Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Founding partner at Castle Island Ventures Nic Carter has laid out what he sees as three plausible paths for Bitcoin as the industry moves toward post-quantum cryptography: freeze vulnerable early coins, leave them untouched and accept the consequences, or pursue a legal “salvage” process that avoids a protocol-level confiscation.The debate matters because, in Carter’s framing, roughly 1.7 million BTC in old pay-to-pubkey outputs could become exposed if Bitcoin eventually deprecates elliptic curve signatures and a cryptographically relevant quantum computer arrives. The Third Option In Bitcoin’s Satoshi Coin BattleIn a post on X, Carter argued that the Overton window around quantum risk has shifted quickly. What was recently treated as a fringe concern, he wrote, is now increasingly being discussed as an eventual engineering and governance problem for Bitcoin itself. “The thing about the PQ transition is, it’s impossible as a Bitcoiner to claim that this protocol is cutting edge technology if Bitcoin, a monetary system predicated entirely on cryptography, is a laggard,” he wrote, adding that betting the fate of the network on the hope that the technology does not advance would be both reckless and embarrassing.Related Reading: Cardano Founder Says Bitcoin Has Entered ‘Shitcoin Land’From there, Carter sketched the upgrade path he expects. After a soft fork, Bitcoin would likely move through an intermediate phase in which users could sign with existing ECC-based schemes or with new post-quantum signatures. Eventually, he wrote, legacy signatures such as ECDSA and Schnorr would be disallowed entirely. That transition, in his telling, is the easy part. The harder question comes later: what to do with coins that never migrate.He framed that dispute as a clash bet

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Following the broader market recovery, sentiment appears to be shifting in the XRP market as signs of renewed bullish momentum start to take hold. A growing bullish momentum implies that buyers are gradually stepping back in. However, a key metric suggests a lingering underlying weakness beneath the surface.The Real State Of The XRP MarketAfter a period of uncertainty and subdued price action, XRP is gaining bullish traction, drawing closer to reclaiming the $1.50 mark. Even with the newfound strength of the altcoin, certain indicators show the broader market trend still appears to be weak and bearish, creating a layer of uncertainty. Related Reading: Massive XRP Adoption Trend Paints The Most Bullish Picture YetWhile it may seem bullish, Teddy, a crypto expert, has drawn attention to the XRP Sharpe Ratio, which is offering a sobering view of the XRP market. The key metric is trending in negative territory, indicating that conditions remain in a post-pain phase. What this means is investors are still recovering from earlier drawdowns despite a period of market stabilization.According to Teddy, the Sharpe Ratio is a crucial indicator that measures beyond price action. It also shows whether the market is delivering enough return for the volatility behind the move, making it important for a phase filter, not as a trigger. When the ratio travels deep into positive territory, the move is typically considered mature, and the reward is already getting stretched. Source: Chart from Teddy on XHowever, those are often late-trend or overheated phases. In the opposite scenario, where the metric falls deep into negative territory, the market is moving through pain, and this is not an efficient trend. This is due to the fact that reset phases and better long-term entry co

Crypto founder Joe McCann’s passport is sitting with Zanzibar police. He isn’t going anywhere until they get answers.

Authorities Hold McCann Pending Autopsy
Tanzanian police are questioning McCann, founder of the crypto hedge fund Asymmetric, after his fiancée, Ashly Robinson, 31, died on April 9 at a hospital in Zanzibar. Robinson had been rushed there after hotel staff found her unresponsive in her room the day before.

Based on reports from NBC News and CBS News, police have ruled her death a suicide — but they are holding McCann’s passport while they await the results of a formal autopsy.

The couple had been staying at the same hotel when a dispute arose between them. Officials said the two were separated and moved to different rooms following what police described as a “misunderstanding.” Staff later found Robinson in her room with a belt around her neck.

McCann has not commented publicly. He could not be reached for comment.

Family Pushes Back On Suicide Ruling
Robinson’s relatives are not satisfied with the official account. Her sister, Alyssa Endres, told NBC News that “none of this makes sense.”

According to the family, Robinson had recently celebrated her 31st birthday and her engagement to McCann — both of which had happened just days before her death. Endres described her sister as happy at the time.


 Robinson, who went by the name Ashlee Jenae on social media, posted her last photo April 5, showing her feeding a giraffe while she celebrated her birthday.
The family’s challenge to the police ruling adds another layer of uncertainty to a case that is already far from closed. Authorities have not said when the autopsy results are expected or whether additional charges could follow.

The integration bridges the gap between two of the cryptocurrency industry's most prominent ecosystems.

According to an announcement from the official Solana X account on April 17, 2026, the highly anticipated integration is now fully live, injecting fresh cross-chain liquidity into the network's decentralized finance (DeFi) space.

The asset has been launched as a wrapped token, designated as wXRP.

The Solana Foundation partnered with LayerZero and Hex Trust, two major infrastructure providers, in order to be able to facilitate this massive cross-chain move.

Summary Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has accused crypto exchange Zondacrypto of using “Russian funds linked to organized crime” and “Russian security services” to finance opposition politicians and block a MiCA‑style crypto bill. Tusk told parliament that some lawmakers fighting his government’s crypto‑asset legislation were “serving the interests” of Zondacrypto, which he said sponsored a CPAC event in Poland where former U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem endorsed nationalist Karol Nawrocki’s presidential bid. President Nawrocki, elected in June 2025 with backing from former U.S. President Donald Trump, has twice vetoed MiCA‑aligned regulation, leaving Polish exchanges in legal limbo and deepening a national‑security‑tinged standoff over how to police digital assets. Speaking in the Sejm on Friday ahead of a vote on overturning his rival’s veto, Tusk claimed that “Russian money was behind the Zondacrypto cryptocurrency platform,” which he alleged has “supported political and social initiatives” aligned with right‑wing groups in Poland. He told lawmakers that the firm’s backing was tied “not only to Russian capital” but also to “groups connected to the so‑called bratva, a term for Russian mafia organizations, as well as Russian security services.” Tusk links Zondacrypto to Russian ‘Bratva’ and intelligence According to Tusk, internal security agency findings show that Zondacrypto “sponsors political and social gatherings in Poland and champions very particular political factions,” including politicians from the former ruling Law and Justice party and the far‑right Confederation. He highlighted the exchange’s role as a “significant sponsor” of a Conservative Political Action Conference event in Rzeszów in March 2025, where Kristi Noem publicly backed Karol Nawrocki’s presidential campaign. Tusk framed the latest vote as a security

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure After a brief bounce at the beginning of the week, Bitcoin and Ethereum are back to price levels not seen in weeks, reinforcing the momentum of the upward move. Amid this rebound, both leading crypto assets are displaying consistent growth underneath the surface. Rising Leverage Collide Bitcoin And Ethereum ReboundBitcoin and Ethereum's prices just shifted into a bullish state and are demonstrating more upside potential in the short term. The recent bounce in both assets is running into a new layer of complexity, as clearly observed in their Open Interest (OI) on cryptocurrency exchanges. Related Reading: Bitcoin, Ethereum Surge As $430M Short Squeeze Fuels RallySantiment, a popular market intelligence and data analytics platform, shared this trend on the X platform, capturing investors' attention across the market. At the time of the report, Bitcoin's price was already trading at $76,070 while ETH was trading at $2,395, marking their highest market values since the beginning of February. This bounce is accompanied by a greater sense of optimism, with the rapid creation of margin and leveraged positions, indicated in their ongoing rising open interest. Even while the price recovery signals renewed optimism, the simultaneous increase in leveraged positions indicates more speculative activity behind the move.

However, they are also known for unwinding just as fast in the event that sentiment begins to shift. According to the report from Santiment,

That lens now cuts both ways. When oil climbs, freight and energy input costs rise, and inflation expectations stiffen, the case for faster, cheaper movement of money gains urgency.

The same macro shock also boosts the dollar, tightens financial conditions, and usually pushes risk assets into a tougher zone. XRP now sits at the intersection of those two forces.

The tension is direct because it touches household budgets, portfolio drawdowns, and the cost of moving capital across borders.
