A welcome step from @hmtreasury this week: plans confirmed to give the @bankofengland a new secondary objective supporting #payments innovation, including #tokenisation, #DLT and digital settlement assets, alongside its financial stability mandate.
Regulatory clarity like this is what moves #programmablemoney from pilots to production. A direction we've long supported, and one that aligns closely with our work in tokenisation, execution and settlement.

@fox13seattle click-bait alert 🚨 here’s the answer:
“The North Jetty area of Ocean Shores, located in ZIP code 98569, ranked No. 1 nationwide for property risk.”
Police found seized iPhones restarting themselves inside locked evidence rooms. Their internal memo guessed the phones were talking to each other.
They weren't. Apple built it on purpose.
Here's what it does and how to use it:👇
Chief Petty Officer Darrik C. Benson, DEVGRU (SEAL Team 6) Gold Squadron, killed 15 years ago today, August 6, 2011, when Extortion 17 went down in Afghanistan. He was 28.
Born and raised in Angwin, California, he graduated from St. Helena High School in 2001 and enlisted in the Navy afterward, at just 17, already sure of the direction he intended to take.
His family recalled a young man marked by intense determination paired with an equally sharp sense of humor, someone whose unyielding push to excel opened doors few others ever reach. That same resolve carried him through the SEAL Teams and into DEVGRU, where he served alongside his Gold Squadron brothers.
Over his career he received the Bronze Star with Combat V, the Purple Heart, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, two Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medals with Valor, two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals, and the Combat Action Ribbon.
In the days that followed his death, his family put it simply: he died doing what he loved, defending this country beside some of the bravest men the world has known. He is survived by a young son, a sister, and a father who remained fiercely proud of him.
15 years after Extortion 17 fell, we give a name and a face to one more of the 30 Americans lost that night.

If you own a car made after 2020, you need to read this right now.
Your car knows how fast you brake. Where you drive. What time you get home. And depending on the brand, it may be recording your conversations, your weight, and even your facial expressions.
Mozilla reviewed 25 major car brands for privacy. Every single one failed. Cars are officially the worst product category Mozilla has ever tested, worse than smart speakers, worse than doorbell cameras.
Here are 6 moves to lock your car down 🧵
@GovBobFerguson The dignitary has spoken. Thanks for making everyone wait 5 hours for a photo op. Have you found a way to blame this on Trump or climate change yet? There’s gotta be some angle you can use to increase our taxes even further.
Washington’s DOL allegedly knew about a major security flaw in its License Express system for 6 years (2018-2025), potentially exposing driver’s license data for millions—including info tied to voter rolls.
Attorney Joel Ard calls it ‘egregious conduct’ for not notifying the public promptly per state law.
Full story linked below. This raises valid questions about election data security claims.
@SenatorCantwell Sen. Cantwell — WA DOL knew about a huge License Express data breach for 6 years and downplayed it. Why weren’t voters told until now? How does this square with claims that our state voter systems are “safe and secure”?
