Bitcoin Devs Propose Sunset For Quantum-Vulnerable Addresses

Bitcoin Devs Propose Sunset For Quantum-Vulnerable Addresses
Bitcoin developers are sounding the alarm about quantum computing's potential to crack vulnerable crypto addresses—and they’re not waiting around to find out. A new proposal led by Casa’s Jameson Lopp lays out a plan to phase out older Bitcoin addresses that could be exposed by quantum tech, pushing the network toward quantum-resistant upgrades. Think of it as a forced upgrade for your digital wallet’s lock, before futuristic lock-picks become a reality.
Editor’s Note: Quantum computers could one day break the encryption guarding some Bitcoin wallets, and this proposal is the first serious attempt to future-proof the system. While it’s still early (this is just a draft), it signals that the crypto world is taking quantum threats seriously—even if they’re still hypothetical. For everyday holders, it’s a heads-up: the way you store your Bitcoin might need to evolve sooner than you think.

Crypto Week In Jeopardy: Legislative Hurdles Threaten Progress On Regulation Bills
NegativeCryptocurrency
Three major cryptocurrency regulation bills hit a snag this week as a group of conservative House Republicans banded together to block progress, throwing negotiations into chaos. The sticking point? Some GOP members balked at recent tweaks meant to win over skeptics, leaving the whole process in limbo.
Editor’s Note: If you’ve been waiting for clearer rules on crypto, don’t hold your breath. This gridlock means more uncertainty for an industry that’s been begging for regulatory clarity—and could stall innovation or investor confidence until lawmakers find common ground. For now, it’s back to the drawing board.

Top Crypto Analyst Confirms Altcoin Season: ‘It Starts Now’

Top Crypto Analyst Confirms Altcoin Season: ‘It Starts Now’
PositiveCryptocurrency
A big-name crypto analyst, Josh Olszewicz, just dropped a bombshell for traders: altcoin season—the period when smaller cryptocurrencies surge—is finally here. In his latest market analysis, he shut down any skepticism, pointing to clear signals that altcoins are primed for major gains. Basically, if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to dive into these riskier bets, Olszewicz says the time is now.
Editor’s Note: For crypto enthusiasts, altcoin seasons are like the gold rush—chaotic, potentially lucrative, and full of hype. This declaration matters because it could trigger a wave of trading activity, driving prices up (or down, if the hype fizzles). Whether you’re a seasoned trader or just crypto-curious, it’s a heads-up to pay attention—or at least buckle up for the volatility.

Bitcoin ’wrench attacks’ on track to double its worst year

Bitcoin ’wrench attacks’ on track to double its worst year
NegativeCryptocurrency
Bitcoin investors are facing a sharp rise in violent robberies, known as "wrench attacks," where thieves physically target holders to steal their crypto. With 35 reported cases in just seven months, 2025 is on pace to double the worst previous year for such crimes.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about digital theft—real-world violence is becoming a growing risk for crypto owners. As Bitcoin’s value stays high, criminals are resorting to old-school coercion (like literal wrenches) to force victims into handing over their holdings. It’s a grim reminder that security isn’t just about strong passwords—it’s about personal safety too.

60% of PUMP presale participants sold or transferred to CEXs

60% of PUMP presale participants sold or transferred to CEXs
NeutralCryptocurrency
Despite concerns that early investors would dump their holdings, the PUMP token has shown surprising resilience. BitMEX reports that while 60% of presale participants did sell or move their tokens to exchanges, the token's funding rates have stayed positive—a sign that market sentiment isn't as bearish as expected.
Editor’s Note: Normally, when a big chunk of presale investors cash out early, it spells trouble for a new token. But PUMP seems to be holding its own, hinting that there might still be enough demand to keep it afloat—or even push it higher. For crypto watchers, this is a test of whether retail interest can outweigh early profit-taking.

Nordic Exchange Safello Partners With Marginalen Bank to Enhance Banking Services for Crypto Customers
PositiveCryptocurrency
Swedish crypto exchange Safello is teaming up with Marginalen Bank to make banking smoother for crypto users. Think easier deposits, withdrawals, and maybe even better integration with everyday financial tools—like Sweden’s popular Swish payment system. It’s a step toward closing the gap between traditional banking and crypto.
Editor’s Note: Crypto’s still a headache for banks, but partnerships like this show the industry’s maturing. For everyday users, it could mean fewer hoops to jump through when moving money in and out of crypto—a big deal in a region where digital payments are already king. If banks keep playing nice, crypto might finally feel less like the wild west.
