GTA 6 Is Nearly There,' Rockstar Says After a Week of Leaks

Rockstar Games broke its silence on the GTA 6 leaks on Wednesday, calling the past week heartbreaking for its team. The studio said the November 19 release date still stands.　　The message lands one day before a Netflix extended look that aims to reset the story. Take-Two Interactive stock closed at $232.93 on Tuesday, down 0.24%.　　Rockstar Apologizes as GTA 6 Leaks Spoil the Reveal　　The studio opened with an apology instead of a defense. Rockstar told players it never wanted them to see the game this way, and it thanked fans who sent messages of support.　　More telling, however, was a parenthetical aside about development progress.　　“We are very sorry that everything has taken as long as it has … from getting the game finished (nearly there!) to sharing more details and official gameplay.”　　That line is the clearest status update Rockstar has offered since the delay. Meanwhile, the studio admitted that spoilers may now dull the experience it designed.　　Rockstar also flagged a second slip. The extended look took longer to get ready than the team wanted, a rare hint at internal timing pressure.　　The leaks began on Aug. 18 and never let up. Clips showed protagonist Jason shooting hoops, flying a plane and triggering a

Quantum-Safe Crypto Pilot Launches on NEAR

Banks test quantum-safe digital asset wallets and transfers on NEARs testnet.MPC technology supports ML-DSA-65 signatures for post-quantum transaction security.Regulators assess governance, resilience and cross-border interoperability risks.　　Banks and regulators have launched a cross-regional pilot testing quantum-safe infrastructure for digital asset wallets and transfers on the NEAR testnet. The initiative aims to assess post-quantum cryptography, operational resilience, governance, and cross-border interoperability before quantum computing creates practical risks for existing financial systems.　　Banks Test Post-Quantum Digital Asset Transfers　　The Responsible Fintech Institute (RFI) launched the pilot with Safeheron as its technology partner. Bison Bank and DK Bank will test wallet generation and on-chain transfers through a shared application environment. Regulators from Abu Dhabi, Bhutan, and Malta will initially observe the technical work.　　The pilot uses a multi-party computation (MPC) protocol supporting ML-DSA-65, a signature standard established under NISTs FIPS 204 framework. MPC lets multiple parties sign transactions without reconstructing a complete private key in one location.　　Testing will take place on the quantum-resistant NEAR testnet rather than the public network.　　Therefore, the exercise does not indicate that current quantum computers can compromise NEAR, participating banks, or customer assets. Instead, it provides a controlled environment for testing future security standards.　　Chia Hock Lai, chairman of RFI, said, “No single bank,

It's Nvidia Day: Watch the biggest company on earth report earning live at the bell

13:00　　Nvidia needs more than another beat as Wall Street raises the bar ahead of earnings　　Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) heads into Wednesdays after-hours report with a problem most companies would happily take: it has performed so well that simply delivering another strong quarter is no longer enough.　　Despite clearing or beating Wall Street‘s key markers of earnings, sales, and guidance for the past four quarters in a row, shares of the world’s biggest company ended down the next day after each report.　　The one and only weakness of this run was the second quarter from last year, where Nvidias forecast met the consensus estimates rather than topping them.　　That pattern of results has changed how analysts perceive the forecasts of the firm. To put it simply, a positive-looking estimate can fall short despite being favorable if Wall Street believes the actual number will be even better in the end.　　That task is even harder to perform because Nvidia is responsible for a large portion of the AI investment boom all over the globe right now. The firm is not only the leading provider of the needed hardware but plays an increasing financial role in the whole ecosystem as well.　　For the second quarter, analysts tracked by FactSet

Tokenized deposits could raise borrowing costs, Fed economists warn

Tokenized deposits could reduce U.S. banks capacity to hold long-term interest-rate exposure by $700 billion under one modeled scenario, according to research published Aug. 25 by Dallas Fed economists Rosie Levy and Srini Ramaswamy.　　SummaryDallas economists estimate 10% greater rate sensitivity could reduce banks duration capacity by $700 billion.A 10% shorter deposit life could reduce maturity transformation capacity by approximately $580 billion systemwide.The estimates measure ten-year equivalent interest-rate exposure, not deposits predicted to leave banking institutions directly.Tokenization may let depositors and AI agents move funds instantly toward banks offering higher yields.Banks could respond with higher deposit rates, larger liquidity buffers or additional wholesale debt issuance.　　The figure does not represent $700 billion of deposits expected to leave banks or an equivalent guaranteed decline in lending. It measures a possible reduction in banks duration risk appetite, expressed as the equivalent exposure to ten-year Treasury securities.　　The authors also stated that their views should not be attributed to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas or the Federal Reserve System.　　You might also like:　　What is a tokenized deposit？ Bank money goes on-chain　　Tokenized deposits could make bank funding less stable　　Tokenized deposits are ordinary commercial bank deposits represented on a blockchain or another distributed ledger.

Shipyard winds down IPFS work after Protocol Labs ends funding

InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) maintainer Shipyard will wind down its engineering, maintenance and infrastructure operations on Sept. 30 after Protocol Labs declined to renew its funding.　　The funding loss will leave projects including Kubo, Helia, Boxo, Rainbow, IPFS Desktop and IPFS Companion without dedicated maintainers, Shipyard said in a Monday blog post.　　IPFS is an open-source protocol for storing and sharing data across peer-to-peer networks. Protocol Labs is a research and development organization that created IPFS and Filecoin, a blockchain network designed to incentivize decentralized data storage.　　The engineering collective will cease operating public infrastructure, including ipfs.io, dweb.link, delegated-ipfs.dev and the IPFS bootstrap nodes. Protocol Labs owns the associated domains and infrastructure and will determine their future, according to Shipyard.　　IPFS itself is not shutting down, but Shipyards wind-down removes dedicated stewardship from many popular implementations and services unless other maintainers take them over.　　Protocol Labs engineering and research lead Molly Mackinlay said in an online forum discussion that IPFS would shift to “lighter-weight stewardship” through IPFS Foundation grants to individual maintainers. She added that development would continue on decentralized public infrastructure.　　Shipyard was established in 2024 as an independent collective of longtime IPFS developers who previously worked at Protocol Labs.　　Related: BNB Chain activates Pasteur hard

Supply absorption ‘key question’ as Bitcoin fails to reclaim $80K: Analysis

Bitcoin (BTC) remains sensitive to sell-side pressure at $80,000, even as investors broadly avoid mass profit-taking.　　Key points:Bitcoin investors unrealized profit and loss crosses above zero for all cohorts, apparently slowing price momentum.Long-term holders see a spike in profitability to 1.48, while short-term holders still account for the majority of in-profit coins moving onchain.The Coinbase premium fails to return to positive territory at -0.015, underscoring lackluster US demand.　　Older Bitcoin investors reactivate around 14-week highs　　Data from onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant reveals that older coins in particular moved onchain as BTC/USD gained more than 25% over the past week.　　The spent output profit ratio (SOPR), which is the ratio of the current value of recently spent UTXOs to their value at creation, ticked up to 1.48 on Aug. 22, indicating increased onchain activity involving in-profit coins.　　Bitcoin LTH-SOPR. Source: CryptoQuant　　As price consolidated around $79,500, the so-called SOPR ratio, which divides the SOPR of short-term holders (STH) by that of long-term holders (LTHs), hit 1.4, its highest reading since July 25. STH and LTH refer to wallets that hold BTC without selling for up to six months (STH) or longer than six months (LTH).　　“This suggests long-term holders were realizing profits at a higher relative rate than

Kraken Review 2026: Fees, Proof of Reserves and Safety

Kraken is one of the oldest major crypto exchanges still operating, with a reputation built less on rapid token listings or extreme leverage than on security, fiat access and regulatory coverage.　　That positioning is still relevant in 2026. Kraken has MiCA authorization in Europe, publishes independently verified proof of reserves and says its exchange-managed custodial wallets have never been breached. But there is now a more obvious downside: Kraken Pro became expensive for low-volume spot traders after its July 2026 fee changes.　　For users choosing between Kraken and lower-cost offshore exchanges, the trade-off is increasingly clear. Kraken offers stronger regulatory and security credentials, but users may pay considerably more for them.Kraken Pro is no longer a low-fee option for casual traders　　On July 9, 2026, Kraken introduced new cross-platform fee tiers. The entry Kraken Pro spot tier now charges:0.40% maker0.80% taker　　The rate falls as either 30-day spot trading volume or eligible assets held on Kraken increase. At $2,500 in monthly volume, rates fall to 0.30% maker and 0.60% taker; at $10,000, they fall to 0.22% and 0.38%.　　That makes Kraken unusually expensive at the entry level compared with exchanges advertising spot fees around 0.10% or below.　　A $5,000 market order at the base 0.80% taker

BingX Review 2026: Copy Trading, Fees and Hot-Wallet Risk

BingX has built much of its identity around copy trading. Alongside ordinary spot markets, it offers perpetual futures, grid tools and a large marketplace where users can automatically follow other traders.　　That makes the platform unusually accessible to active retail traders. It also creates a particular type of risk: copying a trader can make a leveraged strategy look simpler without making it safer.　　BingX also has a recent security incident to account for. In September 2024, unauthorized access to a hot wallet forced the exchange to suspend deposits and withdrawals while it moved assets and rebuilt wallet services. BingX later restored services and has continued publishing proof-of-reserves data.　　For experienced traders, BingX offers a useful combination of copy trading, derivatives and automation. For beginners, the biggest danger is not necessarily the exchanges 0.10% spot fee—it is following high-return traders without understanding leverage, drawdown and liquidation.Copy trading is the real BingX differentiator　　Most large exchanges now offer spot and perpetual futures. BingX stands out more clearly through the prominence it gives to copy trading.　　Users can select a trader, review performance statistics and automatically reproduce trades according to their own allocation settings. Depending on the product, copying can be based on a fixed amount or a

TON Price Prediction: Dead Cat or Coiled Spring？ $1.57 Is the Line in the Sand

James Ding　　Aug 26, 2026 08:44　　TON is trading at $1.60 with momentum sitting at a knife-edge inflection — a MACD histogram pinned at zero screams decision time. Hold $1.57 and bulls can gun for $1.67–$1.75 over the next two week…　　TONs Technical Reality Check　　Lets be blunt: TON is trapped in a bear compression zone, and the charts are sending a very specific warning to anyone not paying attention. Price at $1.60 sits below every meaningful moving average except the 200-day SMA at $1.55 — which, for now, is acting as the gravitational floor. The SMA 50 at $1.78 and SMA 20 at $1.64 are both stacked overhead like a descending ceiling, confirming the broader trend is still down from prior highs.　　But here‘s where it gets interesting. The MACD histogram has flatlined at exactly zero — both the MACD and Signal lines converging at -0.0491. That’s not weakness; thats a coiled spring. When histogram momentum crosses from negative to positive, even fractionally, it typically signals early institutional re-accumulation. Meanwhile, the Stochastic is quietly flashing a potential bullish crossover, with %K at 37 printing above %D at 29 — the kind of setup that precedes short-squeeze bounces in low-liquidity alts.
