Britain’s most notorious prisoner, Charles Bronson (real name Michael Gordon Peterson), has been filmed singing to his 96-year-old mother, Eira Peterson, ahead of his ninth parole hearing. In a video recorded inside prison, he croons “What a Wonderful World” and sends her a message: “Alright my old Duchess, how are you girl? It’s me, it’s Charlie. Not seen you for a while – about nine years. Don’t forget you’re always in my heart.” Bronson was first jailed in 1974, aged 21, for armed robbery. He has been released only twice since, briefly in 1987 and again in 1992 and has remained in prison since 1993. In 2000 he received a life sentence for false imprisonment after taking a prison art teacher hostage for 44 hours. Over the decades he has taken 11 hostages across nine sieges and spent much of his time in solitary confinement or high-security units. Now 73, he is serving an indefinite sentence and is currently making his ninth bid for parole. @DailyMail

watching @tZERO going public is a reminder that tokenization’s value accrues to the regulated plumbing: trading, custody, brokerage, & particularly the transfer agent. Whoever keeps the official record of ownership controls how a token can move. its the same reason 4 more TAs signed on to NYSE’s tokenized platform this week.

STMicroelectronics’ introduction of hardware post-quantum cryptography in its ST54M chip is another strong signal that quantum-resistant security is becoming a semiconductor industry priority. At SEALSQ, we welcome this development. Building the post-quantum ecosystem requires investment, innovation and multiple trusted suppliers. ST54M combines NFC, secure element and eSIM functionality with hardware acceleration for ML-KEM and ML-DSA, targeting mobile services such as payments, digital identity and access control. Our QS7001 platform brings these same NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms into hardware for connected devices and infrastructure, with applications across industrial systems, smart energy, healthcare and IoT. The approaches overlap in cryptography while serving different integration needs. For SEALSQ, the opportunity extends from secure silicon to device identity, PKI, provisioning and lifecycle security. As more manufacturers adopt hardware PQC, differentiation will increasingly depend on implementation security, independent evaluation, ease of integration and delivery. Supporting an algorithm is one step; protecting its keys and operations throughout a device’s life is the larger challenge. QS7001 V1 recently passed its Common Criteria EAL5+ technical security evaluation at SERMA, with final audits and formal certification still to follow. This is an important milestone as we advance the platform and its VaultIC409 and QVault TPM product families. The industry is moving toward hardware-anchored post-quantum security. Our focus is turning that transition into trusted, deployable solutions for customers. eetimes.com/stmicroelectroni… #SEALSQ #QS7001 #PostQuantumCryptography #Cybersecurity #Semiconductors #QuantumSecurity

The DTCC Tokenization Service is now live, and this is only the beginning. Explore the service: brnw.ch/21x6JeP

The SEC's tokenization exemption has a big open question: what counts as a "public, permissionless" blockchain? 🤔 The first 3 tokenized stock venues: 
TSV LLC on @CantonNetwork 
OKXICE on its own @Ethereum L2 
Kephas Corp. on its own @Ethereum L2 Who wants what: @SolanaInstitute , @malekanoms and @lex_node want it tighter @hedera wants it wider @SIFMA wants clarity @BetterMarkets wants it scrapped Meanwhile, 22 of 62 companies have objected to having their shares tokenized on OKXICE. The rules for onchain stocks are being written right now & this graphic is a busy one!! Via @CryptoAmerica_ @EleanorTerrett.
