Nearly 10% of the total Bitcoin supply is considered “structurally unsafe” due to a quantum computing breakthrough, as their output type reveals the public key by design, regardless of address management practices, according to data analytics platform Glassnode. Totaling about 1.92 million Bitcoin ($BTC), the group includes $BTC from early Satoshi-era Pay-to-Public-Key (P2PK) outputs, legacy multi-sig structures such as Pay-to-Multisig (P2MS) and modern Pay-to-Taproot (P2TR) outputs, which reveal the public key or public key-equivalent by design, wrote Glassnode in a Wednesday X post. Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto’s coins represent about 1.1 million or 5.5% of the vulnerable supply, following another…

Latest developments: Klein argued the Commodity Futures Trading Commission faces a dramatically larger mandate as lawmakers consider expanding its authority over digital assets. Klein recently joined Rebecca Rettig and Renato Mariotti on CoinDesk’s The Policy Protocol. Klein said the CFTC was originally created to oversee commodity futures markets and was not built for the scale of responsibilities envisioned under current crypto legislation. He warned that giving the agency new powers without additional staff, funding and expertise could create the appearance of regulation without meaningful oversight. Klein expressed concern that regulatory capacity has been weakened by personnel departures and structural changes…

Analyst CryptoQuant Maartunn detected a major on-chain transaction in which 500 $BTC, which had remained completely dormant for more than 10 years, were moved to a new address for the first time.

According to analysts, 30.2% (6.04 million $BTC) of the total market supply is already potentially vulnerable to future quantum attacks. 500 $BTC…

In brief Ethereum dropped 8% today alone, crashing through the $2,000 psychological support zone and hitting an intraday low near $1,814. On Myriad, traders are now betting $ETH reaches $1,500 before it bounces back to $3,000—a probability that surged nearly 25% in recent weeks. The charts back the bearish bet: RSI is in bear territory, the Squeeze Momentum Indicator just fired a bearish signal, and there’s no meaningful support between $1,700 and the $1,400–$1,500 range.

The “Gensler winter” and its aftermath is upon us, writes Stefan Muehlbauer, CertiK Head of U.S. Government Affairs, in a viral new op-ed. Under former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, crypto firms faced a campaign of “regulation by enforcement,” marked by high‑profile lawsuits and an intentional refusal to provide clear compliance pathways. This era, Muehlbauer argues, was defined by a calculated ambiguity that stifled domestic innovation, with many warning that the industry’s brightest minds and most significant capital would move to offshore jurisdictions. While the present atmosphere feels decidedly more optimistic, it is essential to note how this stability is tethered…
