At Token2049 Singapore in October 2026, Muneeb Ali, co-founder of Stacks, warned that Bitcoin has about two years to upgrade its cryptography to quantum-resistant signatures, followed by another two years for users to migrate their coins to these safer addresses. This four-year timeline aligns with US standards aiming to phase out vulnerable cryptography by 2035. The upgrade could reduce Bitcoin's base transaction capacity to 10%, pushing more activity off-chain onto secondary layers like Stacks, which is developing a post-quantum security layer and plans to increase network capacity significantly. Bitcoin holders should prepare to move coins to quantum-safe addresses to maintain security as quantum computing threats grow.

Last week, U.S. stocks declined with the S&P 500 dropping 0.5% and the Nasdaq falling 0.7%, driven by volatile trading and weakness in tech and semiconductor sectors. The S&P 500 experienced its second 1%+ drop in five days, a rare event since July. ...
In the third quarter, TVA Group was the top performer with a 46.7% increase, driven by first-half earnings reaching levels not seen in over ten years. Intercontinental Exchange also saw a strong 23.5% gain, reflecting reduced regulatory concerns abou...
David Schwartz, Ripple's CTO emeritus, suggested that XRP could serve as a bridge connecting various Bitcoin representations on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This means that wrapped or bridged Bitcoin tokens on XRPL might depend on XRP to transfer value bet...
Bitcoin is trading around $80,000, a critical support level that aligns with corporate average purchase prices and significant options market activity. A drop below $79,000 could accelerate a decline toward $75,000, while a rise above $83,000 would w...
