Over the past 18 months, Bhutan has sold 70% of its Bitcoin holdings

Exodus has launched a new feature, Exodus Pay, turning its crypto wallet from a storage tool into a solution for everyday payments. Users can pay with USDC and Bitcoin anywhere that accepts Visa or Apple Pay. The functionality is встроена directly into the wallet app, with no separate download required. Exodus positions the service as an alternative to centralized payment apps.

Binance Wallet has launched Pre-IPO trading The service allows users to trade shares of companies that have not yet gone public but are planning to do so soon. Among the available options are SpaceX and OpenAI.

Nearly 850,000 BTC (over 9% of the total supply) were purchased in the $60,000–$70,000 range this year. Amid headlines about large sell-offs, it’s often overlooked that selling is impossible without buyers.

Scroll sets a record This is a world anti-record for the worst crypto investment in history. Down 99.8% from the price of its last funding round

The largest inverse correlation in history between global money supply and Bitcoin price has been recorded

A researcher from StarkWare has published a new scientific paper describing a way to protect Bitcoin transactions from quantum computers without a soft fork Researcher Avihu Levy introduced the concept of Quantum Safe Bitcoin (QSB) — a scheme that makes Bitcoin transactions resistant to quantum attacks using only existing Bitcoin Script limitations. According to the paper, standard Bitcoin transactions rely on Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm, which could be broken by sufficiently powerful quantum computers using Shor's algorithm. To address this, QSB replaces reliance on elliptic curve cryptography with a construction based on Binohash, using a one-time signature scheme embedded directly into Bitcoin Script. Binohash ensures transaction integrity via a proof-of-work-style mechanism based on signature size. However, as noted in the paper, such a mechanism could also be vulnerable to quantum attacks. QSB mitigates this by introducing a “hash-to-signature” challenge, where the sender must solve a task based purely on hashing rather than elliptic curve math — making the scheme resistant to quantum attacks that target elliptic curve cryptography.

Inflation in the U.S. has sharply risen to 3.3% (up from 2.4%). This is likely to spark renewed discussions about potential Federal Reserve rate hikes. At the same time, the crypto market has not reacted negatively.

Top prediction markets by fees collected over the past 30 days Kalshi leads with $124 million — 8 times more than Polymarket! The company is regulated by the CFTC, based in the U.S., and integrated with Fox News, CNN, and CNBC. Most users don’t even trade — 70% come just to check the odds. Over a year, Kalshi could generate around $1.5 billion. In total, prediction markets brought in more than $142 million over the past 30 days.

Binance is relocating its employees from the UAE to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok due to the war in the Middle East.

Bitcoin has reached its bottom — Michael Saylor He pointed out that market downturns typically end not with improving sentiment, but with the exhaustion of forced sellers. According to him, the latest decline was largely driven by overleveraged miners and weaker market participants liquidating their positions. Saylor also described concerns about quantum computers as exaggerated.

Bitcoin developer Olaoluwa Osuntokun has introduced a prototype solution that could save user wallets in the event of a quantum attack If powerful quantum computers emerge, they could forge digital signatures and steal funds. One proposed defense (BIP-360) is to migrate to quantum-resistant wallets. Osuntokun предложил an alternative approach: instead of proving ownership via a signature (which quantum computers could break), users would prove that a wallet was generated from a specific seed — without revealing the seed itself. How it works: 🟢 The user mathematically proves: “this is my wallet” 🟢 Private data is not disclosed 🟢 Access can be restored even if signatures are no longer secure

Crypto exchange Bybit (the second-largest in the world by trading volume) detected and blocked coordinated attacks involving fake deposits across multiple blockchains, preventing potential losses of over $1 billion in DOT. User funds were not affected. The attacks used packetized and multi-stage transactions to simulate deposits, but they were identified and neutralized in real time thanks to advanced multi-layer verification systems.

Today, a Bitcoin ETF from Morgan Stanley (MBST) is entering the market, which, according to Bloomberg estimates, will be the largest launch of Bitcoin products since they first appeared. Eric Balchunas’ forecast: $5 billion in assets under management in the first year and $30 million in trading volume on the first day.

Long-term holders of Bitcoin have increased their holdings to 4.37 million BTC.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission acknowledged that there were shortcomings in its previous crypto enforcement actions and that it had misinterpreted securities law.
