In briefOpenAI published a detailed rebuttal to Apples trade secrets lawsuit.The company says Apple misstated key facts before filing suit and released emails to support its claims.OpenAI also argues Apple employees continued seeking help from a former engineer after he joined the company.　　OpenAI has publicly challenged Apples trade secrets lawsuit, publishing emails, text messages, and a point-by-point rebuttal that accuses the iPhone maker of making factual errors before filing its complaint.　　In a blog post published Monday, OpenAI said Apple confused two employees with similar names, falsely claimed the company ignored its outreach, and incorrectly asserted that Apples outside counsel had spoken with OpenAI General Counsel Che Chang before filing a lawsuit against OpenAI.　　The email and text dump comes after Apple sued OpenAI in July, accusing the company, former Apple engineer Chang Liu, former Apple design executive Tang Tan, and io Products of misappropriating hardware trade secrets as OpenAI expanded its consumer hardware efforts following its acquisition of Jony Ives startup in 2025.　　“Apple is one of the greatest companies of all time, and built a reputation for obsessing over the smallest details,” OpenAI wrote. “This careless, aggressive and oddly personal lawsuit sadly doesnt live up to that reputation.”　　In its lawsuit, Apple

CLARITY Act misses Senate agenda as deadline nears

The CLARITY Act was absent from the U.S. Senates Aug. 4 schedule, narrowing the window for lawmakers to advance the crypto market structure bill before their August recess.　　CLARITY Act left off the Senate schedule　　Senators convened at 10:00 a.m. ET on Tuesday before breaking until 2:15 p.m., according to the Senate Daily Press schedule.　　Following leadership remarks, the chamber was expected to resume consideration of the motion to proceed to H.R. 6500, a vehicle for a continuing resolution, after cloture.　　The schedule also listed possible votes on Erica Schwartzs nomination to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a group of 74 nominations considered together. It did not mention H.R. 3633, formally known as the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act.　　The omission does not prevent Senate leaders from adding the crypto bill later. However, no cloture motion had been filed on H.R. 3633 as of Tuesday, leaving lawmakers without the procedural step needed to move toward a vote.　　Analyst Ted Pillows said that if Senate leadership waited until Wednesday to file cloture, Friday would likely be the earliest day for a procedural vote.　　The Clarity Act is still not on the Senates floor schedule, making it increasingly difficult for lawmakers to pass the bill

Samsung is poised to become a dominant stablecoin distributor, analysts say

By doing so, Samsung Wallet becomes the foundation for an interconnected financial ecosystem across Galaxy devices and services — where it combines payments, rewards, and digital assets into a single unified experience, he said.　　If it follows through, over 800 million would potentially have access to Galaxys stablecoin features and other crypto without requiring a separate crypto app or exchange account. Already, there are over one billion active Samsung smartphones worldwide.　　Stablecoins and infrastructure　　During its Q2 earnings call last week, Samsung SDS CEO Lee Jun-hee said that the companys stake in crypto exchange Upbit operator Dunamu is a strategic investment to enter the digital asset infrastructure business, including stablecoins and AI-powered payments.　　Three Samsung affiliates agreed in May to acquire a 4% stake in Dunamu, the operator of South Koreas largest cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit, for $408 million. Samsung Securities, Samsung SDS and Samsung Card are the affiliates involved in the deal.　　“This is the other half of the same strategy, and from a deal perspective, it is the more telling half,” said Goh. “The wallet announcement secured distribution; SDS and Dunamu will secure the infrastructure beneath it.”　　Goh said he believes Samsung is aiming to build the infrastructure itself, rather than rely on a third-party

Ethereum researchers propose burning validator rewards to cap staking at 50%

Quick TakeThe “Tapered Issuance Burn” Ethereum Improvement Proposal would gradually burn a rising share of validator rewards as the staking ratio climbs, driving ETH inflation to zero once about 50% of ETH is staked.Critics of the proposal, submitted days before a Hegota inclusion deadline, say the plan could negatively impact solo stakers, liquid staking tokens, DeFi yields and Ethereums long-term security.　　A group of Ethereum researchers, including Justin Drake, published a draft Ethereum Improvement Proposal that would introduce a “tapered issuance burn,” deducting and permanently destroying a portion of validators “idealized” rewards that scales with the networks overall staking ratio.　　The proposal, authored by pintail, Jérôme de Tychey, dapplion, pa7x1, Ladislaus von Daniels and Ethereum Foundation researcher Drake, sets a saturation balance of about 60.25 million ETH — roughly half the current supply — at which the burn fraction reaches 100% and net consensus-layer issuance for performing duties falls to zero.　　In other words, a rising portion of each validators rewards would be burned as the total amount of staked ETH grows. At roughly 50% of all ETH staked, the burn would cancel out those rewards completely.　　The authors argue that the current system still pays a small yield no matter how much is
