Tezos introduced TzEL, an experimental privacy rollup using zk-STARK proofs and post-quantum cryptography on its testnet. TzEL addresses the “harvest now, decrypt later” problem: encrypted data stored today could be decrypted once quantum computing matures. The project uses Tezos’ data availability layer and rollup architecture to handle proofs of up to 300KB per transaction. Tezos launched TzEL, an experimental privacy rollup deployed on its testnet that stands as one of the first attempts to design private transactions built to resist attacks from quantum computing. The project combines zk-STARK proofs with post-quantum cryptography, deliberately moving away from elliptic curve cryptography that…

Stanford cryptographer Dan Boneh says Bitcoin should prepare for quantum risk now, but warns a rushed post quantum migration could cause worse failures than the threat itself. Bitcoin’s post quantum transition debate is escalating after Isabel Foxen Duke highlighted a fresh interview with Stanford cryptographer Dan Boneh, who argued that the bigger near term danger may be a buggy migration rather than an imminent quantum attack on the network. In the interview, Boneh said, “Don’t panic, but don’t ignore,” framing quantum risk as a serious long range engineering problem rather than an immediate doomsday event for Bitcoin (BTC). “A hasty…

Binance Research said tokenized assets could reach $1.6 trillion by 2030 as institutions test blockchain-based financial products. U.S. Treasury products, gold-backed commodities, and tokenized public equities remain key areas of adoption.

Regulatory progress could shape whether tokenized markets move beyond early institutional pilots. Tokenized Markets Move Toward Wider Adoption Binance Research published a report on May 15 that framed tokenization as a growing bridge between traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure.…

US spot ETFs for altcoins beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum have started pulling in fresh capital again after weeks of muted activity. Funds tracking $XRP, $DOGE, $LINK, and $HBAR all logged net inflows during the first week of May. The $XRP complex led the move. $HBAR broke a two-week dry spell. The shift matters because these regulated wrappers force spot buying on exchanges. Even modest inflows tighten the supply of coins where ETF holdings already account for more than 1% of circulating tokens. Which altcoin ETF is leading the recent inflows? $XRP funds are running hottest. According to SoSoValue data, the…

Kraken said late Friday that it expects to launch CFTC-regulated perpetual futures contracts in the US in the next 30 days, hours after the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission approved the instruments. The exchange said when it gains approval, the contracts will be listed on Bitnomial Exchange, a CFTC-regulated exchange recently acquired by Kraken’s parent company, Payward. However, while Kraken’s announcement said that a filing had been submitted on Friday, no filing for a specific Bitcoin ($BTC) perpetual contact was found among Bitnomial’s recent CFTC filings as of Sunday morning. “Today’s announcement sets in motion plans to bring that activity…

Crypto funds bled almost $1 billion this week as hotter US inflation numbers pushed investors away from risk and hit Bitcoin harder than the rest of the market. CoinShares (STO: CS) said global crypto exchange-traded products lost $920 million, while Bitcoin products alone saw $830 million leave. The pressure started after US producer prices came in much higher than expected. The increase came from services and energy, but energy is the bigger problem for markets right now. Oil prices have climbed because of the ongoing US-Iran conflict, and that is feeding into inflation again. Inflation keeps the Fed boxed in…
