Trezor has integrated native stablecoin yield functionality into Trezor Suite, the hardware wallet provider’s desktop and mobile application, in a move that could make earning yield on stablecoins more accessible to users who have traditionally avoided decentralized finance due to its complexity and security risks.Announced on Thursday, the feature comes through an integration with Morpho, a decentralized lending protocol built on Ethereum. The integration allows users to deposit USDt (USDT) and USDC (USDC) into pre-selected Morpho vaults directly through Trezor Suite without connecting external wallets or using separate DeFi applications.According to Trezor, deposits, withdrawals and reward claims are signed directly…

Remember way back, when Microsoft first announced that Windows 11 required something called TPM 2.0? I sure remember the collective outrage from the tech community. But not really because people felt particularly strongly about Trusted Platform Modules. That would be somewhat odd. It was more directed at Microsoft suddenly deciding that its new operating system needed this technology that no one had ever heard of, and the company’s explanation was, “You need this.” It wasn’t a great message, and it still isn’t brilliant now, because TPM is doing way more on your system than you really know — and it’s…

Editor’s note: This article is the first in a three-part series on the state of venture investment to Black-founded startups in 2026.

Dima Rasnovsky, who oversees operations for global on-demand delivery platform Glovo across six African markets, told TechCabal in an interview in early May that those frictions are not obstacles, but the foundation of a distinctly African model for online commerce. In his view, the continent’s delivery economy is unlikely…
USB-C feels like the sensible ending to a long story, and not all of that story made a whole lot of sense. USB took plenty of strange detours before getting there, and some ideas were genius, while others didn’t stand the test of time. The next time you complain about needing a USB-A or micro-USB cable, think back to these USB standards that tried to make USB smarter and more flexible, but ultimately all gave way to what we all crave: convenience. USB OTG Your phone briefly became the computer USB On-The-Go, usually shortened to just USB OTG, was one…
