A fragile Hormuz deal is no reason for global investors to relax yet

A tentative deal between Iran and Oman on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is being treated in some quarters as the moment the year’s biggest energy risk finally eases. I believe that investors would be wise to treat it with considerably more caution than that. The scale of what is at stake in this waterway is hard to overstate. In a normal year, roughly 20 million […]

Bitcoin miners buckle as production costs outpace prices

Bitcoin miners are facing an intensifying profitability crisis as the average cost of producing one coin approaches $78,000, leaving about one-fifth of the global mining fleet operating at a loss. Bitcoin was trading near $64,500 on Thursday, roughly 17% below the estimated industry-wide production cost. The gap has persisted for several months, forcing operators to shut down older machines, sell cryptocurrency reserves and redirect capital towards artificial […]

Chinese AI models gain ground across Africa

African technology developers are increasingly adopting Chinese artificial intelligence models as lower costs, open access and easier customisation reshape competition with more powerful proprietary systems developed in the United States. Models from Alibaba, DeepSeek and Beijing-based Moonshot AI are becoming widely used foundations for applications in education, agriculture, healthcare and financial services. Their appeal is strongest among start-ups and research teams working with limited computing capacity, constrained […]

Aave founder challenges Ethereum staking reward overhaul

Aave founder Stani Kulechov has opposed a proposed change to Ethereum’s monetary policy, warning that cutting validator rewards as staking expands could weaken decentralised finance, deter investors and undermine ether’s appeal as a productive asset. The disputed plan, initially circulated as EIP-8361 and subsequently renumbered EIP-8363, would introduce a “tapered issuance burn”. It would destroy an increasing share of the newly issued ether allocated to validators as […]

The system allowed separate model runs to leave information, […]

Ransomware operators turn Ethereum into hidden command channel

Ransomware operators are using Ethereum smart contracts to conceal command-and-control addresses, giving malware a resilient way to locate attacker-controlled servers even after defenders block known domains. The technique has been linked to an affiliate of The Gentlemen ransomware operation, which deployed a Node. js backdoor known as EtherRAT during intrusions targeting Windows networks. Instead of storing a fixed command server inside the malware, EtherRAT reads a smart […]

Gold vaults above $4,200 as yields retreat

Gold prices surged above $4,200 an ounce on Wednesday as weaker US employment data, a softer dollar and falling Treasury yields drove investors towards the precious metal, although claims that bullion gained 4.5% during the day appeared to overstate the move recorded by leading benchmarks. Spot gold climbed more than 3% to about $4,200 an ounce, its highest level since late June. US gold futures advanced roughly […]
