Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance, told BeInCrypto his team can recreate the quantum attack circuits that Google Quantum AI built but refused to publish. He warned that if his organization can do it, nation-states already can too. Google’s March 30 whitepaper showed that two working circuits implementing Shor’s algorithm to break 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography could be built with fewer than 500,000 physical qubits. The team chose not to release the code and instead published a zero-knowledge proof. Goertzel told BeInCrypto that decision changes nothing. “Keeping Capabilities Secret Buys You at Most a Very Short…

A few months ago, I was sitting with a payments executive who had spent the better part of a year evaluating blockchain. It was the usual story at first. Internal debates, risk assessments, small pilots that were treated more like science experiments than real infrastructure. Then something changed. He told me that at a certain point, the question inside his company stopped being “should we use this?” and quietly became “why aren’t we already using this everywhere we can?” Not because of hype, but because the systems they were testing were faster, cheaper, and more flexible than what they had…

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a significant development for cryptocurrency regulation, a prominent U.S. lawmaker has raised serious questions about the legal foundation of Kraken’s Federal Reserve master account, potentially challenging the crypto exchange’s direct access to the nation’s central banking system. Representative Maxine Waters, the ranking Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, has formally questioned the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City about its approval of what it terms a “limited master account” for the digital asset platform.

Naoris Protocol has launched its mainnet, introducing a layer-1 blockchain designed to use post-quantum cryptography for transaction validation and network security. The network is live with limited, invite-only participation, allowing early users to run validator nodes and process transactions. According to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph, it integrates cryptographic standards finalized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to address risks in existing blockchains, where current encryption methods could become vulnerable over time. Before mainnet, the protocol’s test network processed more than 100 million transactions and identified hundreds of millions of potential threats, according to the project, with…

Ethereum is opening Q2 2026 trading above $2.1k, still well below the levels needed to suggest any meaningful trend reversal. After a brutal first quarter that saw $ETH lose around a third of its value from the late-2025 highs, the question heading into the new quarter is whether the asset can finally find a base, or whether the selling pressure has more room to run.
