Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

According to Ripple’s blog, the plan begins with preparing contingency plans in the event Q-day (Quantum-Day) arrives earlier than expected. In such a scenario, Ripple intends to execute a “hard shift.” This would disable account access via public keys while enabling funds migration to post-quantum-secure accounts.

The second phase, scheduled for the first half of 2026, involves testing NIST-recommended quantum-secure cryptography standards in partnership with Project Eleven. 

This evaluation will provide insight into the effects of post-quantum implementations

North Korea’s crypto heist playbook is expanding and DeFi keeps getting hit


Less than three weeks after North Korea-linked hackers used social engineering to hit crypto trading firm Drift, hackers tied to the nation appear to have pulled off another major exploit with Kelp.

The attack on Kelp, a restaking protocol tied into LayerZero’s cross-chain infrastructure, suggests an evolution in how North Korea-linked hackers operate, not just looking for bugs or stolen credentials, but exploiting the basic assumptions built into decentralized systems.

Taken together, the two incidents point to something more organized than a string of one-off hacks, as North Korea continues to escalate its efforts to hijack funds from the crypto sector.

“This is not a series of incidents; it is a cadence,” said Alexander Urbelis, chief information security officer and general counsel at ENS Labs. “You cannot patch your way out of a procurement schedule.”

More than $500 million was siphoned across the Drift and Kelp exploits in just over two weeks.

How Kelp was breached

At its core, the Kelp exploit did not involve breaking encryption or cracking keys. The system actually worked the way it was designed to. Rather, attackers manipulated the data feeding into the system and forced it to rely on those compromised inputs, causing it to approve transactions that never actually occurred.

“The security failure is simple: a signed lie is still a lie,” Urbelis said. “Signatures guarantee authorship; they do not guarantee truth.”

In simpler terms, the system checked who sent the message, not whether the message itself was correct. For security experts, that makes this less about a clever new hack and more about exploiting how the system was set up.

“This attack wasn’t about breaking cryptography,” said David Schwed, COO of blockchain security firm SVRN. “It was about exploiti

Apple has announced a major leadership transition, naming hardware chief John Ternus as its next Chief Executive Officer. The change will take effect on September 1, 2026, with current CEO Tim Cook moving into the role of executive chairman.
Cook, who has led Apple since 2011 following the era of co-founder Steve Jobs, will continue as CEO through the summer before formally transitioning. Under his leadership, Apple expanded aggressively into services, strengthened its hardware ecosystem, and saw its market value rise to over $4 trillion, making it one of the most valuable companies in the world.
Ternus, currently Apple’s senior vice president of hardware engineering, has spent roughly 25 years at the company. He has played a key role in developing flagship products including the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, and Apple’s custom silicon transition across Macs.
In its announcement, Apple described Ternus as a leader with strong engineering instincts and a deep understanding of product innovation. Cook referred to him as a “visionary,” while Ternus credited Cook as a long-time mentor and expressed confidence in Apple’s future direction.
The leadership change comes at a critical time for Apple, as the company faces increasing pressure in artificial intelligence, slower iPhone growth, and growing competition in next-generation devices. Analysts suggest the appointment of a hardware-focused executive signals a renewed emphasis on product engineering and device innovation as Apple searches for its next major growth driver.
Cook will remain involved during the transition period and continue contributing in a strategic capacity as executive chairman, ensuring continuity at the highest level of the company.
Overall, the move marks one of Apple’s most significant leadership shifts in over a decade, positioning the company for its next phase in the AI-driven and hardware-intensive tech landscape.

ardano Founder Says XRP Holders Don’t Benefit from Ripple’s Asset Growth
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, has stirred a new debate around XRP, criticizing its structure and value model in a recent podcast.


Hoskinson argued that there is “nothing” within the Ripple network that naturally creates buy demand for XRP. According to him, the token does not have built-in mechanisms, such as staking rewards or ownership rights, that would directly drive long-term price appreciation.

He stressed that XRP holders do not gain any legal claim over Ripple’s business, assets, or revenue, describing the company as a private entity with its own shareholders.

Key Points

Cardano’s Hoskinson says XRP has no built-in demand drivers or holder benefits.

He argues Ripple controls most XRP supply and benefits from its sales strategy.

KelpDAO hackers are laundering millions in stolen crypto, data show

The hackers that stole $290 million in the KelpDAO exploit are beginning to launder their ill-gotten gains, according to onchain sleuth ZachXBT and data from Arkham.

Arkham shows that the wallet in control of the proceeds of the exploit sent two transfers of $117 million and $58 million on the Ethereum blockchain during European hours on Tuesday.

ZachXBT reported that a portion of the stolen funds has already begun moving across chains. Roughly $1.5 million was bridged from Ethereum to Bitcoin via Thorchain, alongside an additional $78,000 routed through the privacy protocol Umbra. North Korean hackers Lazarus Group have previously used protocols like Thorchain to launder funds.

Cross-chain routing and privacy tools are commonly used in the early ‘layering’ stage of laundering, suggesting the attacker may be preparing to further disperse the funds across multiple venues.

The KelpDAO exploit is one of the largest decentralized finance breaches in recent months, spurring a wave of negative sentiment across the DeFi sector and fears over contagion will spread to other blockchains.

Layer 2 network Arbitrum said Monday it had frozen $71 million in ether linked to the hack, a move that could pressure the exploiter to accelerate efforts to move and launder the remaining funds.

The gold price forecast has shifted sharply. Gold has shed around 8% since the Middle East conflict began on February 28, and Morgan Stanley now puts its second-half 2026 gold price forecast at $5,200 per ounce — down from a prior bull case of $5,700. The Morgan Stanley gold forecast revision reflects a market where rising yields gold outlook concerns dominate and fed rate cuts gold price expectations have moved to September and December at the earliest. This gold target reduction leaves the revised target roughly 8% above the current price of around $4,825, and well below where the metal was just weeks ago.Gold (CFDs, US$/oz) daily chart.

Gold has a strong historical record in demand-shock environments — recessions, financial crises, and geopolitical flare-ups where equities fall, central banks ease, and real yields drop. The Middle East crisis followed a different playbook entirely. It created a supply shock that sent oil higher, pushed inflation expectations up, lifted real yields, and stripped away the macro conditions that had driven gold’s generational run through 2025.Morgan Stanley analysts stated:“In previous demand driven shocks, gold typically benefited from falling 2-year yields, as markets moved to price weaker growth and earlier Fed easing. The opposite has been true this time. This was also seen in 2022 … gold posted limited gains as the US entered a rate hiking cycle. The macro backdrop is different in 2026, but the sensitivity to rates remains.”Three forces compounded the gold target reducti
