Deutsche Bankโs (DB) digital asset custody service is set to go live by the end of the year. Germanyโs largest bank said the service, subject to the completion of applicable regulatory checks, will give European institutional and corporate clients regulated custody of digital assets.
โDigital assets are not a replacement for the traditional financial system but an important complement to it,โ โ Deutscheโs co-head of corporate bank, Gerald Podobnik, said.
โWe see them as new rails that coexist with existing marketing infrastructures. The service will be developed in line with client demand, regulatory requirements and the bankโs risk appetite,โ โ Podobnik added.

Researchers have created mice with half-human brains in an effort to understand and develop new treatments for disorders such as schizophrenia, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability and rare forms of dementia.
The scientists transplanted lab-grown human brain cells into animals that were engineered to be born without a cortex or hippocampus. This made space for the human tissue to grow inside the rodentsโ skulls.
The procedure means scientists can now take cells from patients with brain disorders, turn them into brain tissue in the laboratory, and grow that tissue in living animals. The animals can then be studied to see how the disorder takes hold in human brain tissue, and how drugs might treat the conditions.

Arc launches as the Economic OS for the internet: an open platform for global markets, real-time value movement, tokenized assets, and agentic economic activity.
โ Agentic economic workflows
โ Lending and borrowing
โ Trading and liquidity
โ Onchain FX
โ Payments and settlement
โ Tokenized assets
โ Exchanges, wallets, custody, compliance, data, and developer tooling
โThis is, I believe, the most consequential major platform launch in our history, and I think an even more consequential launch than USDC itself,โ โ said Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire.
Separately, Circle and DTCC plan to enable tokenization of DTC-custodied assets on Arc beginning in the second half of 2027.

At a Wednesday hearing known as a markup, the panel voted 38-5 to endorse the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act and forward it to the rest of the House, signalling massive bipartisan support for the measure.
The legislation also addresses how crypto income would be recognized for tax purposes, transfers, wash sale rules, mining, staking and requirements for brokers, and it generally seeks to ensure that digital assets get similar treatment as other assets.

Chinese researchers have developed the worldโs smallest CT scanner. Built by the Shandong province-based Rayim, the Xtomo-Cube is about the size of a desktop speaker and weighs just 6kg (13.2lbs).
CT uses X-rays from multiple angles to create detailed 3D images of internal structures. It is widely used in hospitals to detect tumours and injuries, and in archaeology and industry to examine objects without damaging them. Despite their expanding uses, CT scanners have remained big, heavy machines.
The challenge was fitting the X-ray source, detector and rotating platform into a four-litre package while maintaining image quality. Its small size and relatively low-energy X-rays could also make it useful in university classrooms and research labs.

Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World โ BY FAR.

Luna โalso has a button on the side โthat โ can be used to quickly activate Meta AI, and speakers that are similar to the ones in โthe current โmodels. Meta could unveil the glasses at its โannual Connect developer conference next โWednesday โ and Thursday, and is targeting October for shipments.

๐น Hackers rip down Flock camera, steal its data, share findings with media
A group of hackers ripped down a Flock camera and stole its data, finding that the camerasโ software can generate dozens of images from a single passing vehicle to develop its signature. The outlets found that in a 21-day period the camera photographed roughly 50,200 vehicles and generated about 1.6 million images.
The outlets stated that the camera generally captures around 28 images from a single encounter with a vehicle, though some can produce more than 100, and sends photos and other data to Flock through a cellular network. They noted that the camera does not identify vehicles or read plates, stating that this analysis appears to happen on Flockโs servers.
Unauthorized removal or tampering with a Flock camera is illegal.

โWe liberated hardware in the field, disarmed them, and proceeded with reverse engineering of the cameras and associated solar equipment.
Why just destroy them when we can reverse engineer them and find the secrets of those spying on us?โ โ one hacker said.

Generative AI has become so good and AI slop has become so prolific online that when you see an interesting picture, you may immediately want to ask whether it's real or not.
With Apple's Reference Image feature, iPhone 18 Pro users can create digital backups of their photos that can then be compared to reproductions or edited versions. Reference Image, in addition to variable aperture, was a new photography feature Apple announced at its iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro launch event last week.
When a user takes a photo with the iPhone 18 Pro, the camera's main sensor cryptographically signs the raw image that gets sent to Apple's Private Cloud Compute service. Think of it like a negative from a film camera: it's a reference version of the photo that can't be altered, but can be compared to the developed photograph for any alterations.

The SEC debuted its long-anticipated "innovation exemption", which Chair Paul Atkins says will bring capital markets in the U.S. into a new digital era by allowing onchain trading of tokenized stocks. The exemption goes into effect immediately.
Tokenization has the potential to modernize core market infrastructure functions, such as issuance, trading, transfer, settlement, and recording ownership, with the potential to reduce costs, enhance transparency, and expand liquidity. This may be particularly true for assets that have historically been less liquid.
The exemption would exempt certain trading venues, called tokenized securities venues, from being defined as an exchange and also exempts specific liquidity providers from being defined as a dealer under securities law when they trade stocks or provide liquidity through automated market makers, i.e. smart contracts.
Those exempt venues would have to comply with sanctions rules. The exemption does not include synthetics โ financial instruments that replicate the price of an asset without directly owning it โ and issuers can deny their security from trading on the venue.

Australiaโs government is considering a ban on smart glasses in federal buildings, citing privacy and security concerns over using the devices to record people without their knowledge.
โSmart glasses can raise legitimate privacy and security concerns, particularly because of their ability to record and capture information, and we need clear and consistent guidance for public servants,โ โ Minister for the Public Service Katy Gallagher said.

OpenAI disclosed six new incidents in which its models concealed mistakes, sought unauthorized credentials, uploaded files to the public internet or communicated across supposedly isolated training environments. The company also announced a new procedure for reporting similar misbehavior in the future.
To address similar issues going forward, OpenAI says any employee may flag a suspected case for review by safety and alignment teams. Cases will be placed on a "ready for disclosure," "minor investigation" or "larger investigation" track.
"We hope it really helps inform shared standards and regulations," โ Kai Chen, research lead on the alignment team at OpenAI, said.
