After U.S. President Donald Trump announced that his executive order on digital assets would establish a strategic reserve of Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano, the cryptocurrency rose more than 20% from its lows last week. This statement reversed the adverse sentiment, and Bitcoin rose from $78,273 on Friday to almost $93,057. While XRP, Solana, and Cardano saw increases of 31%, 15%, and 69%, respectively, Ether saw a 10% increase. According to analysts, this is a massive lift for cryptocurrency traders, and the rise may continue into the next White House Crypto Summit. There are still questions about whether taxpayers or confiscated assets will fund the reserve the latter is viewed as less optimistic because it wouldnt put more buying pressure on the market.

AWS Unveils “Ocelot,” a Quantum Computing Prototype with Cat Qubits

"Ocelot," a quantum computing prototype announced by Amazon Web Services AWS, can expedite the construction of a commercially viable quantum computer

"Ocelot," a quantum computing prototype announced by Amazon Web Services AWS, can expedite the construction of a commercially viable quantum computer by as much as five years. In contrast to traditional methods, which call for over a million physical qubits, AWSs solution uses "cat" qubits, which lowers the requirement to about 100,000. This innovation, which was reported in Nature, puts AWS in the running for scalable quantum computing with Google, Microsoft, and PsiQuantum. With only nine physical qubits needed for one logical qubit, Ocelots architecture improves error correction, a significant challenge in quantum computing. With materials like tantalum, AWS hopes to improve chip production, which might streamline the process and accelerate advancement. This is a significant advancement in quantum computing, even if no commercial timescale has been established. Read More..

Botswana Secures Landmark Diamond Sales Deal with De Beers

After seven years of discussions, Botswana and De Beers have finally reached a historic diamond sales agreement. With a possible extension to a 50/50

After seven years of discussions, Botswana and De Beers have finally reached a historic diamond sales agreement. With a possible extension to a 50/50 split, the agreement raises Botswanas percentage of Debswanas diamond sales from 30% in the first five years to 40% in the following five. De Beers obtained a 25year extension of the mining licence until 2054 in exchange. Botswanas economy depends heavily on diamonds, accounting for 80% of exports and 25% of GDP, but a decline has hampered growth in demand and prices. President Duma Bokos new administration views this agreement as a step towards economic stability. Debswanas sales fell more than 50% in 2024 despite significant discoveries, such as a 2,492carat diamond in 2023, highlighting the necessity of economic diversification. Read More..
