Ripple CEO: The company has spent more than $150 million in legal fees and will fight the SEC to the end if it appeals

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse commented on the SEC's lawsuit, stating that Ripple has spent over $150 million in legal fees. If the SEC's lawsuit ultimately appeals to the Supreme Court, Ripple will also fight to the end with the SEC.
In addition, Garlinghouse believes that the SEC's stance on cryptocurrency is the main obstacle to the development of the industry. Although the United States continues to express hostility towards cryptocurrencies, other countries including Japan, Switzerland, Australia, and the United Kingdom have established clear regulatory frameworks to help the industry flourish. Despite this, Garlinghouse believes that the United States still has the potential to become a global leader in the cryptocurrency field.

  • Nature: Scientists achieve continuous operation of 3000-qubit system

    paper published in Nature on September 15th showed an experimental architecture for continuous operation of high-speed reloading and large-scale atomic array systems by a research team from Harvard University and MIT, while achieving coherent storage and manipulation of quantum information. Researchers achieved the generation of over 30,000 initialized quantum bits per second using a light capture reloading rate of 300,000 atoms per second, assembling and maintaining an array containing over 3,000 atoms, with a continuous operation time of over two hours. Scientists involved in this research stated that this achievement lays the foundation for developing fault-tolerant quantum computers for large-scale continuous operation.
