The DTCC just confirmed its tokenization service soft launch will occur via a ONE-DAY event for test cases on July 15th, operating across TWO blockchains with traditional assets to showcase interoperability.
This is not a pilot test but a full scale implementation of all the post trade inventory, roughly $150 trillion! There only a few blockchains participating so it likely means many trillions of dollars coming onto the Stellar Blockchain and digitized assets. XLM is expected to become part of this by mid-2027.

πThis Sodium Battery From China Matched Tesla in a Surprising Head-to-Head Test
A commercially available sodium-ion battery from Hina, already used in cars and large-scale energy storage systems in China, has achieved manufacturing quality and performance levels comparable to Teslaβs lithium-ion batteries, according to research published in the Cell Press journal Cell Reports Physical Science.
Sodium offers several potential advantages over lithium because it is far more abundant and easier to source worldwide. The study also found that sodium-ion batteries maintain strong performance under heavy loads in cold conditions, making them promising candidates for stationary energy storage as well as vehicles operating in colder climates.

For NASAβs next generation of deep space exploration missions, spacecraft may need to refuel in Earth orbit before pushing farther into the solar system. Engineers from NASAβs Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and L3Harris con-duct operational testing on a developmental cryocoupler, a vital technology for future in-orbit spacecraft refueling.
Cryocouplers would allow spacecraft to connect to future orbital propellant depots, which would serve as the gas stations of space. The technology comes with the challenge of reliably transferring cryogenic, or super-cold, fluids without losing propellant or performance.
βThese propellant transfers are essential for the kinds of missions NASA wants to fly in the future, so developing a coupler that can handle ultra-cold propellants is a critical step toward making that capability real,β said Travis Belcher, cryocoupler project manager at NASAβs Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

IBM joined OpenAIβs Daybreak Cyber Partner Program to launch a security solution that uses advanced AI models to detect code vulnerabilities and help companies fix them before they become problems.
The application security service builds on Project Lightwell, an initiative IBM launched last month to secure open source software used across enterprise supply chains. IBM and Red Hat have committed $5 billion to fund the project, which deploys engineers and AI tools to patch, validate, and manage open source code.
OpenAIβs models will work alongside other AI systems within Project Lightwell for code review and remediation tasks. IBM has described the initiative as an enterprise security clearinghouse staffed by a global engineering team.

Join us as we level-up our collective healing with a training course for facilitators and moderators of healing sessions and epiphany / healing calls.
Whether holding space in person or anchoring the community online, the presence of a strong facilitator is the heartbeat
The way a session is facilitated can be the difference between a participant just going through the motions, and someone actually experiencing true, deep-seated healing and Stellar epiphanies
By refining our approach to Stellar healing, we are equipping an entire fleet of decentralized nodes, ensuring our collective impact spreads seamlessly across the community, while also preventing burnout from those who are here to serve.
Helping a single individual heal is a breakthrough that ripples outward, transforming the entire lattice!

For decades, magnons have shown enormous promise for quantum technologies, but one critical limitation has kept them from practical use: they disappear almost as soon as they form. Now, an international team of physicists led by Andrii Chumak at the University of Vienna has increased magnon lifetimes by nearly two orders of magnitude, from just a few hundred nanoseconds to as long as 18 microseconds, almost 100 times longer than any previously observed value.
Magnons are quasiparticles that represent a wave of coordinated electron spin flips in a magnetic material.
Magnons begin to resemble long-lived, dependable carriers of quantum information, similar in function to the superconducting qubits used in many leading quantum processors today. The breakthrough could ultimately help enable highly compact quantum computers, potentially no larger than a 1-cent coin. The findings were published in Science Advances.

Asset manager, Invesco is preparing to launch a tokenized fund to serve the fast-growing stablecoin market, the latest sign that traditional asset managers are racing to manage the reserves backing digital dollars.
The filing named tokenization specialist Superstate as sub-transfer agent. Superstate will maintain a blockchain-integrated shareholder registry, combining traditional fund records with onchain tokens representing ownership. The filing said the fund will operate on a public blockchain, though it does not yet identify the network.
That move placed Invesco alongside firms such as BlackRock, Franklin Templeton and Fidelity that have embraced tokenized money market funds as a way to modernize how traditional assets are issued, transferred and settled using blockchain rails.

BMW Group has expanded its use of Physical AI in manufacturing by introducing the next-generation Figure 03 humanoid robot at its Spartanburg plant in the US. Building on the successful deployment of Figure 02, the new robot will handle complex sequencing tasks in logistics as part of the automakerβs push toward AI-driven production.
βOur 11-month deployment of Figure 02 proved that humanoids are no longer lab experiments β they can be a valuable asset in establishing a flexible, reliable manufacturing workforce,β said Brett Adcock, Founder and CEO of Figure AI

The proposed tax measure, which would require billionaires to pay a one-time tax equal to 5% of their net worth, will appear on the ballot in November after opponents, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, failed to cut a deal with the union behind it before the June 25 deadline.
Now the 200-plus billionaires in California β which has more of them than any other state and most countries β are facing the reality that the tax could become law.
The so-called billionaire tax is among the highest-profile ballot efforts in the US this year taking aim at rising wealth disparities, and is set to be one of the stateβs most contentious ballot initiatives. It has already spurred tech moguls to pour millions of dollars into attempts to stop the proposal.

In the X post, Stellar Rippler claimed that Ripple is now βcapturing SWIFT liquidity,β pointing to what the author described as increasing integration between the blockchain company and the traditional banking system.
Responding to a question about how much of SWIFT the XRP Ledger could eventually take, Garlinghouse said he focuses less on messaging and more on liquidity because, in his view, controlling liquidity is what ultimately benefits XRP.
βοΈ He explained that banks own the liquidity moving through the financial system and concluded by estimating that Ripple could capture 14% of SWIFTβs liquidity within five years. The projection aligns with previous public remarks in which Garlinghouse suggested Ripple could secure a meaningful share of the cross-border payments market over time.
Building on those comments, Stellar Rippler stated that Ripple could reach that milestone sooner than the CEOβs original timeline, saying it could happen βway before 2030.β
