Ripple locks $XRP in time-based smart contracts on the $XRP Ledger and releases a maximum of 1 billion $XRP on the first day of each month, a supply schedule set up in December 2017 and enforced by the ledger’s code rather than by any company decision. This is $XRP’s escrow system, and it is the reason $XRP’s supply grows on a fixed, public timetable instead of at Ripple’s discretion. What Is $XRP Escrow? In 2017, Ripple placed 55 billion $XRP into escrow contracts on the $XRP Ledger, locking away more than half of the total 100 billion $XRP supply. The…

This could lead to some of the power being curtailed or left unused. While this highlights the need for better ways to manage the surplus, Bitcoin mining emerges as a potential way to put the excess energy into use. India’s Solar Boom is Creating a Problem, But What’s the Role of Bitcoin Mining? On September 5, Indian entrepreneur Prafull Billore shared an X post, raising concerns about…

The rapid advancements in quantum computing threaten not only the cryptocurrency market but also the entire encrypted system, including the banking system. However, according to experts, the cryptocurrency market may be the first sector to be affected by this transformation. At this point, as predictions for “Q-Day” draw closer day by day, experts warn that the slow governance of cryptocurrencies, rather than their cryptography, may be the biggest obstacle to protection against quantum attacks. Speaking to CoinDesk, Quantum Xchange CEO Eddy Zervigon likened cryptocurrencies to “canaries in a mine,” claiming that the first successful quantum-powered cyberattack will most likely be…

Shiba Inu holders got a scare this week when the community’s favorite blockchain explorer suddenly showed a network in freefall. Transactions, wallet addresses, and blocks on Shibarium all appeared to collapse within days, and for a moment it looked like something had gone seriously wrong with the Layer-2 chain built around $SHIB. But the real story turns out to be far less dramatic than the numbers suggested: what happened is best described as a Shibariumscan indexing issue, not a blockchain malfunction, and the underlying Shibarium network never actually lost the data that vanished from the screen. Key takeaways Shibariumscan’s reported…

Every interaction with AI uses electricity in a data center. Servers calculate the answer, cooling equipment carries away the heat, and network connections send the result back to the user. Multiply that process across millions of requests and the electric bill becomes one of the facility’s highest costs, while access to enough power determines how much computing the building can support and how much money it can earn. Wall Street is now packaging that income into bonds. Once a data center is open and has paying customers, its owner can transfer the facility and its contracts to a separate legal…
