NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Telescope blasts off. | Photo: NASA / John Kraus After funding struggles and a name change, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has been successfully launched. It will now make a three-month, one-million-mile journey to its orbit at the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point (L2) beyond the Moon. From this vantage point, Roman will conduct an unprecedented survey of the universe. Its field of view is 100 times larger than Hubble's and, according to NASA, it can survey the sky 1,000 times faster using its 300-megapixel infrared camera. Roman also has a Coronagraph system that can block and mask glare from stars, allowing it to directly image exoplanets, even smaller, older, and colder planets … Read the full story at The Verge.

Codex is off by as much as ten times the actual duration. They also rate their own work about 20 percentage points too high. For long, autonomous tasks, that creates a real problem with oversight.

Read original →Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news. Here's a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Friday (August 28) as of 10:00 p.m. UTC. Bitcoin price update Bitcoin price chart Ether and altcoin price update Today's crypto news to know Bitcoin price update Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$77,472.52, down by 3.7 percent over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin fell on Friday after US Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh delivered a hawkish Jackson Hole speech into a derivatives market that analysts had already flagged as more fragile than price action suggested. Friday also saw roughly US$6.4 billion in Bitcoin options expire on Deribit. According to Nicolai Sondergaard, senior research analyst at Nansen, that skew looked less like conviction and more like recent upside-chasing clustered around the US$75,000 to US$80,000 strikes. “ATM vol is still relatively cheap, which means the market is positioned for movement without paying heavily for a true tail event,” she wrote in a market note shared with the Investing News Network. Before the speech, Sondergaard noted Bitcoin was in a “classic tension state” — bullish long term, but with fading momentum, contracting open interest and crowded long funding. Conditions for a true breakout require Bitcoin to close above US$80,400 with expanding open interest, stable liquidity and lower yields, warning a hawkish signal would hit crowded longs. Without these, he viewed it as a fragile structure rather than a high-conviction breakout. Key factors to monitor include the sustainability of exchange-traded fund inflows in upcoming trading sessions, along with whether open interest begins to rebuild, indicating renewed market conviction, or continues to shrink, signaling ongoing de-risking across the market. The next major options expiry lands September 4, with meaningful open interest already built at the US$82,000 strike, the level several analysts have pointed to as the next real test. Bitcoin price chart Ether and altcoin price update Ethereum (ETH) was priced at US$2,433.33, trading 3.7 percent lower over the last 24 hours. XRP (XRP) was priced at US$1.38, down 6.1 percent over the past 24 hours. Solana (SOL) was trading at US$103.42, 5.2 percent higher over the past 24 hours. Today's crypto news to know Read on for a round-up of the biggest crypto market news: Bitfire Group expands RWA operator business SEC dismisses all claims against Live Ventures Charles Schwab to expand crypto offerings US banks form alliance to launch shared Blockchain network XRP treasury firm Evernorth gets approval for Nasdaq SPAC merger Bitfire Group expands RWA operator business Bitfire Group announced it is expanding its full-stack RWA operator business and launching Hong Kong’s first compliant crypto asset quantitative strategy. According to a press release shared with the Investing News Network, the initiative leverages RWAs to capture market-neutral arbitrage opportunities across AI-related assets and crypto assets, offering structured returns for professional and institutional investors while mitigating exposure to market volatility. Bitfire will focus on three main RWA areas: asset management, trading and market-making and custody. The firm has seen significant growth since its strategic pivot in August 2025, shifting away from traditional crypto trading models to focus on market-neutral yield and arbitrage strategies tied to tokenized RWAs. SEC dismisses all claims against Live Ventures The United States District Court for the District of Nevada has dismissed all Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) claims against Live Ventures. The SEC initiated its investigation in late 2017 and filed a lawsuit in August 2021, alleging that Live Ventures used an artificially low share count to inflate its fiscal year 2016 earnings per share (EPS) by 40 percent. The commission further alleged that the company recorded income from a backdated contract, boosting pre-tax income for fiscal 2016 by 20 percent, and that the CEO engaged a stock promoter to artificially stimulate investor interest. In February 2026, the Court denied the SEC’s motion for summary judgment, clearing the way for trial. “For nearly nine years, this company and its shareholders bore the financial burden and reputational impact of an SEC case that should never have been brought,” stated President and CEO Jon Isaac in a press release shared with INN. “We refused to settle because the company did nothing wrong, and we were unwilling to accept a compromise that implied wrongdoing simply to resolve the matter. The SEC deposed our team, reviewed tens of thousands of documents, and pursued this to the eve of trial—and today, all claims against the company have been fully dismissed.” Although Live Ventures faces no penalties, Isaac agreed to a consent judgment regarding individual claims, which includes a US$175,000 civil penalty. He admitted no liability and denied all allegations, noting that the agreement was reached to bring finality to the matter for the company. Charles Schwab to expand crypto offerings Schwab announced that it would expand its Schwab Crypt accounts to add trading in three new tokens: Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX) and Chainlink (LINK), on top of the Bitcoin and Ethereum trading it already offers “in the coming months.” Schwab began rolling out crypto trading to clients in May 2026, beginning with Bitcoin and Ethereum. “With this expansion, clients will have more choices to build a digital asset allocation alongside the investing and banking experience they know and trust at Schwab,” said Joe Vietri, the company’s head of digital assets. The move signals a growing appetite from traditional finance to broaden retail crypto access past the two largest tokens. US banks form alliance to launch shared Blockchain network Thirty-nine state banking associations representing 3,283 US banks formed the BankChain Alliance on August 25 to build an industry-owned blockchain network. The participating banking associations hold approximately US$21.8 trillion in collective assets. The group aims to launch the shared network in 2027 to support tokenized deposits, stablecoins, smart payments, and automated settlement. This infrastructure puts traditional banks closer to systems already associated with public payment networks like XRP Ledger and Stellar. The alliance clarified that while state associations represent these 3,283 banks, individual institutions have not yet committed to joining the network. The BankChain Alliance is currently selecting a technology partner and has not revealed its final blockchain architecture. XRP treasury firm Evernorth gets approval for Nasdaq SPAC merger Digital asset treasury firm Evernorth Holdings announced that the SEC declared its Form S-4 registration statement effective, clearing its path toward a public listing. The SEC approval covers Evernorth's proposed business combination with special purpose acquisition company Armada Acquisition Corp. II. The combined company plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol XRPN upon closing the merger in late Q3 or early Q4. Evernorth operates as a regulated vehicle that offers public market investors direct exposure to XRP. The company actively deploys capital into XRP-based infrastructure while executing treasury strategies to increase its XRP-per-share holdings. "We plan to enter public markets as blockchain utility continues to grow, and we believe institutional finance will increasingly be built on-chain," Evernorth Founder and CEO Asheesh Birla stated. The S-4 filing registers up to 34,499,992 Class A common shares and 11,499,992 warrants issuable through the transaction. Don't forget to follow us @INN_Technology for real-time news updates!

Read original →Sumitomo (OTCPL:SSUMF,TSE:8053) and engineering firm G Mining Group have acquired a 25 percent stake in Tintina Mines (TSXV:TTS,OTCPL:TNNTF) to advance the Dos Amigos copper-gold project in Northern Chile. Through a 50/50 special purpose vehicle, Sumitomo and G Mining have subscribed for C$48 million worth of a C$91 million private placement of subscription receipts issued by the developer. The capital injection will enable Tintina to consolidate 100 percent ownership of the Dos Amigos project and fund development through to a final investment decision. The transaction yields an effective 12.5 percent economic interest in the mine for Sumitomo. Tintina recently completed a preliminary economic assessment for the open-pit Dos Amigos project, located roughly 130 kilometers northeast of La Serena in Chile's Atacama region. The 2026 study outlines an estimated 25 year mine life with a daily processing capacity of 35,000 metric tons. Annual production is targeted at 37,000 metric tons of copper and 57,000 ounces of gold. The site sits at a relatively low elevation and will leverage existing transportation and power infrastructure from surrounding operations. Total life-of-mine production is projected at 900,000 metric tons of copper and 1.4 million ounces of gold. Sumitomo partnered with G Mining to navigate industry-wide cost and scheduling overruns. The Canadian firm brings a track record of delivering mines on time and within budget, including Newmont's (NYSE:NEM,ASX:NEM) Merian mine and Lundin Gold's (TSX:LUG,OTCQX:LUGDF) Fruta del Norte. Sumitomo’s capital deployment in the Atacama region coincides with a recent regulatory push by the Chilean and Argentine governments to unlock stranded copper assets in the exact same geographic belt. Officials convened in Santiago this week to activate the 1997 Mining Integration and Complementation Treaty. The bi-national agreement establishes concrete rules for sharing infrastructure and resources across the Andes Mountains, targeting projects whose deposits straddle Argentina's San Juan province and Chile's Atacama region. The newly approved protocols cover the Vicuña, NexoAndino and Filo Sur projects, advancing a legal framework designed to unlock more than US$20.7 billion in copper investment. This provides Argentine projects access to Chilean ports and the world's largest copper-producing supply chain. The treaty revival materialized under Chilean President Jose Antonio Kast and Argentine President Javier Milei. Since March 2026, Chile has received more than US$24.3 billion in mining projects for environmental review. Concurrently, Argentina approved seven copper projects totaling US$22 billion under its Large Investment Incentive Regime, known as RIGI, which guarantees 30 years of tax and currency stability.

The move came just ahead of the publication of a Texas Tribune investigation that revealed the state spent over $30 million on Flock cameras. That money was primarily raised by tacking a $1 fee onto insurance policies, allegedly to help fight catalytic converter theft. Flock cameras have increasingly drawn ire from across the political spectrum as they've become the subject of privacy concerns. There have been multiple incidents of officers being placed on leave or criminally charged for misusing Flock systems, including at … Read the full story at The Verge.

Read original →Argentina and Chile approved operating protocols to integrate three mega-mining projects across the Andes Mountains, advancing a legal framework designed to unlock more than US$20.7 billion in copper investment. Officials from both countries convened in Santiago on Thursday (August 27) under the Mining Integration and Complementation Treaty, an agreement signed in 1997, but rarely used until the administrations of Chilean President Jose Antonio Kast and Argentine President Javier Milei revived it this year, according to a Reuters report. During the meeting, the administrative commission signed specific additional protocols establishing concrete rules to share infrastructure and resources for the Vicuña, NexoAndino and Filo Sur projects. The mineral deposits for all three developments straddle the border between Argentina's San Juan province and Chile's Atacama region. "The development of bi-national projects ... creates enormous opportunities for Chilean suppliers, for the use of Chilean infrastructure, for providing services to the Argentine industry and for developing partnerships," Joaquin Villarino, head of Consejo Minero, Chile's mining council, said. Argentine projects located near the Andes can potentially access Chilean ports and tap into the world's largest copper-producing supply chain. This access is expected to reduce costs and shortens transport routes to the Pacific Ocean, accelerating mine construction and export capacity. The Vicuña project integrates the Josemaría deposit in Argentina, Tamberías in Chile and Filo del Sol, which straddles the border. The asset is controlled by a joint venture between Lundin Mining (TSX:LUN,OTCPL:LUNMF) and major mining company BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP). Meanwhile, the newly authorized NexoAndino protocol combines the Los Helados project in Chile and Lunahuasi in Argentina, while Filo Sur allows exploration teams to unify operations across the border. Since taking office in March 2026, the Kast administration in Chile has received more than US$24.3 billion in mining projects for environmental review to support its reform. Meanwhile, Argentina is experiencing its largest copper investment cycle in history. Seven copper projects totaling US$22 billion have already secured approval under Milei’s Large Investment Incentive Regime, known as RIGI, which guarantees 30 years of tax and currency stability. Argentina has not produced copper since the Alumbrera mine closed in 2018. However, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) recently identified eight major copper developments across the country that could absorb US$44 billion in capital. The bank forecasts that Argentine copper production could reach 1.2 million metric tons annually by 2035, generating roughly US$26 billion in export revenue. Representatives from several cross-border projects, including McEwen Mining (TSX:MUX,NYSE:MUX) subsidiary McEwen Copper's Los Azules and Glencore's (LSE:GLEN,OTCPL:GLCNF) El Pachón, are scheduled to meet in Santiago on Friday (August 28) to further discuss integration opportunities.
