    All of Trump’s Pardons of Prominent Crypto Figures—So Far

    Donald Trump used his pardon power to reshape the federal approach to crypto enforcement in 2025, clearing several of the most high-profile defendants the industry has had to date. The moves signaled a political shift in Washington and raised questions about how the United States would police digital assets during Trump’s second term. “Politics drove this case,” Trump said on Truth Social while announcing his first pardon, calling the government’s past actions “ridiculous.” The statement capture...

    Emerge's 2025 Tech Trend of The Year: Quantum Computing Stopped Being Background Noise

    When scientists at Caltech flicked on their new neutral-atom quantum array in September, the quantum machine broke a threshold many scientists thought was years away. For the first time, researchers successfully trapped 6,100 atomic qubits in a single system and maintained coherence in a way that pushed quantum hardware past the “toy demo” stage. What happened in that lab meant large-scale, error-corrected quantum hardware is no longer a distant aspiration but a credible possibility. And for dig...

    Emerge's 2025 'Person' of the Year: Ani the Grok Chatbot

    When Ani arrived in July, she didn’t look like the sterile chat interfaces that had previously dominated the industry. Modeled after Death Note’s Misa Amane—with animated expressions, anime aesthetics, and the libido of a dating-sim protagonist—Ani was built to be watched, wanted, and pursued. Elon Musk signaled the shift himself when he posted a video of the character on X with the caption, “Ani will make ur buffer overflow.” The post went viral. Ani represented a new, more mainstream species o...

    Cardano's Hoskinson Warns Crypto Becoming Post-Quantum Will Require Trade-Offs

    As blockchain developers debate protocol updates to counter possible future quantum attacks, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said the central issue is timing and not what changes to make, warning that moving too soon could carry a high cost for blockchain networks. According to Hoskinson, the cryptographic tools needed to protect blockchains from future quantum attacks already exist, pointing to post-quantum standards released by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2024....

    OpenAI, Microsoft Sued Over ChatGPT's Alleged Role in Connecticut Murder-Suicide

    In the latest lawsuit targeting AI developer OpenAI, the estate of an 83-year-old Connecticut woman sued the ChatGPT developer and Microsoft, alleging that the chatbot validated delusional beliefs that preceded a murder-suicide—marking the first case to link an AI system to a homicide. The lawsuit, filed last week in California Superior Court in San Francisco, accused OpenAI of "designing and distributing a defective product" in the form of GPT-4o, which reinforced the paranoid beliefs of Stein-...

    Bitcoin Has Entered a Bear Market, Say Analysts—Here's Why

    Bitcoin demand weakened in recent months as ETF holdings fell, large investors accumulated more slowly, and derivatives indicators declined, according to data by CryptoQuant. In a report released Friday, the analytics firm said Bitcoin demand fell below its long-term trend in early October, a shift it said historically signaled a bear market. “Since 2023, Bitcoin has experienced three-spot demand waves, driven by the U.S. spot ETF launch in January 2024, the Trump presidential election win, and...

    Solana, Aptos Move to Harden Blockchains Against Future Quantum Attacks

    As quantum computing shifted from distant theory to a practical risk in 2025, Solana developers say they have begun testing quantum-resistant cryptography to prepare for a future in which today’s technology may no longer hold up. On Tuesday, the Solana Foundation said it had worked with post-quantum security firm Project Eleven to evaluate whether Solana’s cryptographic systems could hold up against future quantum computers, amid growing concern that advances in quantum computing could eventuall...

    Charles Hoskinson: Trump Crypto Ventures Have Been 'Frustrating'—But Others Won't Talk About It

    Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson says there’s a lot about President Donald Trump’s approach to cryptocurrency, including the president’s own personal ventures in the industry, that’s been “frustrating,” but others in the industry are afraid to talk about it. “It’s the third rail. You can’t mention anything about it,” Hoskinson told Decrypt in an interview. When President Donald Trump launched his own meme coin earlier this year, just days before his return to the White House, the move risked un...

  • What is Ethereum (ETH)? A Beginner's Guide to the Smart Contract Blockchain

    Ethereum, the second-biggest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, is a blockchain-powered platform for creating decentralized applications (dapps). Ethereum is not just a cryptocurrency. It’s a global, decentralized network that enables smart contracts—self-executing programs on the blockchain—and decentralized applications, or dapps, that run without banks, governments, or big tech. When programmer Vitalik Buterin published a “whitepaper” in late 2013 proposing a new kind of blockchain—not just for mo...

    Fetch.ai Says Its AI Agents Will Overcome Online Retail Barriers Faced by Today’s Tools

    Autonomous AI agents have become increasingly proficient at searching and recommending shopping options, but most stop short of completing transactions. Fetch.ai said Thursday that it will roll out a payment system in 2026 designed to let AI agents execute purchases and deposits on a user’s behalf. The new feature set to launch in January addresses one of the largest barriers to wider adoption of agentic AI. While consumer-facing systems can suggest flights, hotels, or services, virtually all of...

Under the proposed settlement, Illusory would be barred from misrepresenting its security practices and required to implement a formal information-security program, submit to independent biennial security assessments, and return any recovered funds not already repaid to...

    Quantum Computing Unlikely to Impact Bitcoin, Crypto Prices in 2026: Grayscale

    Fears that quantum computers could undermine Bitcoin’s security are unlikely to affect crypto markets in 2026, investment firm Grayscale said in a new report that dismissed the technology’s near-term risk. In its 2026 Digital Asset Outlook, the asset manager called quantum computing a “red herring” for the year ahead, saying the technology posed a long-term cryptographic challenge but was not expected to influence the price of the crypto market in the coming year. “We believe that research and p...

    AI Helped Researchers Block a Virus Before Infection Began

    Most antiviral drugs target viruses after they have already slipped inside human cells. Researchers at Washington State University said they found a way to intervene earlier, identifying a single molecular interaction that viruses rely on to enter cells in the first place. The research, published in November in the journal Nanoscale, focused on viral entry, one of the least understood and most difficult stages of infection to disrupt, using artificial intelligence and molecular simulations to id...

    Transhumanism Branded a 'Death Cult' as Thinkers Clash Over Humanity's Future

    Transhumanism, a movement that seeks to defeat aging and death through technology, was sharply criticized during a recent debate between philosophers, scientists, and transhumanist advocates, who rejected the accusation as misguided and reactionary. The exchange took place Dec. 4 at the UK-based Institute of Art and Ideas’ “World’s Most Dangerous Idea” event, where neuroscientist and philosopher Àlex Gómez-Marín argued that the movement functions as a pseudo-religion—one that aims to eliminate t...

According to a report by Bloomberg, John Ameriks, Vanguard’s global head of quantitative equity, said Bitcoin lacked the cash flow and compounding characteristics the firm sought in long-term investments.
