Quantum computers are not just “computers, but faster.” They function in a very fundamentally different way from a classical computer, and as such they are much more efficient than classical computers at very specific kinds of computations. Now obviously, I’m not going to actually explain how quantum computers work in minute detail within four pages, but I will give you the core intuition of how they are fundamentally different from a classical computer. So let’s take a look at how both kinds of computers interact with things like large cryptographic keys. Classical Computers Everything stored in a classical computer (or…

Goolsbee said the Fed needs to have the courage to respond to inflation. He expressed optimism that the Fed can bring inflation back to its 2% target, provided there are no signs of overheating demand, adding that officials are still analyzing how much of the inflation is due to supply shocks and how much is due to demand. He pointed to the strong performance in artificial intelligence investments and the impact of ongoing supply shocks on inflation. Goolsbee stated that as of July, US PCE inflation was at 3.7 percent, and that achieving the 2 percent target depended on easing…

The congressional elections will determine whether the Republican majorities change hands in the U.S. House of Representatives, Senate or both and “will motivate certain people or reduce motivation for others,” Witt noted — with many political observers assuming Democrats won’t want to make any Clarity Act deals if they surge to greater authority at the end of the year. “There’s no time to waste now,” said Witt, whose primary task to get the Clarity Act passed by this Congress was foiled by U.S. Senate politics. He pointed to a rush of crypto progress since last week at the U.S. Securities…

The classification changed while the underlying recorded transfers remained on-chain; the release offers no direct measure of how real-world activity changed. Visa does not publish comparable pre- and post-refresh adjusted stablecoin volume totals in its changelog, so the size of the value revision cannot be calculated from that disclosure. The published pages also do not provide matched-window, same-definition chain results that would show how much of the revision fell on Ethereum, Tron, Solana or any other network. Why adjusted stablecoin volume can shift while counts barely move A transfer count gives each included event one unit, whether it moves a…

Myriad: Bitcoin’s next move? Click to make your prediction. With Friday’s Consumer Price Index report and the Fed’s September 15 meeting both looming, markets are bracing for more volatility before the week is out. It may look dicey in the near term, but investors who zoom out will find that, on the Bitcoin chart at least, there’s a pattern beginning to form that’s been historically a very bullish signal. Bitcoin price: What the charts say Bitcoin opened today at $78,282 and touched an intraday high of $78,526 before sellers took over, dragging the price of BTC down to a low…

How Batch V1.1 Was Hardened Batch V1.1 is a replacement amendment that eliminates the early-return bug. RippleX said the root-cause fix was merged through pull request #6446 and reviewed by four senior engineers, with additional assurance from a Sherlock Batch Attackathon contest, a Halborn re-assessment and a Common Prefix audit. An AI-assisted static analysis pipeline that includes a Cantina scan has been folded into the release process, alongside regression testing on devnet and testnet. The amendment ships in the xrpld v3.3.0 release, which bundles it with five other proposals. Atomic Transactions and What Comes Next Batch is designed to let…

By the Numbers Despite the absence of significant trading volume in the last 24 hours, the interest generated by 0x9c6a’s position suggests that traders are closely monitoring Solana.

The ecosystem has attracted significant attention due to its scalability and transaction speed, positioning it as a competitor to Ethereum. The recent…

U.S. producer inflation contributed to the risk reduction. August headline producer price inflation reached 5.4%, slightly above the 5.3% forecast, while core PPI climbed to 4.6%, its highest reading since June 2026. The hotter figures added to concerns that the Federal Reserve could raise rates at its Sept. 15–16 meeting. Higher rates can place pressure on crypto and other risk assets by raising yields on cash and government debt. Bitcoin’s daily chart shows that the latest retreat followed several failed attempts to sustain gains above $80,000. Price also formed lower highs after its early September peak above $82,000, showing that…
