Das ist die Essenz dessen, was ich als “Moschusochsenstrategie” bezeichne. Der Hintergrund: Werden Moschusochsen von Wölfen angegriffen, bildet die Herde einen Kreis, in dessen Mitte sich die schwächeren Mitglieder befinden. Die Hörner der “Frontline”-Tiere sind dabei nach außen positioniert. Für die Angreifer ist dieser gemeinschaftliche Verteidigungswall kaum noch zu überwinden. Ich bin der festen Überzeugung, dass sich diese Strategie auch auf das Drittanbieter-Risikomanagement übertragen lässt. Ähnlich wie bei den Moschusochsen die Kälber sind die Drittanbieter, auf die wir uns verlassen, die schwächsten Herdenmitglieder. Werden Sie in Mitleidenschaft gezogen, wirkt sich das auf unsere kritischen Geschäftsprozesse aus. Der Unterschied zu den Moschusochsen:…

She strutted into the Jurassic World franchise with Rebirth back in July 2025, and the dinosaurs barely stood a chance. Now, it looks like she might be suiting back up sooner than anyone expected. According to reliable industry scooper…

The brief sigh of relief across global markets lasted barely a day. Brent crude climbed sharply back towards $100 a barrel on Thursday after Iran moved to close the Strait of Hormuz, sending a clear signal that the fragile Middle East ceasefire was already fracturing. The benchmark was trading at $98.61 a barrel in early afternoon dealing, a rise of 4 per cent, having fallen as much as 16 per cent the previous day to below $91 on optimism that a two-week pause in hostilities might pave the way for a lasting peace. That optimism now looks badly misplaced. Iran’s…

A subtle shift in US payment infrastructure could be opening an unexpected door for XRP. The latest proposal from the Federal Reserve to expand FedNow capabilities is sparking new conversations across the digital asset space, and XRP may be quietly entering the spotlight.  Ripple’s Vision Aligns With Evolving Payment Infrastructure A transformative shift is unfolding in the US payment infrastructure, one that could impact Ripple and the role of XRP.

Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) published detailed guidance on Thursday that clarifies how token issuers should structure, disclose and distribute virtual assets in the emirate, sharpening rules for stablecoins and real-world asset (RWA) tokens.The document, which interprets VARA’s existing Virtual Asset Issuance Rulebook rather than creating new law, sets out three distinct issuance pathways and spells out who is responsible for what in each.Rather than treating all tokens as if they pose the same risks, the framework draws clear lines between Category 1 issuances (including fiat-referenced virtual assets and asset-referenced virtual assets), Category 2 issuances that must be distributed…

At our inaugural Enterprise on Ethereum Live, leaders from Nethermind, Polygon, and Metasig discussed how Ethereum infrastructure is evolving to meet the demands of institutional adoption. Contributors, including Redwan Meslem, Nitin Gaur, Luke Ryan, Maria, and Jamal highlighted a consistent theme: enterprise adoption is now determined more by operational fit than by technical feasibility. Institutions are no longer questioning Ethereum’s functionality. Instead, they are focused on how it integrates with governance frameworks, risk protocols, and operational workflows. As Nitin noted: “Wallet share is mindshare: the team that builds the tools for institutions wins the narrative from Web2 to Web3.” This…

Midnight (NIGHT) entered the market with rare momentum. Backed by Input Output Global and closely tied to the Cardano ecosystem, it promised something the industry has long struggled to deliver: privacy without sacrificing compliance. Its mainnet launch on March 30, 2026, was positioned as a major milestone, unlocking a programmable privacy layer built on zero-knowledge cryptography.Listings followed quickly. Speculation around broader exchange exposure, including Binance, added to the narrative. On paper, this was exactly the kind of setup that typically drives a strong post-launch rally.Instead, NIGHT is now trading near its all-time low.The disconnect is sharp, but not surprising once…

Anthropic “has not satisfied the stringent requirements” to temporarily lose the supply-chain-risk designation imposed by the Pentagon, a US appeals court in Washington, DC, ruled on Wednesday. The decision is at odds with one issued last month by a lower court judge in San Francisco, and it wasn’t immediately clear how the conflicting preliminary judgments would be resolved.The government sanctioned Anthropic under two different supply-chain laws with similar effects, and the San Francisco and Washington, DC, courts are each ruling on only one of them. Anthropic has said it is the first US company to be designated under the two…

President Donald Trump’s fast pivot on Iran – from "a whole civilization will die tonight" to a benign return to negotiations – has a whipsawed world scratching their heads. What was he up to?

Writing a research paper is brutal. Even after the experiments are done, a researcher still faces weeks of translating messy lab notes, scattered results tables, and half-formed ideas into a polished, logically coherent manuscript formatted precisely to a conference’s specifications. For many fresh researchers, that translation work is where papers go to die. A team at Google Cloud AI Research propose ‘PaperOrchestra‘, a multi-agent system that autonomously converts unstructured pre-writing materials — a rough idea summary and raw experimental logs — into a submission-ready LaTeX manuscript, complete with a literature review, generated figures, and API-verified citations. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2604.05018 The Core Problem…
