Between 22 and 24 September six Canadian banks began exploring a CAD tokenised-deposit network, The Clearing House picked Quant for a US network due in the first half of 2027, and IBM connected its Digital Asset Haven to Swift's shared ledger in beta. Banks are building shared rails for bank money on ledgers, and most of it is still at the pilot stage.

DARPA has moved Atom Computing, Diraq, IBM and IonQ into the final, hands-on stage of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, and says it increasingly expects a useful quantum computer by 2033. UK trapped-ion firm Universal Quantum has raised more than $100m, IonQ claims big speed-ups for error-corrected operations in simulations, and a peer-reviewed Cornell paper shows a full gate set on a qubit that partly tolerates its main error. Plus a Jülich preprint and Infineon's ion-trap chips. What each confirms, and what is only claimed.

A critical Langflow flaw let MCP server settings run any command. Researchers say GitHub's Copilot CLI followed encrypted instructions that it refused in plain text; GitHub says that is not a vulnerability. Meanwhile Atlassian has split its 220+ agent tools into read, write and destructive tiers, and OpenAI has made Codex Auto-review free. What each one confirms.
