OpenAI Pushes New ChatGPT Safety Features as Lawsuits Mount

OpenAI says ChatGPT can now better spot signs of self-harm or violence during ongoing conversations.The update comes as the company faces lawsuits and investigations over claims that ChatGPT mishandled dangerous conversations.OpenAI said the new safeguards rely on temporary “safety summaries” rather than permanent memory or personalization.　　OpenAI on Thursday announced new safety features designed to help ChatGPT recognize signs of escalating risk across conversations as the company faces growing legal and political scrutiny over how its chatbot handles users in distress.　　In a blog post, OpenAI said the updates improve ChatGPTs ability to identify warning signs tied to suicide, self-harm, and potential violence by analyzing context that develops over time instead of treating each message separately.　　“People come to ChatGPT every day to talk about what matters to them—from everyday questions to more personal or complex conversations,” the company wrote. “Across hundreds of millions of interactions, some of these conversations include people who are struggling or experiencing distress.”　　According to OpenAI, ChatGPT now uses temporary “safety summaries,” which it described as narrowly scoped notes that capture relevant safety-related context from earlier conversations.　　“In sensitive conversations, context can matter as much as a single message,” the company wrote. “A request that appears ordinary or ambiguous on

Societe Generale Expands Tokenized Stablecoin Use on Canton

Societe Generale, through its digital assets subsidiary Societe Generale-FORGE, is expanding its footprint in blockchain-based finance by deploying its EURCV and USDCV stablecoins on the Canton Network.

Warren Pushes SEC Probe as CLARITY Act Faces Final Hurdles

Senator Elizabeth Warren called on the SEC to investigate a Trump family-linked crypto business.The comments came during the Senate Banking Committee markup of the CLARITY Act.Reports said DeFi rules, BRCA language, and Democratic support became key late-stage issues.　　Senator Elizabeth Warren called on the SEC to investigate a crypto company linked to President Donald Trumps family as the CLARITY Act faced a tense Senate Banking Committee markup. Her remarks added fresh pressure to a bill already caught between ethics concerns, DeFi rules, and late-stage amendment fights.　　The dispute raised a direct question for crypto markets: Will the CLARITY Act stall before reaching the Senate floor？ Current signs show the bill can still move, but its bipartisan path has narrowed as Democrats press for stronger guardrails on conflicts of interest and market oversight.　　Warren Raises Trump Crypto Concerns　　Warren‘s call for an SEC investigation focused on a cryptocurrency business associated with Trump’s family. Reports said she made the remarks during the CLARITY Act markup, where Democratic lawmakers continued pushing for conflict-of-interest protections involving senior public officials.　　The issue has become more than a political side debate. Democrats argue that a crypto market structure bill should not advance without rules addressing how top officials and their families

Is 10,000 XRP Enough to Retire? Analyst Maps Two Timelines to $1 Million

The post Is 10,000 XRP Enough to Retire？ Analyst Maps Two Timelines to $1 Million appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News　　It is the most searched question in the XRP community right now. How much XRP is actually enough？ Analyst Zach Rector tackled it directly this week, and his answer depends entirely on what you are trying to achieve and how long you are willing to wait.　　Wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP just hit an all-time high of 332,230 according to Santiment data, a record that has been building consistently since June 2024. Even through volatility and sideways price action, larger holders have kept accumulating.　　The Two Timelines　　Rector ran two scenarios for a 10,000 XRP position purchased today at approximately $1.44, a total investment of around $14,400.　　Conservative timeline: XRP reaches $10 this year giving a $100,000 portfolio, climbs to $50 by 2029 for $500,000, and hits $100 by 2033 to 2034 for a $1 million portfolio. Total wait: roughly a decade.　　Aggressive timeline: XRP hits $10 this year, $50 by 2027, and $100 by 2029. Same $1 million outcome but compressed into three years.　　The Part Most People Miss　　Rector made a point that separates serious investors from casual holders. When XRP reaches $100 and

Coinbase Takes Over USDC Treasury Deployer Role on Hyperliquid, Phases Out Native USDH Stablecoin

Hyperliquid‘s native stablecoin is on its way out. The decentralized perpetuals exchange has chosen Coinbase as the official treasury deployer for USDC, a move that sidelines the platform’s own USDH token and hands a major plumbing role to a centralized entity. For a venue that built its reputation on permissionless leverage trading, the decision creates a clear trade-off: deeper liquidity and institutional alignment for a piece of on-chain governance.　　According to the original report, Native Markets has already agreed to terms allowing Coinbase to purchase the USDH brand assets. The USDH market will be phased out over an unspecified timeline, effectively making USDC the primary stablecoin for collateral and settlement on Hyperliquid. The shift gives Coinbase direct exposure to treasury management inside one of the most actively used derivatives DEXs, while also extending USDCs footprint deeper into on-chain trading infrastructure.　　A strategic shift for on-chain stablecoin markets　　By taking the treasury deployer seat, Coinbase can directly manage and mint USDC in connection with Hyperliquid‘s trading activity. It is a role that normally sits with a protocol’s own team or a DAO treasury, not an external exchange. For Coinbase, the logic is straightforward: USDC needs to be where volume lives, and Hyperliquid has consistently

Solana positions itself as leader in quantum threat preparedness

On April 27, 2026, the Solana Foundation released a comprehensive quantum readiness roadmap, co-authored with Anza and Jump Crypto‘s Firedancer team. The document lays out a concrete strategy for migrating Solana’s cryptographic infrastructure to post-quantum standards, with a particular focus on the Falcon digital signature scheme.　　Why the urgency matters now　　A 2026 Google paper estimated that fewer than 500,000 physical qubits would be required to break elliptic curve cryptography, the mathematical foundation securing virtually every major blockchain. That number is significantly lower than previous estimates, which had placed the threshold comfortably in the millions.　　Nic Carter has put the odds of Bitcoin being vulnerable to quantum attacks by 2035 at 70-80%. The specific vulnerability sits in Ed25519, the elliptic curve signature scheme used by Solana, and variants of the same mathematical family used by Bitcoin and Ethereum. If a sufficiently powerful quantum computer can derive a private key from a public key, anyone who has ever broadcast a transaction, which exposes their public key, becomes a target.　　Solanas quantum playbook　　The roadmap centers on adopting Falcon, formally known as FN-DSA, a post-quantum digital signature algorithm specifically chosen for high-throughput blockchains. Falcon was selected by NIST as one of its post-quantum cryptographic standards.　　Ed25519 signatures are

Anthropic Launches Claude AI Tools for Small Businesses

Anthropic has unveiled Claude for Small Business, an AI-driven solution designed to integrate seamlessly into the tools small businesses already use. The package includes connectors and workflows tailored to automate tasks across finance, marketing, operations, HR, and more—potentially leveling the playing field for smaller companies often left behind in AI adoption.　　Small businesses make up 44% of U.S. GDP and employ nearly half of the private-sector workforce, yet their uptake of AI has lagged. According to Anthropic, this is primarily due to tools that arent adapted to their workflows. With this launch, Anthropic aims to address that gap by embedding its Claude AI into platforms like Intuit QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, Docusign, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365. Business owners can use Claude to automate tedious tasks like payroll planning, invoice chasing, and campaign management, all while retaining control over approvals.　　“Small businesses have never had the resources of larger enterprises,” said Daniela Amodei, Co-founder and President of Anthropic. “AI is the first technology that can meaningfully close that gap. Claude for Small Business takes on late-night work like planning payroll or kicking off a marketing campaign, so owners can focus on running their business.”　　Key Features and Workflows　　The product ships with 15 ready-to-run
