The shadow of Elon Musk looms once again over Europe. The Paris court has opened a criminal investigation into the platform X, suspected of algorithmic manipulation for the purposes of foreign interference. This case, at the crossroads of cybercrime, European justice, and geopolitical tensions, could mark a new escalation in the trade war between the United States and the European Union.
And what if the next big battle for AI was not played out on a language model, but rather on the browser that billions of internet users use every day? OpenAI is preparing to launch a web browser powered by artificial intelligence, designed to directly compete with Google Chrome. This still discreet initiative aims to divert usage from Google's historic engine, a cornerstone of its advertising ecosystem. By transforming browsing into a conversational interface, OpenAI could redefine the rules of a market that has been locked down for years by Alphabet.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is now infiltrating laboratories and scientific publications, raising crucial questions about the integrity of research. A recent study reveals that over 13% of biomedical articles bear traces of ChatGPT and similar tools.

Polygon is about to reach a decisive milestone with Heimdall v2, a hard fork that Sandeep Nailwal describes as "the most complex since 2020". On July 10, the PoS network is deeply modernizing its infrastructure while consolidating its governance, now in the hands of its co-founder. This is a strategic operation as the battle intensifies on the front of layer two blockchains.
Even after stepping down from his CEO role at X (formerly Twitter), Jack Dorsey isn’t taking holidays. This time, the former X boss introduced a new decentralized messaging app, Bitchat, which could transform the social media space in an era where privacy, security, and censorship have become a big thing. 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. But a bet that is embraced. And above all, a clear message: AI will not be a jungle in Europe.
The quantum threat is not for tomorrow morning, but recent breakthroughs suggest that the Bitcoin community made the right move to initiate major maneuvers.
While Bitcoin mining now seems to be reserved for industrial giants equipped with powerful ASICs, an improbable feat challenges this logic. A solo miner, armed with only 2.3 PH/s, mined a block on his own via Solo CK, earning about $350,000. This almost impossible statistical achievement recalls the more open beginnings of the network. In an increasingly centralized ecosystem, this isolated victory revives the fundamental question: is the Bitcoin network still accessible to independents?
When the guru of Ethereum worries about his own creature, there is something fishy under Web3. Vitalik pulls out the tests… and his anti-glitter blockchain scalpel.
Web3 is facing a perfect storm of increasing threats. Phishing attacks have siphoned off more than $341 million in just 300 days, and the imminent arrival of the quantum computing era threatens to render current cryptographic protections obsolete. It is in this context that Naoris Protocol is positioned, developing the first decentralized post-quantum cybersecurity infrastructure designed for blockchain ecosystems.
The European Central Bank is embarking on a major technological shift. The Governing Council has just approved two major projects aimed at integrating blockchain technology into the euro transaction settlement system. This is a strategic advancement that marks a turning point in the modernization of the financial infrastructures of the European Union.
Musk is pumping 10 billion dollars into his AI circuits, while Trump fumes, threatens to cut off the taps... and discovers that AI doesn't like public debt.
It had been a long time since Bitcoin miners had been caught off guard by such a mining difficulty adjustment.
Solana bombards DEXs, Ethereum takes the hit... but behind the sparkle, a network coughs and memecoins tumble. The crypto king trembles, but can the prince reign without an active throne?
In a digital context where threats are multiplying, unfortunately Cointribune is no exception to the rule. For the past few hours, our media has been the target of a phishing attempt directly targeting our audience through our newsletter. It is essential to quickly inform you of the situation and provide…

In June 2025, the quantum industry reached a historic milestone. Oxford University announced a world record with a quantum gate achieving an error rate of only 0.000015%, or one error every 6.7 million operations. A few days later, IBM unveiled its roadmap to a 200 logical qubit quantum computer, named Starling, expected in 2029. Meanwhile, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated that the quantum computing sector has reached an inflection point, heralding a new technological era. In light of this acceleration, a major question arises: Is Web3 ready for the post-quantum world? The reality is more concerning than it appears.
