Bitcoin May Avoid Immediate Quantum Upgrade With New Workaround: Study

A new study proposes a "Quantum Safe Bitcoin" (QSB) workaround that could protect new BTC transactions from quantum attacks without requiring a change to the Bitcoin protocol. Developed by StarkWare's Avihu Levy, the method operates within Bitcoin's existing rules, replacing elliptic curve math with a hash-to-signature puzzle that relies on brute-force computation, which is resistant to quantum attacks. This approach is praised by some, like StarkWare's CEO, as a way to make Bitcoin quantum-safe today. However, critics note it doesn't address vulnerabilities in existing exposed public keys or dormant wallets, which hold an estimated 1.7 million BTC. The scheme is also computationally expensive, costing $75-$150 per transaction, making it suitable only for large transfers and not for daily use or scaling solutions like the Lightning Network. While presented as a temporary fix, the researchers acknowledge that long-term protocol-level changes are still the preferred solution. The proposal emerges amid ongoing debate in the Bitcoin community about how to address quantum computing threats, following recent research that has intensified the discussion.

Satlantis Launches Bitcoin Lightning Ticketing Platform

Satlantis has launched a new events and ticketing platform that integrates Bitcoin Lightning Network wallets directly into user accounts and individual event pages. Similar to services like Eventbrite, it allows organizers to create ticket tiers, manage attendees, and accept Bitcoin payments directly without relying on traditional payment processors. Each event receives a unique Bitcoin wallet, enabling direct transactions. The platform also supports fiat payments via Stripe and plans to add stablecoin support, offering a unified dashboard for multiple payment options. The model aims to reduce ticketing fees and improve payment access in regions with limited traditional banking infrastructure. The Lightning Network facilitates fast, low-cost off-chain transactions. This move is part of a broader trend of crypto adoption in event ticketing, following early examples like the Sacramento Kings and Dallas Mavericks accepting Bitcoin. Other initiatives, such as TIX's tokenized tickets and FIFA's NFT-based "right-to-buy" tokens for the 2026 World Cup, highlight growing interest in blockchain-based ticketing solutions.

Lightning Strikes Big: Bitcoin Layer-2 Surpasses $1 Billion In Monthly Activity

Bitcoin's Lightning Network, a layer-2 scaling solution, surpassed $1.1 billion in monthly transaction volume in November, processing over 5 million transactions. This growth is increasingly driven by institutional players like exchanges and trading desks, rather than small-scale hobbyist use. A notable example includes a million-dollar transfer between Secure Digital Markets and Kraken, demonstrating the network's capacity for large, rapid settlements. Network capacity also reached a high of 5,606 BTC in December, improving liquidity for larger transactions. Despite mixed market conditions and Bitcoin's price volatility, Lightning activity continued to grow independently of price action. The network enables fast, low-cost payments by processing transactions off-chain, settling only net balances on the main blockchain. While future growth may be fueled by AI-driven micro-payments, broader adoption still depends on increased exchange support, liquidity, and merchant integration.

Bitcoin Finds A Real-World Use Case In Las Vegas Stores

Small and large stores in Las Vegas are increasingly accepting Bitcoin for everyday transactions to reduce credit card processing fees and attract crypto-savvy customers. Merchants report using Bitcoin payment tools, often via the Lightning Network or conversion services, to lower costs significantly compared to traditional card fees. Services like Square’s no-fee Bitcoin checkout have accelerated adoption. Businesses—from juice bars to chains—are seeing real use, with some experiencing increased foot traffic and new sales. The Lightning Network enables fast, low-cost payments, making in-person crypto transactions practical. While some merchants convert Bitcoin to cash quickly, others hold a portion, noting reduced chargeback risks. Customers, including tourists and locals, are adapting to the convenience of QR-based payments.

Bitcoin Policy Institute reps sound alarm on de minimis tax exclusion

The Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) has raised concerns that proposed U.S. legislation for a de minimis tax exemption on small cryptocurrency transactions may exclude Bitcoin, applying only to stablecoins. BPI’s head of strategy, Conner Brown, called this a "severe mistake," arguing that such an exemption would encourage Bitcoin’s use as a medium of exchange, not just a store of value. The bill, introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis, proposes exemptions for crypto transactions under $300, with a $5,000 annual cap, and includes provisions for charitable donations and deferred taxes on mining and staking rewards. Critics question the need for stablecoin exemptions since their value is stable. High transaction fees, block times, and tax implications currently limit Bitcoin’s use as everyday cash, though the Lightning Network offers a faster, cheaper payment solution.
