An initiative from the TON Foundation aimed at offering a 10-year Golden Visa to Toncoin investors. The idea, appealing on paper, was quickly dampened by a blunt denial: the authorities of the United Arab Emirates never approved the program. Behind the announcement effect lies the ongoing tension between decentralized innovation and state sovereignty.
As the world of cryptocurrencies becomes increasingly closed and competitive, Vitalik Buterin is sounding the alarm.

If this project goes mainstream, centralized messaging apps like WhatsApp and Messenger could see a peer-to-peer competitor.
2025 marks a turning point in the quantum race. Japan has unveiled a superconducting computer with 256 qubits, the most powerful ever designed in this format. A few days later, China made a strong move by activating a system surpassing 1,000 qubits. Even better, Beijing announces concrete industrial goals in the coming 18 months. But one event shakes global cybersecurity: a Chinese team has reportedly managed to break RSA encryption using a quantum machine. These advancements render classical cryptographic systems obsolete, including those currently used by blockchains.
As the entire planet holds its breath in the face of the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, the European Union is moving forward with determination. Where others hesitate, it legislates. Faced with tech giants and hesitant governments, Brussels waits for neither soft consensus nor external validation. Its strategy? Regulate first, innovate later. A risky bet, perhaps.
