Sei Labs introduced SIP-5, a governance proposal that allows existing accounts to adopt quantum-resistant cryptography without changing wallet addresses, balances, or transaction history. The framework aims to preserve compatibility while improving long-term security. The proposal arrives years before quantum computers pose a practical threat, giving developers, wallets, and users ample time to prepare rather than rushing a network-wide upgrade. SIP-5 recognizes current performance trade-offs tied to post-quantum cryptography while encouraging further research into faster signature schemes that could protect blockchain networks without sacrificing efficiency. Quantum computing remains an emerging technology, but Sei Labs believes blockchain networks should begin preparing before…

In an unexpected turn of events, Vietnam unveiled one of its strictest frameworks for regulating cryptocurrencies to date. This does not imply that cryptos are prohibited in Vietnam though. On the contrary, it means that the nation is altering the manner and location of their trade. For context, Vietnam lacked a fully regulated domestic cryptocurrency market. In fact, the majority of its users have up until now relied on international exchanges like Binance, Bybit, OKX, or other offshore platforms. Thanks to the recently issued decree (Decree No. 284/2026/NĐ-CP), the government hopes that trading will move from these foreign platforms to…

On July 24, the Commodity Futures and Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that it is granting a no-action relief to Small Exchange, which is owned by Kraken, regarding its Designated Contract Market procedures.

However, it had been inactive for more than a year. Without this relief, it would have been dormant and had to go through…

In April, he stated that he wanted to help Cardano win and potentially push $ADA to the top spot on CoinMarketCap. Although he did not explicitly mention Bitcoin at the time, achieving the…

Bolivia is considering adding Tether’s $USDT stablecoin to its national payments system, marking another step in the country’s shift from banning crypto transactions to allowing regulated digital asset use.
