How AI Has Changed The Speed At Which Organizations Must Adapt

How AI Has Changed The Speed At Which Organizations Must Adapt　　getty　　I began researching curiosity years before generative AI became part of everyday work. At the time, I was trying to understand why people stopped asking questions, challenging assumptions, and exploring new possibilities even when organizations said they wanted innovation. That research led me to the factors that inhibit curiosity and later to the role leaders and workplace cultures play in either encouraging or suppressing it. Lately, I have found myself asking a different question. What happens when people are willing to learn and explore, but the thing they need to learn keeps changing？ AI has made that question much more urgent. It has also changed what I believe curiosity needs to do because people now have to recognize when the knowledge, skills, and approaches that helped them succeed need to be reconsidered.　　Why AI Requires More Than A Willingness To Learn　　getty　　Why AI Requires More Than A Willingness To Learn　　The answer to rapid change is often framed as continuous learning, and learning certainly matters. The World Economic Forum identifies AI and big data among the fastest-growing skills while also placing curiosity and lifelong learning among the skills employers expect to grow in

From 0.5% to 23%: Wall Streets crypto perps takeover explained

After a lot of objection, criticism, and denial, Wall Street is moving onto crypto rails.　　According to Bloomberg, crypto exchanges are expanding beyond cryptocurrencies into round-the-clock markets for stocks and commodities. The huge increase in “perpetual futures” trading linked to stocks and commodities further confirmed this sentiment.　　How did one month change things for good？　　In August, these contracts generated $778 billion in Trading Volume across major crypto venues. They represented 23.48% of all Perpetual Futures activity, compared with only 0.5% in November 2025.　　At the same time, their centralized-exchange volume reached $665.42 billion in August, up from only $11.58 billion in January.　　Source: CoinBureau　　The main reason behind this surge is that crypto platforms are attracting traditional-asset trading because perpetual futures offer 24/7 access. This makes stocks, ETFs, and commodities easier to trade through crypto infrastructure.　　For instance, though the SpaceX-linked SPCX contract is private, investors can speculate on its valuation without owning the actual stock—thanks to crypto perpetuals trading.　　This was further validated by Binance accounting for about $433.4 billion of TradFi perpetual volume, with most of that coming from equity-linked contracts.　　That said, the list also includes Bybit and Hyperliquid, as even these are becoming important venues for traditional-asset speculation.　　What does this mean for the crypto

XRPL AI Payments Jumps 29% as XRP Falls, RLUSD Hits $2.4B

AI-driven payments using XRP and Ripple USD are approaching 4 million transactions, but the more notable development may be how quickly the activity is accelerating.　　Data cited by t54 show approximately 3,992,146 agentic transactions have settled through its XRP Ledger x402 infrastructure. That compares with roughly 3.1 million on Sept. 1, implying almost 892,000 additional transactions in four days, or growth of about 29%.　　The activity comes as XRP itself trades around $1.40, down roughly 4% over the past 24 hours, creating a fresh divergence between token price and one fast-growing area of XRPL usage.　　XRPL Went From 1M to Nearly 4M Agent Payments in Weeks　　The acceleration becomes clearer with a longer comparison.　　In July, XRPL agentic payments had only recently crossed 1 million, when RippleX engineering head J. Ayo Akinyele discussed a potential path toward 10 million to 100 million transactions over the coming years.　　Now the tracked count is already approaching four times that initial milestone.　　The infrastructure is built around x402, an HTTP-native payment protocol that lets software agents pay for digital services without a conventional checkout process. On XRPL, agents can use either XRP or RLUSD to purchase API access, compute, data or other machine-readable services.　　Ripple formally expanded that strategy in June

Users exposed by Trezor breach grows sixfold after supposedly deleted shipping logs are found

Hardware wallet maker Trezor says a breach at logistics provider ShipMonk exposed contact and order data for another approximately 67,000 U.S. customers after years-old records remained in the vendors systems despite written deletion assurances.　　Related Company Trezor Hardware wallet manufacturer　　The Sept. 4 update expands an incident Trezor initially said affected 13,689 people. The two disclosed groups imply a total of roughly 80,689, although Trezor has not issued a single combined figure or published underlying data showing whether the groups overlap. Its use of “another” indicates that it considers the new records additional to the original cohort.　　The newly disclosed records cover U.S. orders from November 2019 through August 2021 and include names, email addresses, phone numbers, shipping addresses and order numbers. The data can connect an identifiable person and physical location with a hardware-wallet purchase, creating risks beyond a conventional email leak.　　Old data outlived a 90-day policy　　When Trezor first disclosed the breach on Aug. 13, it counted 11,742 customers with full exposure and 1,947 with partial exposure. Trezors Aug. 13 account said older order data had already been deleted. An Aug. 14 clarification acknowledged that some partially exposed records included older orders.　　The Sept. 4 update reverses that understanding. Trezor said it repeatedly

Trump pushes Fed to cut rates ahead of pivotal September decision

President Donald Trump speaks with the new chairman of the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh, after a swearing-in ceremony in the East Room of the White House, in Washington, May 22, 2026.　　Anna Moneymaker | Getty Images　　Ten days ahead of a meeting in which the Federal Reserve will likely consider raising interest rates, the Trump administration looks to be in a full-court press to halt the hike in its tracks.　　In the past week, the president, vice president, Treasury secretary and one of the president‘s senior economic counselors have all urged the Fed not to raise rates and, in some cases, to cut them — an unusually broad public pressure campaign even by the standards of Trump’s long-running criticism of the central bank.　　While President Donald Trump has avoided directly criticizing his new Fed chairman Kevin Warsh, as he did former chair Jay Powell, he escalated the pressure Friday by threatening to halt trade with countries that run trade surpluses with the U.S. unless the Fed cuts interest rates. Trump had never before directly threatened tariffs if the Fed didnt lower rates.　　The presidents post was followed by an interview that senior economic counselor Peter Navarro gave to former Trump advisor Steve Bannon on Friday

Robinhood Chain Tops $3B Daily DEX Volume, Pushes UNI Burn Past $1M

Key TakeawaysUniswap burned 184,000 UNI worth $1.15 million yesterday, with 150,000 tokens tied to Robinhood Chain.Robinhood Chain has handled $34.6 billion in DEX volume and 576 million transactions since its July 1 launch.Blob posts to Ethereum stalled 14 minutes on the record day, but Arbitrum says the chain never went down.　　The Burn　　Starting with the number Uniswap holders care about, the protocol burned 184,000 UNI on Thursday, worth about $1.15 million. It was the first time the daily burn crossed $1 million in dollar terms and the second-largest by token count since the mechanism went live. Roughly 150,000 of those tokens, more than 80%, were paid for by traders on Robinhood Chain.　　That is how the fee switch is supposed to work. Uniswap token holders approved the “Unification” proposal on Christmas Day 2025, redirecting a slice of protocol fees that previously went entirely to liquidity providers into buying and burning UNI. The upgrade also destroyed 100 million UNI upfront. Since then, the size of each day‘s burn has tracked one thing, i.e., how much volume runs through Uniswap’s pools.　　Where the Volume Came From　　On Thursday, Robinhood Chains daily decentralized exchange (DEX) volume topped $3 billion for the first time, with Uniswap handling as
