Solana Institute-backed super PAC pours $8 million against Sherrod Brown in Ohio race

Sentinel Action Fund said it will spend $8 million with its sister advocacy group to back Republican Senator Jon Husted against Sherrod Brown in the upcoming race.

Sentinel Action Fund has received backing from the Solana Institute and Multicoin Capital, a crypto-focused venture capital firm.

Sentinel Action Fund, a U.S. super PAC (political action committee) backed by the Solana Institute, has pledged $8 million to support Republican Senator Jon Husted in Ohio for the upcoming November midterms.

The super PAC said Wednesday that it plans to pour $8 million alongside its sister advocacy organization Right Vote to back Husted's campaign.

Jon Husted has been a vocal supporter of crypto innovation. Advocacy group  rates him as "strongly supports crypto" based on his past statements, and he has backed key pro-crypto legislation, including the GENIUS Act.

In a , Husted called for a "pro-innovation framework for digital assets," suggesting that digital asset technology represents the "next wave of economic opportunity for working families."

Husted is running against Sherrod Brown, a Democratic Senator who has been a vocal critic of the crypto industry. Notably, Brown has advocated for a crackdown on the use of cryptocurrency to fund terrorism and evade sanctions. Brown lost his Senate seat in the 2024 election.

"[Brown] has stood in the way of pro-innovation policies when it comes to digital assets," Sentinel Action Fund President Jessica Anderson said in the Wednesday statement.

Sentinel has received backing from the Solana Institute and Multicoin Capital, a crypto-focused venture capital firm. The Solana Institute has donated $750,000 to the super PAC so far, while Multicoin has contributed $250,000, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Charles Hoskinson Says 34% of Bitcoin Could Be Stolen by Quantum Computers in 2030s

Charles Hoskinson used a lengthy video address this week to deliver what he described as a long overdue reckoning for Bitcoin maximalists, centred on a quantum computing threat he says is no longer theoretical and a proposed fix he says does not actually work.

As of March 1, 2026, over 34% of all Bitcoin has had its public key exposed on-chain, either through address reuse or legacy pay-to-public-key-hash formats. That represents approximately 8 million Bitcoin that could be stolen by an attacker with a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. Based on current research timelines, Hoskinson places that threat arriving in the 2030s.

“Not hypothetically one magical day in the future when unicorns fart rainbows,” he said. “In the 2030s. Right in front of your face.”

The Proposal That Does Not Solve the Problem

A Bitcoin Improvement Proposal currently circulating, BIP-361, attempts to address the vulnerability by freezing quantum-vulnerable funds and forcing a migration to post-quantum addresses. Hoskinson spent considerable time dissecting why he believes it fails on its own terms.

The proposal claims to be a soft fork. Hoskinson says it is not. It would require a hard fork, something Bitcoin has never done and, by the religion of its maximalist community, never will.

More critically, the proposed zero-knowledge proof recovery system only works for wallets built on the BIP-39 seed phrase standard, which was not introduced until 2013. Approximately 1.7 million Bitcoin, including an estimated 1.1 million belonging to Satoshi Nakamoto, exist in legacy wallet formats that predate this standard. There is no zero-knowledge proof that can recover those coins.

“1.7 million coins cannot be saved even under the steal your coins proposal,” Hoskinson said bluntly.

The Uncomfortable Logic

Hoskinson acknowledged the proposal is not without merit. The developers who wrote i

Gold prices slipped slightly from a one-month peak during Asian trading on Wednesday, with investors closely watching developments between the United States and Iran as a fragile ceasefire deadline approaches next week. The pullback came after a strong rally in the previous session, driven by optimism over potential peace negotiations and encouraging U.S. inflation data.Spot gold declined 0.6% to $4,815.17 per ounce, while gold futures edged down 0.3% to $4,838.40 per ounce as of early morning Eastern Time. Fellow precious metals followed suit, with silver dipping 0.4% to $79.27 per ounce and platinum holding relatively steady at $2,107.21 per ounce.Tuesday's rally was sparked by softer-than-expected U.S. Producer Price Index figures for March, which showed that while headline inflation was pushed higher by rising energy costs, core inflation remained largely contained. The data mirrored a similar trend seen in recent Consumer Price Index readings and put pressure on the U.S. dollar, boosting gold's appeal as an alternative asset. Former Federal Reserve Chair and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen added to the bullish sentiment by suggesting there could be room for at least one interest rate cut later this year. Since gold generates no yield, lower interest rates typically enhance its attractiveness compared to government bonds.Geopolitical tension continued to shape market sentiment. The U.S. military confirmed it had fully enforced a naval blockade against Iran, a move widely interpreted as pressure on Tehran to reach a lasting peace agreement. President Donald Trump expressed confidence that additional ceasefire talks would take place within days and that a resolution to the now seven-week-old conflict was near. Both sides have reportedly remained open to dialogue, and the existing ceasefire appeared to be holding as of Wednesday morning.Traders remain cauti

Dogecoin Above The 1.618 Fib Level Has Triggered ATH Runs, Will It Push It Above $2.8 This Time?
Dogecoin’s price action has a habit of doing the unthinkable just when the crowd has stopped paying attention. The leading meme coin is presently grinding between $0.09 and $0.10, stuck in a tight range that makes it easy to dismiss any bullish outlook. However, one analyst believes the meme coin is still on track to repeat its previous cycles.

The 1.618 Fibonacci Level And Dogecoin’s History Of Breakouts

Technical analysis from crypto analyst Javon Marks has drawn attention to a Fibonacci-based framework that, when mapped across Dogecoin’s entire price history, reveals an interesting, consistent behavior. According to Marks, Dogecoin’s previous bull cycles share a pattern where each major rally extended beyond the 1.618 Fibonacci level before reaching a new all-time high.

This behavior was visible in both the 2017 and 2021 cycles. The 2024 to 2026 cycle, however, has been different, as Dogecoin has yet to extend to the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level projected from the previous bear market low.
Source: Chart from Javon Marks on X

The chart accompanying the analysis highlights these repeating structures. In the 2017 cycle, Dogecoin’s rally topped out slightly above the 1.618 extension. In 2021, the move went even further, breaking as high as the 2.272 Fibonacci extension from the 2019 low and reaching its current all-time high of $0.7316.

Can Dogecoin Push To The 1.618 Fib Level Again?

The premise of this technical outlook is that Dogecoin’s bull cycle is not over until it breaks above the 1.618 Fib extension. If that extension is reached, the projection is a price rally of over 2,600% from current levels to at least $2.80.

“In every alt season, $DOGE has pushed to and above the 1.618 Fibonacci level,” Marks wrote on X, adding that “with another alt season looking to be on the brink of commencing, the likelihood of this happening again is highe

Neo 4 RISC-V VM solution passes full MainNet state validation



A NeoVM-compatible RISC-V virtual machine solution for Neo 4 has passed block-by-block state root verification against the full Neo MainNet dataset, confirming the design has moved beyond the conceptual stage. Neo co-founder and core developer Erik Zhang shared the milestone, describing the result as validation that the approach produces identical state transitions to the existing system.

The achievement follows Zhang’s draft Neo 4 roadmap published in Sept. 2025, which proposed NeoVM 2 as a next-generation virtual machine with RISC-V compatibility, fine-grained gas metering, and improved cost efficiency. At the time, Zhang stated that adoption of RISC-V would allow Neo to onboard existing developer infrastructure, improve efficiency, and enhance support for zero-knowledge proofs.

Architecture and validation

The implementation integrates PolkaVM, a RISC-V-based virtual machine originally developed by Parity Technologies for the Polkadot ecosystem, into Neo’s execution environment. An architecture diagram shared by Neo core developer Jimmy Liao illustrates the layered design: the Neo Core C# node interfaces with a PolkaVM Host Runtime written in Rust through a Foreign Function Interface bridge, with a RISC-V sandbox layer supporting both legacy NeoVM bytecode and native RISC-V contracts.

The NeoVM-compatible RISC-V VM solution has been completed. State root-level verification passed for every block on the mainnet data. Still an exploratory work. pic.twitter.com/GY2RKjU9U1

State root verification works by comparing the cryptographic hash representing the blockchain’s entire state at each block height. By running the new VM implementation against every MainNet block and confirming matching state roots throughout, the team demonstrated functional equivalence between
