According to the BBC, Donald Trump said the United States' position on the Falkland Islands is "one of many" under review as he pressed the UK to increase military spending. He said Britain has "got some problems, but they'll get solved" when asked about defense funding, after The Daily Telegraph reported that U.S. defense officials were drawing up proposals to encourage NATO allies to meet spending pledges, including a possible threat to oppose UK sovereignty over the Falklands. The UK government said Falkland islanders "are British with a right to determine their own future," while a spokesperson said the islanders have repeatedly said they want to remain a British overseas territory and that the government's commitment is unwavering. The Falkland Islands remain the subject of a sovereignty dispute between Britain and Argentina, which fought a 74-day war over the territory in 1982 that killed 255 British military personnel, three islanders and 649 Argentine soldiers.

According to CNBC, Alphabet's Waymo is expanding commercial driverless rides to San Diego, Tampa, Florida, and Denver, while Amazon's Zoox said it plans to test its vehicles in Houston and San Diego with human drivers on board. Zoox said it will have a presence in 12 U.S. markets when those two cities open. Waymo said the new service marks its first commercial operation in Colorado. The company now has more than 4,000 vehicles across 14 U.S. cities and said it provides over 500,000 robotaxi rides in the U.S. each week, with a goal of reaching 1 million rides by the end of 2026. Goldman Sachs Research forecasts the U.S. robotaxi market will reach $19 billion in 2030, up from about $3 billion next year, before rising to $48 billion in 2035.

Silhouette launched its request-for-quote trading system on Hyperliquid’s blockchain trading layer on Tuesday, initially supporting tokenized stocks from Payward’s xStocks framework. According to ChainCatcher, the system lets traders request quotes for any supported xStock and receive competitive bids from connected market makers, with winning trades settled on-chain at any time and in any size. The RFQ system allows supported xStocks to trade without a dedicated order book, and tokens that generate sufficient activity may later be upgraded to standalone HyperCore markets. Silhouette founder Chandler De Kock said tokenized stocks continue to move on-chain but often lack trading venues, and that assets with real liquidity will be upgraded to their own HyperCore markets. xStocks launched in June 2025 and has reportedly processed more than $40 billion in total trading volume across over 200,000 holders, with nearly $20 billion settled on-chain. The platform issues 1:1-backed tokens tied to publicly listed stocks and has expanded from U.S. equities into European and Asian markets. RWA.xyz data shows about $2.53 billion in outstanding tokenized stocks, with xStocks accounting for about $620.1 million, making it the third-largest issuer behind Ondo and bStocks.

The system lets traders request quotes for any supported xStock, with market makers bidding and final orders settled on-chain without time or single-trade size limits. According to Odaily, xStocks can be matched through an RFQ mechanism without a separate order book, and tokens with sufficient trading activity may later migrate to an independent HyperCore market.
