A MAJOR quantum leap. 🔥

Researchers just cut a benchmark for ONE STEP in a potential Bitcoin and Ethereum attack by over 50%, per CoinDesk.

More than 100 participants worked alongside AI coding agents for roughly eight weeks.

They reduced the computing resources needed for a calculation that could eventually help unlock crypto wallets.

Their result BEAT Google’s earlier benchmark, although the comparison is not perfectly like-for-like.

But, Bitcoin and Ethereum have NOT been cracked.

The improvement covers one step, not a complete attack.

Of note, NO existing quantum computer can use it to break either network today.

Better software can lower the barrier even before better hardware arrives.

🚨MACRO: Today’s PPI and Friday’s CPI are key inflation tests before the Fed’s September 15–16 meeting.

PPI offers an early look at price pressures facing producers, while CPI shows what consumers are paying.

CPI follows Friday, giving policymakers another crucial reading before their rate decision.

Together, they could reshape rate-hike expectations.

Softer-than-expected readings could support stocks and crypto, while hotter figures could push yields higher and pressure markets. $ZEC
