In a recent discussion on X, Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz reflected on his early Ethereum exit. An X user had retold Schwartz’s story of selling his $ETH holdings for $1.05 each and that the Ripple CTO Emeritus wouldn’t have sold if he thought there was a 1% chance of $ETH hitting $2,368. Schwartz famously sold a total of 40,000 $ETH when the second largest cryptocurrency was trading at just $1.05. The Ripple CTO Emeritus initially bought the 40,000 $ETH tokens at $0.311 and sold because he thought the token had reached its top. The proceeds were used to purchase…

The 2026 Web3 Workforce Report shows a clear shift in web3 jobs: the market is moving from execution to supervision, as AI agents take on more routine work. The adoption tipping point For years, AI was a nice-to-have in crypto hiring. However, the report says 2026 marks a tipping point, based on about 2.000 job ads. AI mentions more than doubled in 12 months, rising from 23% in the first months of 2025 to 53,1% in March 2026. Today, more than half of web3 offers ask for AI skills outright. That shift is changing how teams define talent. In the…

Shiba Inu is showing steady growth beneath the surface, with on-chain data indicating a notable improvement in holders and a decline in exchange balance. This positive update comes even as its price consolidates, suggesting that holders are now looking beyond short-term price action and viewing Shiba Inu ($SHIB) from a long-term perspective.

Miami Beach, FL — Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s CEO, has been closely following the U.S. Senate’s progress on the crypto market structure bill, and he said it’s not a “done deal” as the next two weeks may be pivotal for the legislation’s chances. “If it doesn’t happen then, I think the likelihood is going to drop precipitously,” Garlinghouse said Tuesday at Consensus 2026 in Miami. But he said he still thinks it’s likely to happen, and the next moment will be the scheduling of the Senate Banking Committee’s long-awaited hearing to “mark up” the bill and advance it to the next…

Hut 8 (HUT) shares surged nearly 30% Wednesday as the company announced a 15-year, $9.8 billion lease tied to a large-scale AI data center project in Texas. Hut 8 also said the lease structure includes options that could increase total contract value to about $25.1 billion if all renewal terms are exercised. The Beacoin Point campus was originally intended for bitcoin mining but was repositioned for AI infrastructure as demand for high-performance computing capacity accelerated, Hut 8 said. The company’s pivot comes at a time when publicly listed bitcoin miners face increasingly challenging economics as they face losses of approximately…

Base, the Coinbase-incubated Ethereum Layer 2 network, is upgrading its core architecture from optimistic rollups to a zero-knowledge-based system in a major shift in its security design. The network, which currently holds around $12 billion in total capital, will adopt a trusted execution environment (TEE) combined with zero-knowledge proofs to secure chain finality. Base Makes ZK Leap With this move, Base becomes the largest single Ethereum operator to implement ZK proofs for finality to date, according to the official press release shared with CryptoPotato. After its deployment on mainnet, the majority of the Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem, in terms of…

In brief Caltech researchers say quantum computers may require just 10,000–20,000 qubits to crack modern cryptography. The work outlines a new error-correction approach for neutral-atom quantum computers. The advance could accelerate timelines for machines capable of running Shor’s algorithm, which threatens widely used cryptography. Quantum computers capable of breaking modern cryptography may require far fewer qubits than previously believed, according to new research from the California Institute of Technology. In the study published Monday, Caltech worked with Pasadena-based Oratomic, a quantum computing startup founded by Caltech researchers, to develop a new neutral-atom system in which individual atoms are trapped and…

Ethereum price is eyeing a breakout from the $2,400 resistance, which has capped the token’s gains over the past week. According to data from crypto.news, Ethereum ($ETH) price rebounded 3.5% to $2,393 on May 4 before facing rejection at $2,400 and stabilizing around $2,370 at press time. While Ethereum has briefly broken above the $2,400 mark on two occasions over the past month, the altcoin lost momentum and quickly retraced below the level. However, at press time, several technical and fundamental factors suggest that the token could finally escape from the narrow trading range. Notably, on the daily chart, Ethereum…
