Bitcoin analyst James Check argued Bitcoin’s quantum risk is chiefly a consensus dilemma — not a tech one — because the network is unlikely to freeze legacy coins. James Check, founder and lead analyst at Bitcoin onchain analysis service Checkonchain, said Monday that the quantum threat is more of a consensus problem than a technology issue. In a Monday X post, Check claimed that “there is no chance we come to consensus to freeze” Bitcoin (BTC) that is not moved to quantum-resistant addresses, with development politics limiting the community’s ability to react. This means that a large amount of lost Bitcoin will flood the market as old addresses are compromised when quantum computer attacks become feasible. BitBo data shows that 32.4% of all Bitcoin has not been moved in the last five years, 16.8% in over 10 years, 8.2% in seven to 10 years and 5.4% in five to seven years. How much of those assets are actually lost or inaccessible, and how many are kept in storage for is subject to debate. Read more -

At the time of writing, HYPE trades at $31, a 23% decline over the past month. Read more -

Blockchain can still serve its purpose while catering to institutional finance needs through privacy technology, says Aztec Labs’ Zac Williamson. Blockchain is being pulled between traditional finance and its decentralized ethos as the industry shifts to serve institutional products. Zac Williamson, CEO of Aztec Labs, said early decentralized governance failures shifted blockchain’s trajectory away from community coordination. “There is a real risk that blockchain just becomes a slightly more efficient settlement layer than Visa or Mastercard,” he told Cointelegraph. “If we lose the social coordination side of this, then the entire point of the technology gets hollowed out.” Read more -

From custody standards to stablecoin oversight, India’s VDA review may help shape an investor-focused framework that brings crypto rules closer to global norms. With more than 100 million crypto users, India still lacks a comprehensive virtual digital asset (VDA) law. Existing rules address taxation and AML obligations, but they do not fully cover consumer protection or broader market conduct. Issues under discussion include the absence of unified investor-protection rules, unregulated trading practices and concerns that India’s 30% tax plus 1% TDS regime is pushing users to offshore platforms. Stakeholders are discussing a risk-based VDA framework, licensing requirements for exchanges and custodians, conduct-of-business standards, RWA-specific regulations and improved data and reporting systems.
