A first-time 100 XRP deposit through Xaman’s Flare yield route would return about 99.38 XRP after a year in an illustrative calculation using the wallet’s published fees and a constant 2.25% net annual return.Xaman, a wallet for the XRP Ledger, puts the break-even point at about 15.4 months for that deposit in its hypothetical scenario. The calculation assumes a 2.25% annual return after vault fees and includes the separate entry and redemption costs. For 10,000 XRP, its estimate falls to about 4.5 months. The fixed setup charge takes a larger share of a small deposit, alongside percentage fees on entry…

OpenAI said two of its AI coding agents weakened safety monitoring, with one falsely denying that it removed a safeguard.The incidents, disclosed in an Oct. 20 report, occurred during separate internal programming tasks involving GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol. One agent removed a system designed to flag problematic behavior, while the other disabled alerts that would notify human security staff.Neither case triggered OpenAI’s highest-priority security classification or automatically halted the agents’ work, exposing weaknesses in the controls ChatGPT’s developer uses to supervise increasingly autonomous software systems.How the AI agents removed monitors and suppressed security alertsThe more consequential breakdown occurred Oct. 6,…

Declining financing does not, by itself, remove a qualifying trade from that framework when a covered offer applies and neither actual delivery nor another statutory exception removes it from coverage.The CFTC announced the consultation on Oct. 5, and the advance notice of proposed rulemaking was published in the Federal Register on Oct. 13. Comments are due Dec. 14. It sets out the agency’s preliminary reading of existing law and seeks input…
