Is There a Future for Ethereum?

Is There a Future for Ethereum?

In just over a decade of existence, Ethereum (ETH 1.00%) has pioneered smart contracts and managed an ambitious transition from a proof-of-work to proof-of-stake validation system. Proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies are more efficient and use a fraction of the energy of proof-of-work. And smart contracts are tiny pieces of code that make blockchains programmable. Being first to market and committed to constant development has given Ethereum a solid lead in the programmable crypto world. Ethereum is a blockchain powerhouse Without Ethereum and smart contracts, the decentralized finance (DeFi) industry wouldn't exist. According to DefiLlama, over 60% of the total value locked -- the assets on DeFi platforms -- is on Ethereum. Similarly, it hosts over 50% of stablecoins in circulation. And RWA.xyz shows that it also accounts for more than half of the tokenized real-world assets. Stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization could be where crypto really finds utility. It's all about using tokens to record ownership on the blockchain. Not only could that make it easier to own fractions of all kinds of assets, but it also reduces friction when trading. It is still early days, but so far, Ethereum is a key player in this emerging space. What might hold Ethereum back? Ethereum has a proven track record, but any emerging project faces challenges and should only make up a small part of a balanced portfolio. Zooming out, we don't know how the stablecoin and real-world asset tokenization market will evolve. Existing giants in the financial world want to incorporate blockchain into their operations, and may not do it using decentralized projects like Ethereum. Within the cryptocurrency world, there is also a threat from newer, faster, lower-cost projects like Solana (SOL 0.02%) or Cardano (ADA 2.16%). Once discussed as potential "Ethereum killers," the more likely scenario is that they co-exist and take more market share, especially as interoperability makes cross-chain communication easier. Ultimately, Ethereum's achievements and continued dominance show it has the leadership, development community, and vision to adapt. If there's a future for cryptocurrency, there's almost certainly a future for Ethereum.

PayPal strikes payments wallet deal with OpenAI's ChatGPT, shares surge

PayPal said on Tuesday it entered into a deal with OpenAI that will allow ChatGPT users to buy products using the payment firm's wallet, sending its shares up 13 per cent in premarket trading. The company also raised its financial outlook for the year and announced its first-ever dividend in its 27-year history, signaling confidence in its cash generation and long-term profitability. PayPal said the OpenAI partnership will connect its global merchant network to ChatGPT, allowing users to sell within the wildly popular generative AI tool. AI shopping tools are emerging as the next big shift in online retail, as they can autonomously research, compare and purchase products for consumers. These tools act as digital assistants by understanding user preferences, setting budgets, evaluating reviews and tracking prices over time. "By partnering with OpenAI and adopting the Agentic Commerce Protocol, PayPal will power payments and commerce experiences that help people go from chat to checkout in just a few taps for our joint customer bases," PayPal CEO Alex Chriss said in a statement. RAISES FORECAST, SETS FIRST-EVER DIVIDEND PayPal said it now expects full-year adjusted EPS between $5.35 and $5.39 versus $5.15 to $5.30 earlier. Analysts had projected $5.24, according to estimates compiled by LSEG. Its board approved a quarterly dividend of 14 cents per share, representing a targeted payout ratio of 10 per cent of adjusted profit. The company has overhauled its business under CEO Alex Chriss in recent years by prioritizing profitability over aggressive revenue growth. Once a pandemic-era favorite, PayPal experienced a downturn as consumers returned to physical stores and spending patterns stabilized, prompting the company to focus on high-margin businesses and cost-cutting measures. Payment volumes have remained resilient as consumers continue to spend despite inflationary pressures and an uneven economic environment, highlighting the durability of the company's core business. PayPal posted total payment volume growth of 7 per cent on a FX-neutral basis to $458.1 billion.

Kim Soo Hyun’s Attorney Calls the Case ‘Nationwide Fraud’ Attorney Ko said that Kim Soo Hyun not only never engaged in the sexual exploitation of a middle school child, but did not date the deceased "for even a single day before she became an adult." He added, "All the genuine, unmanipulated materials consistently show that the two began dating after the deceased became a college student in the summer of 2019 and ended in the spring of the following year, less than a year later." Attorney Ko added, "The essence of this case is evidence fabrication. This case is an unprecedented nationwide fraud crime that socially commits character assassination against an innocent victim through evidence fabrication."

Gov’t Ruins “Perfect” School Placement System — NPP’s Richard Anning Fires

Richard Anning, an NPP communicator for Tema Central, has criticized the current government for mismanaging the high school placement system, describing the situation as unprecedented in the last eight years. According to him, the NPP had been running a system that was “almost perfect,” ensuring fair and transparent placement for students. However, he alleged that the current administration has reset the system, resulting in misplaced postings — including able-bodied students being sent to special needs schools. Mr. Anning also accused some Members of Parliament (MPs) and Municipal Chief Executives (MCEs) of manipulating the process to favor their relatives. “What has happened this year in the school system has never happened in the last eight years. And today, you say you suspend three heads of institutions? It’s funny,” he stated on Nkosuo Nsem. By: Daniel (Blutut Africa)/Planbfmonline.com

Trump Meets Families of Japanese Victims of North Korean Abductions

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - U.S. President Donald Trump met on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, with the families of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea several decades ago, reaffirming Washington’s commitment to help bring the victims home.According to The Japan Today, the meeting was held at the State Guest House in Tokyo, where Trump also had his first face-to-face discussion with Japan’s new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi.“I'm with them all the way, and the U.S. is with them all the way,” Trump told the families, assuring them that his administration stands firmly with Japan on the abduction issue.Among those present was Sakie Yokota, the mother of Megumi Yokota, one of the most symbolic figures in the long-standing case. Megumi was abducted in 1977 on her way home from school at the age of 13.Looking at photos of the victims held by family members, Trump said, “They are so beautiful,” before adding, “We will do everything in our power.”The meeting was also attended by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and senior Japanese officials. Rubio later expressed gratitude to the families for their “continued advocacy on behalf of their loved ones,” said U.S. State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott.In a separate session, Trump and Rubio met with Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara, both of whom reaffirmed Japan’s cooperation with the United States in resolving the abduction issue promptly.After the meeting, Sakie Yokota told reporters, “I believe something good will happen.”Trump had also met the families during his first term in office, pledging similar support.Background: North Korea’s Abductions of Japanese CitizensJapan officially recognizes 17 citizens abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s, although Tokyo suspects that many more may have been taken.Five of the abductees were repatriated in 2002, but efforts to bring back the remaining victims have seen little progress since then.Trump has frequently cited his “good relationship” with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, despite their failed denuclearization talks in 2019. He has also expressed interest in reopening diplomatic dialogue with Pyongyang.Currently, both Japan and the United States maintain no diplomatic relations with North Korea.Editor’s Choice: Why Trump Holds Sway over Southeast AsiaClick here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google News

Is IonQ or Nvidia the Better AI Computing Stock to Buy Now?

Nvidia (NVDA +2.79%) has been the undisputed king of AI investing, although some competition has started to emerge recently. However, these are traditional computing companies, not quantum computing businesses like IonQ (IONQ +4.08%). Quantum computing stocks have heavily sold off in the past few days, making them far more attractive than they were just a few weeks ago. With quantum computing potentially threatening traditional computing's dominance in the artificial intelligence sector, is IonQ the better investment over the long term versus Nvidia? IonQ made a bold prediction about its future IonQ's CEO Niccolo de Masi stated in an interview that he believes quantum processing units will eventually replace graphics processing units (GPUs) in accelerated computing applications. He compared the rise of quantum processing units to how GPUs replaced CPUs in situations where more computing power was needed. That's a bold proclamation, but it could have huge ramifications if it pans out. Nvidia is the world's largest company and is putting up huge growth figures because its GPUs are in such high demand for AI computing applications. If IonQ could rise to replace Nvidia, that would result in monstrous returns that would turn meager investments in IonQ into more than a million dollars. But is this realistic? There's no guarantee IonQ will be the winner The AI computing market is massive. Nvidia projected that global data center capital expenditures will total $600 billion in 2025, but rise to $3 trillion to $4 trillion in annual spending by 2030. That's a monstrous market, and if Nvidia can keep its market share, it will be slated to deliver massive growth for investors. But could IonQ take some of that massive buildout figure? Likely not. IonQ and its quantum computing peers point toward 2030 as the turning point for the commercial viability of quantum computing. This means that most quantum computing companies won't see significant sales until this time frame. That's already after the bulk of the AI infrastructure has been built out, so it's unlikely that IonQ will be able to have a massive effect on the AI arms race, although it could allow companies to push into the next frontier of AI in the years following. From a market standpoint, one of IonQ's competitors, Rigetti Computing (RGTI +3.41%), notes that it expects a $15 billion to $30 billion annual market to emerge between 2030 and 2040. IonQ believes the total addressable quantum computing market will reach about $87 billion by 2035 (that's a cumulative figure). Nvidia generated $41 billion in data center GPU sales alone during Q2, so it's clear that Nvidia will likely generate more money than these quantum computing companies even a decade from now. Furthermore, there's no guarantee that IonQ's approach will be the ultimate winner. While IonQ is a leader now, it's possible that it loses that leadership position over the net in the future. Additionally, there are many potential competitors in the quantum computing arms race, and companies like Alphabet have nearly unlimited resources to spend on this technology, unlike IonQ. It's an uphill battle for IonQ, but if it pans out, it will still make investors a ton of money, although there's no guarantee of success. Between Nvidia and IonQ, I think there's a clear winner as to which stock is the better AI computing play: Nvidia. Nvidia is still rapidly growing and making money from each GPU it sells. We're still a ways out from quantum computing becoming relevant, even though IonQ looks like a promising pick in this space. IonQ is a long-shot investment that could pay off, but if the AI market is as large as Nvidia says it is (alongside many other companies involved in this space), Nvidia will pay off.

Billionaire Israel "Izzy" Englander Has Loaded Up on This Dividend King. Should You?

Billionaire Israel "Izzy" Englander Has Loaded Up on This Dividend King. Should You?

Some actions stand out more than others. Who takes the action makes a difference, of course. How big the action is matters as well. I mention this because one of the world's wealthiest and most successful investors recently did something that especially stood out to me. Billionaire Israel "Izzy" Englander loaded up on a certain Dividend King in the second quarter of 2025. (If you're not familiar with Dividend Kings, they're a group of elite stocks that have increased their dividends for at least 50 consecutive years.) And when I say loaded up, I'm not exaggerating. Izzy's dizzying dividend buy Englander boosted his Millennium Management hedge fund's stake in AbbVie (ABBV +0.02%) by a whopping 416% in Q2. AbbVie has been a member of the Dividend Kings club since 2022. The company has increased its dividend for an impressive 53 consecutive years, including the time it was part of Abbott Laboratories (ABT +0.24%). Granted, Englander made even bigger purchases in Q2. For example, he bought another 2.3 million shares of Applovin (APP +3.78%), a move that increased Millennium Management's position by more than 9x. However, Applovin is a sizzling hot tech stock. It's not surprising for a billionaire to decide to invest more heavily in such a stock. AbbVie, on the other hand, is a big pharma company. It has faced a huge patent cliff over the last couple of years with the loss of U.S. exclusivity for its longtime best-selling autoimmune disease drug Humira. But while the size of Englander's increased position in AbbVie might be somewhat surprising, the fact that the stock is in his portfolio isn't. After all, Millennium Management has over 3,900 holdings. It would probably be more stunning if one of the world's biggest healthcare companies weren't on the list. AbbVie's attractions Why did Englander aggressively buy shares of AbbVie in Q2? To the best of my knowledge, he hasn't commented publicly on the reasons behind his decision. However, we can make some educated guesses as to his rationale. For one thing, AbbVie has navigated Humira's loss of exclusivity exceptionally well. The company has two successors to what was once the best-selling drug in the world -- Skyrizi and Rinvoq. These two therapies are expected to rake in combined sales of more than $25 billion this year. Humira's peak annual sales were around $21 billion. AbbVie's lineup includes other strong performers as well. Five of them generated double-digit percentage year-over-year sales growth in Q2, with migraine drugs Qulipta and Ubrelvy especially standing out. Englander might have considered the strength of AbbVie's pipeline when more than quintupling Millennium Management's stake in the drugmaker. AbbVie has roughly 90 programs in development. Around 50 of them are in mid- and late-stage clinical testing. I wouldn't be surprised if valuation played a role in the billionaire's decision, either. AbbVie's shares trade at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 16.8. That's attractive in a stock market that's trading at a historically high premium. Importantly, AbbVie was even cheaper when Englander significantly increased his position. The big pharma stock has jumped around 20% since the end of Q2. Should you buy this Dividend King, too? No one should buy any stock solely because a wealthy, famous investor bought it. However, buying for the same underlying reasons why that rich investor might have bought it is a different story altogether. I believe that AbbVie offers something for nearly any investor. If you're seeking income, it's a Dividend King with a dividend yield of 2.9%. If you're a value investor, the stock is priced attractively. AbbVie is also poised to deliver solid growth over the next decade and beyond. It can be smart to pay attention when a billionaire investor such as Izzy Englander dramatically increases his stake in a given stock. In AbbVie's case, I think it could also be smart to follow his lead.

German Embassy confirms Akosua Serwaa as Daddy Lumba’s legal wife amid funeral dispute

The German Embassy has finally addressed the ongoing legal and family dispute surrounding the late Ghanaian Highlife legend, Daddy Lumba. The celebrated musician, born Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, passed away at age 60 in the early hours of Saturday, July 26, 2025, at the Bank Hospital in Cantonments, Accra. He had reportedly been receiving treatment at the facility after a period of ill health. READ MORE: Daddy Lumba’s family reacts to reports of joint widowhood rites for Akosua Serwaa, Odo Broni Since his passing, tensions have erupted within his family, with his first wife, Akosua Serwaa, taking legal action against his alleged co-wife, Priscilla Ofori Atta , popularly known as Odo Broni , as well as the family head, Victor Kofi Owusu Banahene, and Transitions Funeral Home. Serwaa’s lawsuit seeks an interlocutory injunction to halt all funeral arrangements for her late husband until the court determines the rightful spouse. The case was first heard at the Kumasi High Court on October 16, 2025, but was adjourned to October 28, 2025, to allow both parties to explore an out-of-court settlement. READ MORE: Ayisha Modi alleges she spent $8,000 on medicine for Daddy Lumba but was never repaid In addition to the court action, Akosua Serwaa also filed a petition with the German Federal Criminal Police, requesting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Daddy Lumba’s death. In a statement released on Monday, October 27, 2025, the German Embassy confirmed that Daddy Lumba and Akosua Serwaa were “legally married under German civil law prior to the singer’s death.” READ MORE: Daddy Lumba’s funeral faces further delay as court adjourns Akosua Serwaa’s injunction case According to the Embassy, the couple “solemnised their marriage on December 23, 2004, in Bornheim, Germany,” and their union was duly registered at the local registry office. The statement further clarified that “no divorce proceedings or legal dissolution of the marriage between Mr Charles Kwadwo Fosuh and Mrs Akosua Serwaa Fosuh had been recorded prior to his passing.” READ MORE: Daddy Lumba’s children distance themselves from legal dispute over his death This official confirmation from the German Embassy appears to strengthen Akosua Serwaa’s legal standing in the ongoing dispute, potentially influencing the outcome of the court case over the late musician’s burial and estate.
