SEC Chair Paul Atkins said Friday the agency is considering changes to how securities regulations apply to blockchain-based financial markets and AI-powered financial applications, as digital asset firms increasingly move trading and settlement activity onchain. Speaking at the AI+ Expo in Washington, Atkins said the SEC is considering formal rulemaking around onchain trading systems, blockchain settlement infrastructure, automated financial applications and crypto vaults that increasingly blur the lines between traditional players. Existing securities rules were designed around traditional market intermediaries such as brokers, exchanges and clearinghouses, he argued, while newer blockchain systems often combine those functions into a single software…

In brief Firms are building quantum-resistant wallets ahead of blockchain upgrades. Approaches range from MPC upgrades to layer-2 overlays. Experts say user behavior and coordination remain weak points in quantum upgrade rollouts. Crypto companies are moving to secure their wallet and custody offerings against a future quantum computing threat, aiming to upgrade user-facing infrastructure faster than blockchains can change their core protocols. The shift reflects a growing view that network-level upgrades to blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum could take years, leaving wallets exposed in the meantime. And the timeline for the purported “Q-Day” threat to crypto could be coming faster…

For now, Ethereum price today points to a market that has stabilized after earlier weakness, but the broader recovery still lacks clear momentum confirmation. $ETH/USDT — daily chart with candlesticks, EMA20/EMA50 and volume. Main Scenario: Neutral on the Daily Chart Ethereum is trading around $2,334.71, and the daily chart still leans neutral-to-bullish. Price sits above the 20-day and 50-day EMAs. That tells you buyers have managed to stabilize the market after the earlier weakness. That said, $ETH remains well below the 200-day EMA, so the bigger recovery is incomplete. This is not a clean trend breakout yet. Instead, it is…
