Google’s Quantum AI team said earlier this week that a future quantum computer could derive a bitcoin private key from a public key in roughly nine minutes. The number ricocheted across social media and spooked markets.But, what does it actually mean in practice?Let’s start with how bitcoin transactions work. When you send bitcoin, your wallet signs the transaction with a private key, a secret number that proves you own the coins. That signature also reveals your public key, a shareable address, which gets broadcast to the network and sits in a waiting area called the mempool until a miner includes…

XRP is holding above $1.30. Yesterday it was not — the level broke for several hours before buyers stepped back in. The recovery is real. The market behind it is nearly empty. An Arab Chain report tracking transaction activity on Binance has identified a condition that places the current price defense in its proper context: XRP deposits and withdrawals on the platform have reached their lowest levels since 2025. Related Reading Over the past 30 days, deposit transactions totaled approximately 310,500 while withdrawal transactions reached around 329,400 — a net negative count of approximately -18,900.

Nearly six months after the Oct. 10 flash crypto crash erased millions of dollars in a single day, Bitcoin remains under pressure, trading well below its recent peak. The asset reached an all-time high of $126,080 on Oct. 6, but has since fallen about 47% to roughly $67,000. Despite the drawdown, Cathie Wood, a long-time BTC advocate and chief executive of ARK Investment Management, is urging investors to maintain a long-term perspective. Wood, whose firm was among the first publicly listed asset managers to gain exposure to Bitcoin in 2015, has maintained an active presence in crypto-related equities. ARK Invest…

Ethereum is pressing against a double-top resistance zone at $2,163 after two consecutive rejections from the upper boundary of its rising parallel channel, while a marginal bullish MACD crossover on the 4H chart raises the question of whether buyers can finally break through or whether the pattern will resolve to the downside toward $1,980. Summary Ethereum is trading at $2,051.80, holding inside a rising parallel channel on both the daily and 4H timeframes after twice rejecting from the $2,163-$2,166 resistance zone. The 4H MACD histogram has just turned positive to 1.19, signalling a bullish crossover, while the daily Supertrend at…

Cambodia’s parliament passed legislation targeting compounds used to defraud victims through scams, including those involving cryptocurrency.In a Friday notice, the Senate of the Kingdom of Cambodia announced that the chamber had unanimously approved the draft law with no amendment, with 58 senators voting yes.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Ethereum is trying to hold $2,000. The market is coiling for a significant move. And the organization that has been selling this asset for months has just changed what it is doing with its ETH. Data from Arkham Intelligence has confirmed a behavioral shift at the Ethereum Foundation that the market has been waiting for without knowing it was waiting: the Foundation has stopped selling ETH and has started staking it. That sentence requires context to carry its full weight. For much of the past several months,…

After the $285 million Drift hack, the focus is shifting to Circle (CRCL) and whether it could have done more to stop the money.The attacker siphoned off roughly $71 million in USDC as part of the exploit Wednesday, according to blockchain security firm PeckShield. After converting most of the rest of the stolen assets to USDC, the hacker used Circle’s cross-chain transfer protocol, CCTP, to bridge about $232 million in USDC from Solana to Ethereum, making recovery efforts more difficult.That movement has drawn criticism from parts of the crypto community, including prominent blockchain investigator ZachXBT, who argued Circle could have…

A Bank of Canada staff paper found that Aave V3 reported zero non-performing loans in 2024, with overcollateralization and automated liquidations helping prevent lender losses in its Ethereum lending market.Using transaction-level data from Jan. 27, 2023, to May 6, 2025, the study found that positions were typically liquidated before collateral values fell below outstanding debt, helping contain lender losses across the sample.But the model came with a tradeoff, the paper said. While it protected lenders from unrecovered losses, it also shifted risk onto borrowers and constrained capital efficiency compared with traditional lending systems.According to the paper, Aave V3’s design relies…
