Ripple CEO Calls Bond Settlement Slow, Eyes XRP Ledger Shift

Tech　　Ripple CEO Calls Bond Settlement Slow, Eyes XRP Ledger Shift　　Ripple CEO Calls Out Slow Bond Markets as XRP Ledger Pushes Toward Real-Time On-Chain Settlement　　Speaking on the Crypto in America show, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse called out bond settlement as one of traditional finances most outdated inefficiencies, it as slow, arcane, and broken.　　He suggested the shift to on-chain systems is inevitable, with the already well positioned to support that transition.　　To understand his point, it helps to look at how bond settlement works today. Even in modern finance, transferring a bond from seller to buyer is rarely instant, it typically takes one to two days, sometimes longer.　　The process moves through multiple intermediaries such as brokers, custodians, clearinghouses, and settlement agents, each adding layers of time, cost, and potential for error. Reconciliations are often still manual, and the system ultimately relies on legacy infrastructure that was never built for todays pace of capital movement.　　Whats next？ Well, blockchain infrastructure shifts this entirely. On the XRP Ledger, settlement happens in seconds once a transaction is validated, cutting out the usual chain of institutional confirmations.　　Instead of multiple parties updating records one after another, the ledger acts as the single source of truth; once consensus is reached,

Microsoft (MSFT) Stock Gains as Xbox Discontinues Copilot AI Assistant

Microsoft Corporation, MSFT　　The strategic pivot comes as Xbox attempts to realign its priorities. According to Sharma, the gaming division must “move faster, deepen our connection with the community, and address friction for both players and developers.”　　Market participants seemingly welcomed the announcement, viewing the elimination of an expensive project and resource reallocation as prudent moves.　　Sharma simultaneously revealed organizational restructuring within Xbox, elevating current leadership while introducing fresh talent to guide the division through its transformation.　　The Xbox platform has faced mounting challenges in recent years.

Sharmas statements represent the most transparent admission to date that fundamental changes are necessary.　　Robust Financial Performance Supports Outlook　　While Xbox confronts headwinds, Microsofts overall financial performance remained impressive.

Core Scientific Buys Polaris Bitcoin Mine for $421M Oklahoma AI Power Expansion

Bitcoin　　Core Scientific Buys Polaris Bitcoin Mine for $421M Oklahoma AI Power Expansion　　This article first appeared in The Energy Mag. The original article can be viewed here. The Energy Mag (formerly The Miner Mag) provides news, data, and insights on the energy–compute–markets nexus.　　The company said Tuesday it plans to scale its Muskogee, Oklahoma campus to roughly 1.5 gigawatts of gross power, or about 1 gigawatt of leasable capacity, by combining acquisitions, grid expansion and behind-the-meter generation strategies.　　At the center of the expansion is Core Scientifics agreement to acquire Polaris DS LLC, a operator that controls 440 megawatts of contracted power through Oklahoma & Electric. The site is already energized and actively operating, allowing Core to potentially accelerate delivery timelines for future AI customers compared with greenfield developments that can take years to secure utility approvals and transmission access.　　The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions.　　The deal highlights how large campuses — originally built for energy-intensive cryptocurrency operations — are increasingly becoming strategic targets in the AI infrastructure race because they already possess scarce grid access, substations and high-capacity electrical infrastructure.　　Core Scientific said construction has already started on a second, currently

South Korea defends 22% crypto tax as fair amid calls to delay rollout

Crypto　　South Korea defends 22% crypto tax as fair amid calls to delay rollout　　South Koreas finance authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to launching a 22% tax on virtual asset gains in 2027, rejecting growing criticism from academics and industry participants who argue that the policy is inconsistent and unfair compared with the treatment of stock investors.　　The proposed crypto tax system has become a focal point of debate over fairness, classification, and system readiness.　　Under the proposal set to begin in January 2027, crypto profits will be taxed at 22% after a 2.5 million won annual exemption, with the rate composed of a 20% national tax and a 2% local tax.　　The policy comes at the same time that the government abolished the Financial Investment Income Tax on stock investors, prompting criticism that crypto investors are being disproportionately burdened and calls for rollout delay.　　At an emergency policy forum on virtual asset taxes on May 7, Moon Kyung-ho, head of the Income Tax Division at the Ministry of Economy and Finance maintained that the system is grounded in the principle that all income should be taxed where it arises and that there is no justification for delaying implementation, according to local media.　　Officials also firmly dismiss

From $60M failure to crypto scam cop: The reinvention of 0xSisyphus

In any other industry, the leader of a $60 million fraud would likely not be given a platform from which to lecture the public on dishonesty. In crypto, however, that type of experience commonly qualifies candidates for jobs as scam cops.　　Pseudonymous trader 0xSisyphus, whose AnubisDAO ended in catastrophic failure, losing roughly 13,556 ETH, then worth about $60 million, has rebuilt a 153,000-follower platform on X as a blockchain cop.　　Fortunately — for 0xSisyphus, at least — younger members of Crypto Twitter (CT) have never heard about Anubis.　　In October 2023, anonymous investigator NFT Ethics claimed that OpenSeas ex-Head of Ventures, Kevin Pawlak, was behind the account.　　In a thread on X, NFT Ethics alleged that Pawlak ran “various very dubious business dealings” including “pump & dump schemes” through that pseudonym, including trying to unload a stake in his failing AnubisDAO onto Sam Bankman-Frieds Alameda Research.　　At the time, the immensely popular NFT marketplace OpenSea said it was unaware of any such activities involving Pawlak and, anyway, described his role as non-managerial.　　Maybe not theft, but negligence and lying　　ZachXBT, the most prominent on-chain investigator in crypto, disagreed with parts of the NFT Ethics thread.　　Although he blamed 0xSisyphus for “gross negligence” and “lying,” he stopped short of

CRV Price Prediction: $0.30 Breakout Imminent as Whales Load Up

Market Context: Why CRV is Moving Now　　CRV has surged 2.75% to $0.25, breaking free from weeks of sideways action that trapped most traders in no-man‘s land. The token’s emergence comes as DeFi protocols reclaim institutional attention, with Curves dominant position in stable swaps attracting serious capital flows documented by Blockchain.news analysis of recent market shifts.　　Binance volume hitting nearly $3 million signals institutional accumulation rather than retail speculation. This breakout above $0.25 marks CRVs first meaningful technical victory in months, clearing the path toward $0.30-0.32 where previous selling pressure exhausted itself during earlier rallies.　　Technical Picture Aligns　　The indicators are telling a cohesive story that contradicts CRVs recent underperformance. RSI sits at 62.27, providing ample runway before overbought conditions kick in, while MACD momentum is building steadily without showing any bearish divergence patterns that typically derail breakout attempts.　　CRVs position above its short-term moving averages confirms the trend shift, though it remains 24% below the 200-day average at $0.33. This gap represents a massive technical vacuum that price tends to fill during sustained rallies. The clean break above $0.25 removes the primary obstacle between current levels and the next resistance cluster.　　Smart Money Positioning　　Whale positioning reveals the clearest bullish signal in months.
