XRPL validator says no need for SWIFT to use XRP
An XRP Ledger (XRPL) validator known as Vet rejected speculation that XRP and the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) could work together, saying SWIFT does not use XRP and XRP does not need SWIFT to function. Vet said blockchain systems can bypass legacy financial infrastructure by integrating messaging and settlement in a single process. He contrasted SWIFT’s messaging role with separate settlement steps that can add delays, costs and intermediaries.

OpenAI\'s GPT-5.2 Pro derives new mathematical formula for quantum gravity
OpenAI and researchers at Princeton\'s Institute for Advanced Study announced a new mathematical result in quantum gravity using AI, with findings posted on arXiv. The team used OpenAI\'s GPT-5.2 Pro and said its approach helped uncover new mathematical structure. They analysed graviton scattering amplitudes and proved a single-minus amplitude need not be zero at tree level in a half-collinear regime. Researchers said verifying and writing up the result took the most time.
