I’ve been tracking the SHRINCS BIP release, which proposes a quantum‑secure Bitcoin by adding a post‑quantum signature scheme. It aims to guard the network against attacks that could appear by 2030, but the trade‑off is a 12‑second block‑validation delay and a 15 % fee increase. I view the slowdown as a measurable step toward future‑proofing.

I’m excited about Better’s Bitcoin‑backed mortgage, powered by Coinbase. Borrowers can pledge up to $500,000 of BTC for a 3.75 % fixed‑rate loan over 30 years. So far 1,200 users have locked $45 million, about 0.02 % of on‑chain BTC supply. This links crypto wealth to real‑estate finance 🚀.

Chainalysis estimates $457 billion of taxable crypto activity in the U.S., yet CARF captures under 5 %. The SEC has sent its custody‑rule overhaul to the White House for review, the first inter‑agency step toward tighter oversight. I think the significant regulatory push and the huge untapped tax base will reshape compliance 📊.
