The following is a guest post and opinion of Hatu Sheikh, the founder of Coin Terminal. The traditional crypto VC investing model has failed.

The EFPCs manage retirement savings for tens of thousands of unionized and company-employed workers and their reserves are typically made up of bonds and equities. “The resolution also prohibits investments in virtual assets, considering their specific investment characteristics and associated risk,” a Ministry of Finance notice circulating among local news…

With Ripple’s ecosystem, which is already well-known for its enterprise-grade blockchain solutions, RLUSD has a solid platform on which to grow. As RLUSD starts to provide a substitute…

Fearing an attack by quantum computers, Bitcoin developers have already started coding the hard fork that could alter the currency’s supply. Developer Agustin Cruz is the latest dev to post a draft Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) to the Bitcoin-Dev mailing list. Entitled “Quantum-Resistant Address Migration Protocol” (QRAMP), the draft BIP includes preliminary code and instructions for destroying unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) — colloquially known as bitcoins (BTC) — on the world’s most valuable blockchain. His BIP contains code for a hard fork consensus change that would enact a mandatory migration of quantum-vulnerable UTXOs. For context, Bitcoin’s Elliptic Curve Digital Signature…
