Решение позволит предложить в ОАЭ трансграничные платежные сервисы, включая Ripple Payments Direct (RPD), — заявили представители компании.

Экосистема RippleNet использует технологию распределенного реестра и предназначена для работы с банками и финансовыми учреждениями как альтернативной системы для перемещения денег по всему миру.

В августе Минфин Республики Палау и администрация компания Ripple Labs сообщили о завершении первой фазы совместного проекта государственных платежей. Проект предусматривает интеграцию в платежную экосистему островного государства собственного стейблкоина Palau Stablecoin.

Pacific 'Fever': How Extreme Weather Becomes Wall Street's ATM?

"Pacific 'Fever': How Extreme Weather Becomes Wall Street's Piggy Bank" The article examines how the 2026-2027 El Niño, potentially the strongest since 1950, is not only disrupting global weather but also creating major financial opportunities. It links recent extreme events in China and worldwide to this climate phenomenon, which alters atmospheric patterns, increasing risks of floods, droughts, and heatwaves. The core narrative explores how financial markets capitalize on these disruptions. A hedge fund is raising $500 million specifically to bet on El Niño-affected crops like South African corn and Malaysian palm oil. Historically, such strategies have yielded massive profits. Examples include Richard Dennis ("Turtle Trader") making his first fortune in the 1970s soy boom triggered by El Niño's impact on Peruvian anchovies (a key fishmeal source), and Anthony Ward's cocoa empire built on superior weather intelligence. The 2024 cocoa price surge, driven by West African drought, enriched quantitative trend-following funds. Currently, markets are preemptively bidding up palm oil, rubber, and sugar futures based on anticipated future supply shocks, despite high current inventories. The article details El Niño's asymmetric global impacts: causing drought in Southeast Asia (hurting palm oil/rubber) and India (affecting sugar/cotton), but bringing beneficial rains to South American soy and sugarcane. Key metrics to watch include the Niño3.4 index, Indian monsoon data, and Malaysian palm oil stocks. The true price effects often materialize *after* the El Niño peaks, suggesting 2027 may see the real volatility. The conclusion warns that beyond trading gains, the convergence of El Niño, energy shortages, and fertilizer scarcity poses a systemic risk, potentially raising the cost of living for everyone, turning a climate event into a global economic story.

Just Now, OpenAI's Chief Futurist Departed, Once Called a Jackass by Musk

Just now, OpenAI's Chief Futurist, Joshua Achiam, announced his departure from the company via X. Having joined as a 25-year-old intern in 2017, he spent nine years at OpenAI, evolving from an AI safety research scientist to leading the Mission Alignment team. Earlier this year, that team was dissolved, and Achiam transitioned to the newly created role of Chief Futurist, positioned at the intersection of AI safety and policy to study AGI's long-term risks and opportunities. In his departure statement, Achiam called his time a "graduation," reflecting on the immense progress from AI that couldn't converse to systems solving scientific problems. He expressed optimism about a future of peace, prosperity, and possibility, closing with "To safe AGI." His tenure was notably marked by a 2018 incident where he publicly challenged Elon Musk—then still with OpenAI—on safety compromises if Musk pursued AGI at Tesla, leading Musk to call him a "jackass." This became an internal legend, with colleagues later giving him a trophy inscribed, "To safety, never stop being that jackass." Achiam's exit follows a pattern of prominent safety and alignment experts leaving OpenAI, including Jan Leike and others who joined rivals like Anthropic or started non-profits. His departure coincides with OpenAI's internal efforts to more tightly integrate its research and policy teams, and the recent hiring of former White House AI advisor Dean Ball. Achiam did not cite a specific reason for leaving but indicated it was a long-considered decision, stating the mission to ensure AGI benefits humanity can now be advanced beyond the "frontier lab's" walls.

Anthropic Drops $19 Billion to 'Sponsor' a Bitcoin Miner

On July 6, 2026, Bitcoin mining company TeraWulf (NASDAQ: WULF) saw its stock surge 15% pre-market following the announcement of a landmark 20-year agreement with AI giant Anthropic. The deal grants Anthropic 401 MW of IT load capacity at TeraWulf's "Justified Data" campus in Kentucky and is projected to generate approximately $19 billion in contracted revenue for the miner over its duration. On the same day, TeraWulf also sold its 50.1% stake in a Texas joint venture for about $530 million. This dual move signals a strategic pivot: divesting non-core assets to fund its fully-owned Kentucky project and shifting focus from cryptocurrency mining to becoming a specialized infrastructure provider for AI. The agreement highlights a key advantage for Bitcoin miners transitioning to AI: their pre-existing access to land and critical power grid capacity, which is becoming a major bottleneck for data center expansion. Unlike peers who operate AI clouds, TeraWulf is adopting a "landlord" model, leasing only the physical space and power for clients' own servers. However, a significant gap exists between the deal's announcement and revenue generation, with the first phase of the Kentucky site not operational until late 2027. The $19 billion figure represents a long-term bet on both TeraWulf's execution and Anthropic's financial durability in the capital-intensive AI race. The market's positive reaction reflects the growing value of fundamental infrastructure—secured land and reliable electricity—in the era of AI compute scarcity.

Securitize Drops 40% in First Week of Trading as Tokenization Industry Enters Patent Wars

The article discusses the recent stock performance of Securitize (NYSE: SECZ) and a looming patent war in the tokenization industry. Securitize, a leading tokenization platform and transfer agent for BlackRock's BUIDL fund, debuted on the NYSE via a SPAC merger on July 2. After an initial rise, its stock plummeted nearly 40% within a week, closing at $8.06 on July 7. Analysts attribute the sharp decline largely to typical post-SPAC investor turnover and broader pressure on crypto-related stocks, rather than fundamental business deterioration. Concurrently, Securitize faces significant legal challenges. On June 15, infrastructure rival tZERO accused Securitize of patent infringement concerning its core DS Protocol and Vault Registrar products. Securitize preemptively filed a lawsuit on June 22 seeking a declaratory judgment of non-infringement. tZERO, holding 105 patents, has indicated it has identified at least six other market participants for potential infringement actions, signaling a broader industry-wide patent conflict. A separate lawsuit was also filed by Liquid Rarity Exchange. The article concludes that while Securitize's stock drop may be a temporary SPAC-related correction, the patent disputes initiated by tZERO represent a more profound, long-term risk for the entire tokenization sector, potentially shifting competitive dynamics from business execution to intellectual property litigation.

After C罗's Farewell Tears, Polymarket Stages a 'Tear Verification' Drama

After Portugal's 1-0 loss to Spain in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16, 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo was seen visibly emotional on the pitch, with media widely reporting he was in tears. On the prediction market platform Polymarket, however, this event triggered a major settlement debate. The market for "Will Ronaldo cry at the World Cup?" had strict rules requiring clear, identifiable tears on his face in photos/videos taken on the pitch or bench. Following the match, the outcome was disputed as traders argued whether the visible moisture was tears or sweat/other factors, sending the "Yes" probability below 20% and the event into arbitration. The dispute centered on interpreting the evidence against precise market rules. However, in a reversal, Polymarket later issued a clarification stating that qualified photo and video evidence from the pitch showed Ronaldo with "visible tears on his face." This official ruling resolved the ambiguity, causing the "Yes" probability to surge above 99%. With over $22 million in volume, the event highlighted how Polymarket's arbitration can align outcomes with mainstream perception, rather than allowing rule technicalities to solely determine results.
