially available to eligible non-U.S. professional investors on the Stellar network, a blockchain focused on tokenized assets. The fund has a minimum investment of $100,000.

โ€œBringing the Nasdaq-100 onchain with Janus Henderson and Centrifuge shows how far tokenization has come, from cash-equivalent assets to the benchmarks that define global equity markets,โ€ โ€” said Denelle Dixon, CEO & Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation.

โ€œStellar was purpose-built for regulated finance, and we expect many more products like this to follow.โ€ ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿค‘ What Links State Street to Stellar, Ripple and Hedera

State Street is one of the worldโ€™s largest custodial banks. It manages trillions in assets. And it is quietly building a tokenization infrastructure that runs across three distinct blockchain networks. Notably, Stellar, Ripple and Hedera are in the picture.

โ—๏ธCrypto researcher SMQKE published documentation connecting State Street to the XRP Ledger, Stellarโ€™s XLM network, and Hederaโ€™s HBAR network.

๐Ÿ“ The documentation comes from two sources. The first is a table detailing tokenized money market fund issuers and their blockchain selections. The second is a BCG analysis slide from October 2021 identifying State Street as a notable partner of Securrency.

Securrency is a tokenization platform headquartered in Washington, D.C. It raised $49.4 million in funding and operates across Ethereum, Stellar, Ripple, Gochain, and EOS. State Street is listed as one of its notable partners in the BCG analysis.

That partnership is significant. Securrencyโ€™s blockchain stack includes both the XRP Ledger and the Stellar network. Notably, Securrency has previously been highlighted as a potential path for XRP into the DTCC. State Streetโ€™s relationship with the platform connects the bank directly to both assetsโ€™ underlying infrastructure. ๐Ÿค

๐Ÿค‘ Ripple and Robinhood Partner to Power the Next Generation of Finance

Ripple and Robinhood, a global leader in financial services, today announced a strategic partnership that provides one of the industryโ€™s largest consumer and institutional trading platforms with a single, trusted entry point to Rippleโ€™s infrastructure across stablecoins, institutional markets and treasury management.

โ—๏ธRipple USD (RLUSD) will be a key stablecoin across Robinhoodโ€™s digital asset ecosystem, expanding access to the enterprise-grade stablecoin for both retail and institutional use.

๐Ÿ‘‰ RLUSD is live today on Robinhood Chain and Bitstamp by Robinhood, and is expected to be available later this year in the Robinhood app.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Robinhood will leverage RLUSD on the XRPL for institutional settlement, extending the stablecoinโ€™s utility across Bitstamp by Robinhoodโ€™s growing institutional business.

๐Ÿ‘‰ The relationship also spans Robinhoodโ€™s own financial operations: the company will integrate Ripple Treasury to modernize and automate its global treasury operations, including cash and liquidity management, cash flow forecasting, payments, risk management and intercompany netting.

๐Ÿ‘‰ The partnership also extends across institutional markets through Ripple Prime, building on an existing relationship between the companies across financing, liquidity and market access.

โ€œFrom bringing RLUSD to retail and institutional markets to helping Robinhood manage its own treasury operations, this partnership reflects growing institutional demand for integrated solutions that support customer-facing offerings and core financial operations,โ€ โ€” said Monica Long, president of Ripple.

๐Ÿค– OpenAI announces its AI models have made new major scientific discoveries

OpenAI has announced three AI-generated discoveries in mathematics, computer science and physics, with independent experts set to review the findings.

๐Ÿ”˜In mathematics, AI has reportedly proved the local smoothing conjecture, resolving two longstanding problems known as the Kakeya and Stein restriction conjectures.

๐Ÿ”˜In computer science, a new proof challenges the Exponential Time Hypothesis. Both results have been released publicly alongside formal verifications in Lean.

๐Ÿ”˜The physics breakthrough concerns existence proofs for four-dimensional quantum field theories, including QCD and Yangโ€“Mills. Nobel laureate David Gross will help oversee the review.
