Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure XRP is struggling to push above current levels. The market is uncertain. And the chart is not offering any comfort — three moving averages sit above the current price, each one a layer of resistance the market has not found the strength to challenge. A CryptoQuant report tracking XRP’s technical structure on Binance has produced a reading that leaves little room for interpretation. The 30-day moving average stands at approximately $1.40. The 90-day moving average sits near $1.64. The 200-day moving average is at $2.06. The current…

In brief Caltech researchers say quantum computers may require just 10,000–20,000 qubits to crack modern cryptography. The work outlines a new error-correction approach for neutral-atom quantum computers. The advance could accelerate timelines for machines capable of running Shor’s algorithm, which threatens widely used cryptography. Quantum computers capable of breaking modern cryptography may require far fewer qubits than previously believed, according to new research from the California Institute of Technology.In the study published Monday, Caltech worked with Pasadena-based Oratomic, a quantum computing startup founded by Caltech researchers, to develop a new neutral-atom system in which individual atoms are trapped and controlled…

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure CoinShares (CSHR), one of Europe’s largest crypto asset managers, made its long‑anticipated US market debut on Wednesday after completing a merger with Vine Hill Capital that created the holding company CoinShares PLC.  The transaction, first announced in September and closed late Tuesday, values the business at about $1.2 billion and included a $50 million strategic investment from institutional backers. CoinShares’ CEO Urges Patience After 25% Slide The listing, however, got off to a rocky start. On its first session on the Nasdaq, CoinShares’ shares plunged roughly 25%,…

What looks like a geopolitical threat aimed at US multinationals could quickly become a crypto story too.That is because several of the companies threatened by Iran now sit inside the infrastructure, payments, and corporate treasury layers that parts of the digital-asset industry rely on.According to the Wall Street Journal, the IRGC warned that US companies in the region would be targeted from April 1 and named firms including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Intel, IBM, Tesla, and Boeing. Other multinationals mentioned in the reports included JPMorgan Chase, Oracle, Palantir, Cisco, HP, and Nvidia.Why this matters: Crypto is no longer exposed only through…

In brief Quantum computers cannot break Bitcoin today, but progress is accelerating. New research suggests fewer resources may be needed to crack encryption. The real challenge, experts say, is upgrading before it’s needed. Two new research papers—one from Google and another from Caltech researchers at startup Oratomic—have revived a long-running question in crypto. What happens when quantum computing becomes powerful enough to break modern cryptography?Researchers warned this week that advances in the field could threaten the cryptographic systems underpinning cryptocurrencies and other digital infrastructure sooner than expected, showing that future machines may be able to break elliptic curve cryptography with…

In brief Fed Governor Michael Barr called on regulators to implement anti-money-laundering controls for stablecoins following last year’s passage of the GENIUS Act. He identified stablecoins’ accessibility on “secondary markets” as a key area of concern, while global watchdogs have recently focussed on peer-to-peer transfers. A U.S. Treasury report urged Congress this month to consider a law that would grant institutions legal protections for voluntarily freezing questionable digital assets. Needing nothing more than a phone and internet connection to hold stablecoins may be a blessing for some, but that accessibility presents risks that regulators still need to address, according to…

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has formally begun implementing the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, releasing its first notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) and opening a 60-day public comment period. The 87-page proposal outlines how the Treasury will determine whether state-level stablecoin regulatory regimes are “substantially similar” to the federal framework—a key threshold allowing smaller issuers to remain under state supervision. Under the GENIUS Act, stablecoin issuers with less than $10 billion in outstanding supply can opt for state-level regulation, provided those regimes meet or exceed federal standards. The proposed rule establishes broad principles…
