Trading was halted for about 10 hours before being restored on Friday, sparking a public backlash from derivatives and commodities traders.

As Tharimmune raises $540 million to build a Canton Coin treasury, the story behind the Canton Network shows that ICOs are not the only way to launch new blockchains. The blockchain ecosystem is home to several highly successful smart contract protocols, which makes the arrival of newcomers highly competitive. Canton Network is one of the newest ‘next generation layer one’ to vie for users and capital from incumbents like Ethereum and Solana. Alongside SUI and Aptos, Canton’s rise challenges the assumption that we have too many blockchains. Rooz said that the developers had taken a lot of learnings from the launches of other layer-1 protocols as well as the teething problems of established players like Ethereum.  Read more

Bitcoin trades near $91K, trapped between $84K support and $112K resistance, as traders watch for the next major price move.

Quantum security is moving from theory to practice as layer-1 blockchains prepare long-term plans to adopt post-quantum cryptography. Quantum computers still look like lab toys: Racks of hardware, error-prone qubits and almost no real-world applications. Yet if you check the roadmaps of major layer-1 blockchains, a new priority now sits next to scaling and modularity: post-quantum security. The concern is simple even if the math isn’t. Most major blockchains rely on elliptic-curve signatures (ECDSA and Ed25519) to prove that a transaction came from the owner of a private key. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm could, in theory, recover those private keys from their public counterparts and let an attacker sign fake transactions. Read more
