Future quantum computers are acting as a threat to the current blockchain technology, which relies heavily on cryptography such as elliptic-curve signatures. Hence, to protect itself from this threat, Tezos has launched Quantumnet, an experimental test network. However, it is not the final post-quantum version of Tezos or ready for production use. Instead, it is a testing ground where the developers can identify problems, measure performance, and refine the technology before potentially proposing it as a future protocol amendment. Tezos plays the test match In an email to AMBCrypto, Zaynah Dargaye, Core Layer 1 Engineering Manager at Nomadic Labs, said, Quantumnet gives…

TL;DR Bitcoin fell below $85,000 after stronger U.S. business data pushed Treasury yields higher. S&P Global’s flash U.S. Composite PMI rose to 58.4 in September, the strongest reading since July 2021. The move shows how quickly Bitcoin’s recent rebound can be challenged when markets price in tighter monetary policy. Bitcoin’s rebound has run into a familiar obstacle: rising interest rates. BTC fell back below $85,000 as U.S. Treasury yields climbed, with the 10-year yield moving above 5% after stronger-than-expected economic data renewed concerns that monetary policy may have to stay tight. Stronger Growth Is Not Automatically Good News For Bitcoin…

Ethereum and Monero sit on very different sides of the cryptocurrency market. Ethereum (ETH) underpins a large ecosystem of decentralized applications, stablecoins, DeFi protocols, and tokenized assets, while Monero (XMR) is designed around private digital payments and reduced on-chain transaction visibility. For Ethereum holders who want to move from ETH to XMR, a direct crypto-to-crypto swap provides an alternative to first selling ETH for fiat or converting it through an intermediary asset. SwapToZec.com supports Ethereum-to-Monero conversions, allowing users to swap ETH for XMR and receive the resulting Monero in an external wallet. Despite its name, SwapToZec.com is not limited to…

Litecoin [LTC] was one of the top-20 crypto assets by market capitalization to record a sizeable price gain in the last 24 hours. While many altcoins, including LTC, saw double-digit returns over the past week, most were affected by Bitcoin’s [BTC] pullback from $87.3K to $82.9K by Thursday, 24th September. At the time of writing, LTC bulls had noted gains of 6.04% in just 24 hours. On the weekly charts too, the altcoin was up by 29.2%, with the altcoin having breached its significant resistance at $60.

U.S Spot Bitcoin ETFs have been on a winning streak for the past five days, effectively hauling in $2.65B in net inflows.  The strong demand has flipped the ETF positive on a year-to-date (YTD) basis and lifted BTC’s price to an eight-month high of $87K. However, the bullish momentum is still facing renewed bond market pressure and a potential Fed rate hike in October.  Can Bitcoin ETF demand survive macro pressure? This week’s massive Spot BTC ETF demand turned YTD flows positive with $349M, according to Galaxy Research data. On Monday alone, the ETF complex attracted $1B in daily inflows.…

TL;DR Chainalysis says measured global crypto economic activity declined just 1.6% during the 12 months ended June 30, 2026. That happened while the wider crypto market lost roughly $2.1 trillion in capitalization. Domestic peer-to-peer and cross-border stablecoin activity both grew sharply during the period. Crypto prices took a beating over the past year, but the underlying economy did not shrink anything like as quickly. That is the central finding from Chainalysis’ 2026 Global Crypto Adoption Index, which measures activity across the 12 months ended June 30. The analytics firm estimates total crypto economic activity fell only 1.6%, from roughly $9.5…

AxLabs has released its Simple Agent Wallet, a command-line wallet designed for AI agents to autonomously pay for resources across multiple blockchains using the x402 payment protocol, with Neo X as a supported settlement chain. The open-source tool, now at v0.3.1, enables agents to inspect and execute payments without human intervention. Traditional crypto wallets assume a human is present, with browser extensions that open popups and mobile apps that require a tap to confirm. For AI agents operating programmatically, these interaction models create friction that effectively blocks autonomous commerce. SAW addresses this by providing a wallet built entirely around CLI…

Big money is on the move again, and this whale just made some hefty bets. Here’s the rundown. New crypto wallet puts $7.4 million into Uniswap A brand-new wallet, starting with 0xC37, didn’t waste any time. Within an hour of being created, it had built up a position worth about $10.13 million across three tokens! Uniswap [UNI] is the obvious favorite for this trader. They picked up 814,000 UNI worth roughly $7.44 million. That’s about $9.14 per token. UNI accounted for nearly three-quarters of the transferred value.

Asset manager Ark Invest is pessimistic about Hyperliquid’s ability to achieve its “house of all finance” vision, despite the platform’s growing traction.  In particular, the firm questioned how the platform wants U.S. market access yet has limited decentralization, a partially anonymous team, and nearly non-existent spot trading.  In an X post, Lorenzo Valente, head of crypto research at Ark Invest, poked holes in the regulated US pathway via Kraken.  I think what HYPE is doing with Kraken in the US is slightly different. The liquidity can’t simply be commingled with the broader permissionless Hyperliquid market. That probably means a way…
