The quantum computing threat has some of Bitcoin's most vocal developers landing in wildly different places.

Blockstream's CEO, Adam Back, told Paris Blockchain Week attendees on Wednesday that Bitcoin developers should start building optional quantum-resistant upgrades now, even though current quantum computers remain "essentially lab experiments" with progress that has been "incremental" over the 25 years he has tracked the field.

"Preparation is key. Making changes in a controlled way is far safer than reacting in a crisis," the Blockstream CEO said.

A crypto analyst has highlighted a long-term technical structure in XRP that may be approaching a critical turning point after nearly nine years of consolidation.
According to analyst Ali Martinez, XRP appears to be trading within a long-standing ascending triangle pattern on the monthly chart — a structure that has been forming since 2017.
An ascending triangle is typically defined by a flat resistance level and a rising support trendline. Price tends to oscillate between these two boundaries until a decisive breakout occurs, often leading to a strong directional move.
Martinez noted that XRP has repeatedly been rejected from the upper resistance zone over the years, while continuing to find support along its rising trendline. Most recently, in August 2025, XRP once again failed to break above resistance and has since been gradually moving lower within the pattern.
Based on this structure, the analyst suggests that XRP could revisit the key support region around $0.75–$0.80, which may represent a significant long-term accumulation zone if the pattern continues to hold.
As the triangle approaches its apex, historical TA theory suggests that volatility increases and a breakout becomes more likely. Ascending triangles are generally considered bullish continuation patterns, meaning an upside breakout could be the higher-probability outcome.
“If a 9-year consolidation finally breaks, the move is usually historic,” the analyst noted, adding that XRP’s next major cycle could be substantial if the pattern resolves to the upside.

OpenAI circulated an internal memo this week directly attacking rival Anthropic, accusing it of inflating its $30 billion revenue figure by roughly $8 billion as Claude’s grip on enterprise AI becomes increasingly hard for the company to dismiss. Summary OpenAI chief revenue officer Denise Dresser sent a four-page memo to employees accusing Anthropic of overstating its run rate through gross accounting on cloud deals with Google and Amazon. The memo describes Anthropic’s strategy as built on “fear, restriction, and the idea that a small group of elites should control AI,” and labels its compute position a strategic misstep. Anthropic’s annualized revenue has surpassed $30 billion by its own figures, up from $9 billion at end-2025, as Claude was described as having “become a religion” among enterprise users at a major AI conference. OpenAI’s chief revenue officer Denise Dresser sent a four-page internal memo to employees this past Sunday attacking rival Anthropic, accusing it of inflating its widely reported $30 billion run-rate figure by roughly $8 billion. The memo, reported by CNBC and The Verge, alleges that Anthropic “grosses up” revenue sharing from its cloud partnerships with Amazon and Google rather than reporting net figures, which OpenAI does with its Microsoft arrangement. The accusation puts the real Anthropic figure closer to $22 billion, which would place it behind OpenAI’s reported $24 billion run rate. Both companies are preparing for potential IPOs and are competing aggressively for enterprise contracts and investor positioning. What the Memo Says Dresser goes well beyond accounting in the note. She describes Anthropic’s strategy as built on “fear, restriction, and the idea that a small group of elites should control AI,” contrasting it with what she frames as OpenAI’s more “positive message.” She also calls Anthropic’s compute strategy a “st

Ethereum DEX aggregator market grows more competitive as Kyber, CowSwap rise

Kyber currently leads with ~30% market share, followed by CowSwap at 22%, while 1inch has seen its share decline over the same period.

The following is excerpted from The Block's Data and Insights newsletter.

The Ethereum DEX aggregator market landscape has shifted over the past year, moving away from the near-dominance of a single protocol toward a more distributed competitive field.

Kyber currently leads with approximately 31% market share, followed by CowSwap at 22%, while 1inch has seen its share decline from roughly 30% to 15% over the same period. This diversification stands in contrast to broader trends in crypto, where many sectors have seen consolidation.

The all-time view shows 1inch commanding the majority of aggregator volume through 2021-2022, a period that coincided with aggressive liquidity mining campaigns across DeFi. The subsequent erosion of its share as incentives wound down raises a structural question of how much of any aggregator's volume reflects genuine user preference versus incentive-driven activity.

Bitcoin traders may have reason to rejoice – Even if BTC reserves fall to 2.683 mln
Bitcoin [$BTC] exchange reserves have dropped massively, and Spot retail activity is close to recent lows. Regardless of it all, $BTC traders may have reason to believe.

Here’s why.

$BTC exchange reserves fall, retail demand weak

Bitcoin’s split.

On one hand, exchange reserves across all exchanges have been in freefall, down to 2.683 million $BTC at the latest reading. That’s one of the lowest reserve levels seen in recent months, down from close to 3 million $BTC in late April-May 2025.

There are fewer coins on exchanges, so no one’s in a rush to sell.

At the same time, price has recovered from the early February dip. Supply is getting tighter.

But here’s where things get interesting. Spot retail activity, seen through the trading frequency surge, is the weakest it’s been in the last year. After peaking when Bitcoin traded at the ATH range, retail participation fell and hasn’t shown any muscle since.

Bull score rebounds to 40!

Put all that against Bitcoin’s Bull Score Index. The latest reading showed nearly 40, which is the highest number since October 2025.

That’s a big improvement from the weaker numbers of earlier this year, when the score briefly went toward the lower end of the scale.

The recovery isn’t over. Readings above 60 have so far come with bullish phases, particularly during $BTC’s rallies toward the $90K-$120K range in 2024 and 2025.

There’s a clear contrast with the falling exchange reserves above. While supply conditions improve, the pace is yet to fully return. So, $BTC may be moving out of its weaker phase, even if we can only see a transition rather than a full-blown breakout.

Bull Score needs to reclaim the 60+ levels in the sessions ahead for $BTC to properly rise.

Final Summary

Bitcoin exchange reserves have dropped to 2.683 million $BTC.

Despite weak retail activi

Bitcoin Developers Propose Bitcoin Quantum Migration Plan That Would Freeze Legacy Coins

BIP-361 proposes migrating Bitcoin away from legacy cryptographic signatures to quantum-resistant alternatives through a phased deadline that could eventually make unmigrated coins permanently unspendable.

A new proposal circulating among Bitcoin developers is forcing the network to confront a long-standing theoretical risk: the impact of quantum computing on its cryptographic foundations.

Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 361 (BIP-361), introduced by a group of researchers including Jameson Lopp, outlines a structured plan to migrate the network away from legacy signature schemes and toward quantum-resistant alternatives. If adopted, the proposal would impose a phased deadline that could ultimately render unmigrated coins permanently unspendable.

The proposal aims to reduce Bitcoin’s exposure to a future scenario in which sufficiently advanced quantum computers can break the elliptic curve cryptography that underpins its current system.

“Even if Bitcoin is not a primary initial target of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, widespread knowledge that such a computer exists and is capable of breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography will damage faith in the network,” the BIP authors wrote.

Today, Bitcoin relies on ECDSA and Schnorr signatures to secure transactions. Both remain robust against classical computing but are theoretically vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm, which could allow an attacker to derive private keys from exposed public keys. This risk is not evenly distributed across the network. Older address types, particularly pay-to-public-key outputs and reused addresses, reveal public keys onchain and are considered the most vulnerable.

The United States came remarkably close to becoming a net crude oil exporter last week for the first time since World War Two, as American shipments surged to meet surging international demand. The dramatic shift was triggered by disruptions to Middle Eastern oil flows following the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran, which effectively halted roughly 20% of global oil and gas transit through the critical Strait of Hormuz.With Iranian threats cutting off a significant portion of worldwide energy supplies, refiners across Asia and Europe scrambled to secure alternative sources, turning heavily to the U.S. — the world's largest oil producer. As a result, net U.S. crude imports narrowed to just 66,000 barrels per day (bpd), the lowest recorded level since weekly tracking began in 2001, while exports climbed to 5.2 million bpd, a seven-month high.European buyers absorbed approximately 47% of U.S. crude exports, with top destinations including the Netherlands, France, and Germany. Asia accounted for around 37%, up from 30% just a year ago, with Japan and South Korea among the leading importers. Countries like Greece and Turkey are receiving American crude for the first time in years, reflecting how dramatically global trade flows have shifted.Soaring Brent crude prices — which briefly hit nearly $150 per barrel — made U.S. oil significantly more attractive to overseas refiners. The Brent-WTI spread widened to over $20 per barrel, further incentivizing American exports while reducing domestic appetite for costlier imports.Despite this historic momentum, analysts warn the U.S. is fast approaching its export ceiling of roughly 6 million bpd, constrained by pipeline infrastructure and tanker availability. With freight costs rising and logistical pressures mounting, sustaining this export surge will require strategic coordination, including potential releases from the Stra
