If Fidelity decides to stop offering transfers as a feature for retail customers, it must give its California customers reasonable written notice. Fidelity can still restrict or disallow transfers to protect its platform or individual account holders. Fidelity’s…

Myriad: How high will Bitcoin go? Click to make your prediction. The industry calls the hypothetical arrival of such a machine “Q-Day.” No such computer exists today, and estimates for when one might range widely—but the timelines keep compressing, which is why preparation has accelerated. The fixes fall into three buckets, and this week produced news on each. The first is making quantum-resistant transactions work under Bitcoin’s current rules. StarkWare, which mined the first quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction on mainnet last month, said an open competition—with AI models topping the leaderboards—cut the estimated cost of building one from about $320 to…

Deutsche Bank (DB) plans to bring its crypto custody service to Asia in 2027, extending its push into digital assets as it prepares to launch the service in Germany within weeks. The German banking giant, Reuters reported citing the firm’s co-head, also plans to offer stablecoin conversion, tokenized deposits and services that help clients issue digital bonds and other blockchain-based securities.

BIP138’s answer is an encrypted file holding descriptors, wallet policies or other non-seed metadata. Private key material must be removed before encryption. A holder of an eligible xpub from the backed-up wallet can decrypt a copy without the wallet’s seed. That reveals public keys and script structure needed for recovery, while the xpub alone does not give the holder the private keys required to sign. The draft sets limits on who can decrypt. Public keys that appear directly in a script, and xpub roots that could be exposed by spending, are excluded as recovery keys. If a cosigner’s key is…

The new venue operates under the SEC’s “Innovation Exemption,” an order the agency issued and put into effect on September 17. It says that permissioned onchain trading platforms, which the SEC calls Tokenized Securities Venues, don’t count as “exchanges,” and that the firms providing liquidity don’t have to register as “dealers.” Davis Polk, which advised a client on the matter, says the relief lasts five years, until September 17, 2031. Before a venue can list a token made by a third party, it has to give the company a heads-up. The company then has a month to say no, or…
