The quantum threat to Bitcoin may be far less concentrated than widely assumed — and that structural detail is quietly reshaping how developers and investors think about the risk. Related Reading A Distributed Problem, Not A Single Target Coins attributed to Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto are spread across roughly 22,000 separate addresses, each holding…
At a series of developer meetups and workshop sessions early this year, Ethereum’s core contributors signaled a major shift: defending against the future isn’t optional anymore. Post-quantum security — once a back-burner research topic — has become a top strategic priority for the Ethereum Foundation and its ecosystem. That means real teams, real roadmaps, and…
Anthropic on Tuesday formally unveiled Claude Mythos Preview, a new frontier AI model that can autonomously discover and exploit zero-day software vulnerabilities at a scale the company says exceeds both human security researchers and every automated tool in existence. Alongside it, Anthropic launched Project Glasswing, a defensive coalition with roughly 40 organisations — including Apple,…
Ripple’s escrow accounts are among the wallets that may not be as protected as they appear. A new breakdown of every account on the XRP Ledger found that multi-signature wallets — including those tied to Ripple — hold 36.60 billion XRP, or over 36% of the total supply, but are not automatically shielded from future…
A Small Demonstration With Large Implications A quantum computer has broken a 15-bit elliptic-curve cryptography key, a simplified version of the kind of cryptographic system used to secure Bitcoin, Ethereum, and much of the digital asset economy. The result was announced by quantum security firm Project Eleven, which awarded its one Bitcoin “Q-Day Prize” to…
Bitcoin slid below $70,000 on Tuesday for the first time since April, touching an intraday low near $67,300 and extending a grind that has now erased roughly 45% of the asset's value since its $126,198 record last October. ZCash meanwhile, continues to outperform. Zcash is rising, but the Bitcoin selling is the familiar kind —…
Two executive orders pull Washington's post-quantum deadline forward to 2031 and target a working quantum computer by 2028. For a crypto market already arguing about whether to freeze Satoshi's coins, the timing is pointed. President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Monday aimed at cementing US leadership in quantum computing and dragging the federal…
