Institutional money is flowing back into crypto in a meaningful way. Spot bitcoin ETFs pulled in over six hundred million dollars on Tuesday, with ether funds adding another two hundred twenty one million. Two consecutive days of surging inflows suggest this isn't noise — it's a sustained bid from serious players.

Cisco has disclosed four critical vulnerabilities in its Secure Workload software, a tool literally designed to stop attackers from moving through networks. Two of those flaws scored a perfect ten out of ten on the severity scale. Cisco has offered little technical detail, which may be cold comfort for anyone running it.
And in the UK, a quieter but pointed story about data sovereignty. Greater Manchester is pushing back against a national health service contract with Palantir, the American data analytics firm with deep ties to government intelligence work. The region argues it can build and manage its own system — a rare instance of a local authority drawing a clear line around public health data.
