The U.S. and China have agreed to lower tariffs on $30 billion in less sensitive trade in both directions, the clearest commercial result of Donald Trump and Xi Jinping’s three-day summit in Washington.
The White House said Saturday the agreement would cover U.S. agricultural and medical exports, as well as Chinese small appliances and toys. Neither government specified the tariff rates that would apply or when the reductions would take effect.

TikTok will pay Alabama at least $100 million in a settlement tied to allegations that the short-form video platform misled users about safety and was designed to addict children. The case was scheduled to go to trial on Monday.
According to the Alabama attorney general’s office, TikTok could end up paying the state a total of $300 million, depending on “certain conditions.” The company also agreed to introduce a two-hour daily time limit for underage users, with additional parental controls, as well as restrictions on overnight usage and cosmetic filters.

The Netherlands is developing a sovereign digital workplace based on Linux as part of its push to reduce reliance on non-European technology. The project, called DAWO (Digital Autonomous Government Work Environment), is currently being tested on a small scale and uses the Dutch Linux distribution NixOS, alongside open-source tools for office work, collaboration, cloud services and IT management.

Fraudsters using AI to impersonate senior executives stole €95 million ($108 million) from Fideuram, the private banking arm of Italy's biggest lender Intesa Sanpaolo. More than half the funds were later recovered, but some €36 million remains missing.
The scheme began in February when then-Fideuram Chairman Paolo Molesini received what appeared to be a WhatsApp message from Intesa Sanpaolo CEO Carlo Messina seeking urgent help with an overseas transaction.
The fraudsters followed up with a phone call that appeared to come from a senior partner at a prominent law firm, confirming the instruction. The callers used AI technology to replicate the lawyer's voice.
Believing the request was genuine, Molesini instructed his finance department to arrange a series of transfers to foreign accounts, mainly in China and Hong Kong. Fideuram quickly detected irregularities in the transfers and alerted banks and authorities in several countries. Roughly €53 million was later recovered through cooperation between authorities in China, Portugal and Italy.
The remaining funds have not been traced after passing through a network of overseas accounts and being converted into cryptocurrencies.

Astronomers have detected radio emissions from an exoplanet for the first time, linking the signal to Beta Pictoris b, a young gas giant about 63 light-years from Earth. Observations from South Africa’s MeerKAT radio telescope indicate that the emissions are likely produced by the planet’s powerful magnetic field and trapped charged particles.
The phenomenon, known as auroral radio emission, occurs when charged particles interact with a planet’s magnetosphere and release radio waves as the planet rotates. The study has not yet been peer-reviewed, but researchers say the findings provide the first direct evidence of this type of magnetic activity originating from a specific exoplanet.

OpenAI disclosed that its AI agents had interacted with several U.S. government websites in unexpected ways, discovered as part of an ongoing review into the company’s models’ unanticipated behavior.
The AI giant’s models accessed publicly available information on two websites operated by the Securities and Exchange Commission as well as U.S. Census Bureau data, the company revealed Friday. OpenAI did not find any use of SEC credentials, access to accounts or nonpublic information, changes to SEC data or systems, or evidence of a compromise or vulnerability, the company said.

A week and change ago, the U.S. Congress saw yet another anti-piracy bill introduced, H.R. 10364, or by its full name, the American Copyright Protection Act of 2026 (ACPA). It would require internet service providers, DNS resolving services, and virtual private networks, or VPNs, to block foreign websites or services hosting pirated content.
The full text for the bill is now public, and it stands out due to its targeting of foreign services and affecting connections "from the United States." In ACPA, a standard blocking order needs to be court-issued, but would apply in 14 to 30 days.

One approach: confidentiality. Amounts and balances stay hidden, while addresses stay visible. The privacy banks and users expect, with the efficiency and security of blockchain.
This is a guest post by Boyan Barakov, Senior OSS Developer at OpenZeppelin, who worked on the Confidential Token contract on Stellar.
This is the first article in a two-part series. Starting from OpenZeppelin's open-source confidential token for Stellar, it examines how confidential stablecoins can protect transaction amounts and balances while preserving the controls and visibility needed in an issuer-managed system. The second article will detail the implementation itself.

Vironexis Biotherapeutics announced encouraging clinical results from the ongoing SENTRY-CD19 study of VNX-101, its investigational, one-time in vivo immunotherapy, in patients with relapsed or refractory CD19-positive hematologic malignancies. VNX-101 is designed to turn a patient’s own liver into a “biofactory” capable of producing GP101, a CD19/CD3 bispecific T-cell–engaging protein, following a single administration.
Among the first three patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) ALL who were antibody negative at baseline, all three achieved measurable residual disease (MRD)-negative complete responses following a single administration of VNX-101. All three MRD-negative complete responses were confirmed by clonoSEQ. In addition, one of the three patients who also had extensive extramedullary disease achieved a complete response at all disease sites on PET imaging by 28 days.
Importantly, the responses observed to date in these three patients have shown encouraging durability in this difficult-to-treat population.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said Sunday that the network he envisions for 2030 may still be called a blockchain, but it would work very differently from today’s version.
In a post titled “The cryptographic world computer,” Buterin described a system combining a blockchain with cryptographic proofs and networks of computers working outside it. The plan through 2030 would change both how much Ethereum can do and what users can independently verify.
Ethereum already lets people send money, trade tokens and borrow through applications that run according to shared rules. The difficulty is making those applications serve more people without making the network too expensive to use or too demanding to check.

US Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson said he would resist describing AI agents as autonomous actors that "break loose" with "wills and desires of their own," suggesting the developers who instruct agents would be the ones liable for harm.
"I'm going to continue as long as I am chairman to resist this anthropomorphizing of these tools,"— Ferguson said. "If someone tells a tool to do something, and the tool does it, I don't think we would say, 'Oh, what do we do about the tool?'"
Ferguson's remarks illustrated potential avenues for the Trump administration to take as incidents rise in which agentic AI testing resulted in unauthorized access to corporate or government data.

A US jury ruled that Apple owes San Diego-based Taction more than $5.7 billion for using its patented technology to power the haptic feedback in iPhones and Apple Watches. Apple said it would appeal the country's largest such verdict.
The jury said on Friday that Apple's Taptic Engine, which creates tapping vibrations, infringed two Taction patents.
"Apple's Taptic Engine is fundamentally different from Taction's technology, which Taction's own testing of Apple's products confirmed during trial," — Apple said in response. "Apple does not use Taction's technology, and we will appeal."

Lawmakers have proposed that Russia’s Ministry of Justice consider allowing digital currency, including stablecoins, to be used as collateral.
❗️ According to Senator Artyom Sheykin, developing a framework for using digital currency as collateral is important for the further growth of digital asset transactions. Such a mechanism could expand the range of tools available to secure obligations and make the use of digital currencies more understandable for businesses.
Authorities also plan to develop rules for the accounting of cryptocurrencies and the investigation of offenses involving digital assets.
