The method uses hash-based security without changing Bitcoins consensus rules. StarkWare still favors a soft fork as a long-term defense against quantum computers. Starkware, the blockchain infrastructure company behind Ethereum layer-2 network Starknet, says the first quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction has been mined on the Bitcoin mainnet, testing a way to protect funds from future quantum attacks without changing the networks consensus rules.

In a blog post on Wednesday, Starkware said the transaction used Quantum-Safe Bitcoin, or QSB, a method developed by Starkware researcher Avihu Levy. Levy published the research in April, and Starkware engineer Tomer Giladi later helped turn the proposal into a working mainnet transaction. A quantum-safe transaction was mined on the Bitcoin mainnet today that holds up against an adversary running a working quantum computer, Starkware wrote. Bitcoin holders now have a way to move coins into storage a quantum computer cannot open. Bitcoin uses elliptic-curve cryptography to secure transactions, which a sufficiently powerful quantum computer running Shors algorithm could theoretically break to derive private keys and steal funds.

Developer Craig Raw said the review produced most of the updates fixes. He found no signs of exploitation but recommends updating. Privacy-focused Bitcoin wallet developer Sparrow Wallet released version 2.5.4 on Thursday after an AI-assisted code review that yielded most of the updates fixes, developer Craig Raw told Decrypt.

Raw said the review was prompted primarily by the release of unrestricted Chinese AI models and the new ability to search large codebases for potential exploits. He did not identify the models used to review Sparrow. The review followed a July attack involving a flaw in Coldcards seed-generation code. The vulnerability allowed an attacker to reconstruct private keys without accessing the physical devices.

Bitcoin is knocking on the door of its next major resistance wall right as the world's most-watched central banking conference gets underway with an agenda that, for once, is actually about crypto's own back yard. BTC is changing hands at $80,526, up 1.9% today after opening at $79,023 and tagging an intraday high of $80,808. That puts the cryptocurrency roughly 2.5% below the $82,538 level that capped a previous breakout attempt, and it comes two days after Bitcoin was rejected near $81,000 as its 50-week moving average, sitting around $81,085, capped the rally.

Zhao separately described his reserve advice to governments as a little bit self-serving, since BNB lands in the basket he recommends. Bitcoin will overtake gold, and it could happen as soon as the next bull run, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao told a conference audience in Hong Kong on Thursday.

I think Bitcoin will, for sure, become more important than gold, Zhao said during a session at Bitcoin Asia billed as The Bitcoin Century, when asked whether the asset would outrank bullion for sovereign holders. The obstacle is institutional rather than technical, he argued. Large countries already have mechanisms for valuing gold and holding it, and replacing that apparatus takes years. For those countries to shift into Bitcoin will take time, but it will happen, he said, noting that the market value gap between gold and BTC has narrowed to roughly tenfold. I think Bitcoin will overtake gold pretty soon, he said, adding that, In the next bull run, it could happen.

The project told operators to verify and install its forthcoming update promptly. Operators who cannot upgrade should use --offline instead of shutting down their nodes, Core Lightning said. The developers of Bitcoin payments software Core Lightning warned node operators in an X post on Wednesday that several vulnerabilities flagged in a wave of AI-generated security reports are real and that developers are coordinating a fix.

The project told operators to install and verify the forthcoming update promptlyor run their nodes offline if they cannot upgrade instead of shutting them down and leaving their payment channels unmonitored. That flag stops peer connections, so no payments route in, out or through your node, Core Lightning wrote. It keeps running, which means it keeps watching the chain and can still act if a counterparty force-closes a channel. A node that is powered off cannot do that, and that is why switching off is the worse option. Core Lightning develops software used to send and route Bitcoin payments over the Lightning Network, which acts as a second-layer network and speeds up transactions.

Gates puts a ceiling of roughly 40% of jobs under the most aggressive version of that carve-out. Bill Gates thinks the math employers are faced with is a problem. In an essay titled The turbulent AI era is here. The choices we make now are critical, the Microsoft co-founder argues there is an asymmetry in the current job market: employers pay payroll taxes when they hire a person, but a robot generally gets written off right away as a business expense.

The tax system nudges you toward replacing people with machines, he wrote. His fix is a tax on AI tokensthe units language models use to chew through text and other dataplus a tax on robots themselves. Gates first floated a robot tax in 2017 and got laughed off by economists who called it a tax on productivity dressed up as a tax on progress. He's not backing down this time. Gates believes that a usage tax changes employer incentives directly, unlike a corporate tax that only bites into profitswhich can run thin in a hypercompetitive market.

The 50-day moving average sits below the 200-day, with a death cross still active. The medium-term structure says bearish, but XRP isn't alone. The crypto market flipped from fear to extreme greed this week for the first time since 2024, and the Ripple-linked XRP rode that wave hard. XRP, the cryptocurrency created by the co-founders of Ripple, erased its most bearish signal last week and took off, registering a 46% gain over seven days and topping a $91 billion market cap.

But, as is usually the case, what goes up must come down. And now XRPs hot streak is cooling, dropping as much as 2% earlier today. XRP isn't the only top-10 coin pulling back today, but among the decliners, XRP's drop is one of the shallowest. XRP is trading at $1.4554 on the daily chart, down from a $1.5505 high, in a recovery that still hasn't escaped a longer-term downtrend. For the better part of April through July, XRP ground lower, bottoming near $1.00 in early August. Since then the move has been verticala roughly 55% rip to $1.55, with the Average Directional Index (an indicator that measures trend strength, regardless of direction) at 44.8 confirming this was no weak bounce but a strong directional leg.

That's a long way from where it sat in 2019 and 2020, when crypto-margined contracts made up close to 100% of the market. For most of the last decade, if you opened a BTC futures position, your margin was almost always denominated in BTC. A crypto-margined position is collateralized in the asset you're trading, so a price drop shrinks your buffer at the exact moment the trade is going against youa feedback loop that can trigger a margin call just as the market is moving fastest.

The score jumped from 36 (fear) a month ago and 41 (neutral) a week ago, to 81 (extreme greed) in its fastest sentiment swing of the year. The gauge's 2026 low was 5, deep in extreme fear on February 5. The cryptocurrency market has entered extreme greed territory for the first time since late 2024, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index. The index, measured on Coinmarketcap, hit 81 late Sunday evening and remains there today, breaking above the green zone that starts at 80the threshold the index reserves for panicked buying and frothy conviction. Its a remarkable turnaround for a market that has spent the last year deep in fear territory, with occasional trips to neutral at best.

The speed of the move is especially noteworthy. A month ago the same gauge sat at 36squarely in fear. A week ago it was 41, barely neutral. It printed 81 on Sunday and holds there today, a 45-point climb in 30 days that erases nearly all of the caution that defined the first half of 2026. This is also the fastest sentiment shift between two extremes, and the only move from extreme fear to extreme greed since Coinmarketcap started tracking the index.
