Brazil based digital banking giant Nubank is exploring a potential acquisition or combination with UK digital bank Monzo in early stage discussions valuing the target between eight billion and ten billion pounds. Monzo board members are simultaneously evaluating an independent funding round exceeding eight billion pounds to finance a major expansion into mainland Europe. Neither Monzo nor Nubank executives have commented on the published reports regarding the preliminary negotiations.

Earth’s Shape Accelerates Toward Roundness

Tap title to read story

New research shows Earth’s solid surface is becoming rounder faster as polar ice melts. The study, published in the journal JGR Solid Earth, used Global Navigation Satellite System data to measure surface motion. Between 2011 and 2015, polar uplift averaged about 0.02 to 0.04 inches per year, while the equatorial bulge contracted at a similar rate. The rate of change has accelerated compared to 1997‑2000, with each decade seeing a 0.01‑inch increase in polar uplift and a 0.02‑inch increase in equatorial contraction. These minuscule shifts, driven by melting glaciers, indicate a measurable, hastening increase in Earth’s roundness.
