Ripple wants the XRP Ledger to be quantum-proof by 2028. Here is its plan

While quantum computing remains a largely theoretical threat to blockchain for now, some projects are already preparing for that eventuality.

Fintech company Ripple has released a detailed four-phase roadmap to make the $XRP Ledger, a decentralized, layer-1 blockchain, quantum-resistant, aiming to reach full readiness by 2028. $XRP, the world's fourth-largest digital asset by market capitalization, is the native token of the $XRP Ledger.

Early ASTEROID Buyers Made a Fortune—But This Unlucky Buyer Sold Few Days Before Its Pump at a $137 Loss
An early ASTEROID whale missed out on what should have been a financially life-changing event, paper handling his holdings before the recent rally.


Market intelligence platform Lookonchain called the investor “the unluckiest guy” they have ever seen, a description well suited to this case. Had the wallet held its ASTEROID token for a few more days, it would have turned its meager input into massive wealth, but he sold right at the time of a major breakthrough.

Key Points

81 days ago, an address spent 0.2 Ethereum ($542) to buy 7.43 billion Asteroid Shiba.

On April 14, the address sold the entire ASTEROID holding for $405, realizing a $137 loss.

A few days later, the meme coin started moving, surging a staggering 530,450% in the past seven days.

The 7.43 billion ASTEROID stash would have been worth $2.2 million in today’s price, but the wallet paper-handed the token.

The token’s pump was not random but came from an indirect mention by Elon Musk, the richest man in the world.

Trading activity accelerates

Volume trends reinforce the same narrative. Trading activity across leading prediction markets has expanded sharply, driven largely by crypto-linked contracts.

In March, combined crypto volume across Kalshi and Polymarket reached $4.3 billion, the highest level since the 1st of May, 2025.

Momentum has carried into April.

So far, total crypto volume across both platforms has reached $2.0 billion, placing it just $200 million below January's peak of $2.2 billion. The pace of activity suggests that participation remains elevated despite broader market uncertainty.

Additional data from DeFiLlama shows that prediction market crypto volume over the past seven days has climbed to $2.68 billion, with several individual markets recording volumes as high as $9.52 million within that period.

Rising volume alongside increasing TVL points to sustained engagement, reinforcing the view that prediction markets are capturing a larger share of speculative capital.

Almost 80% of Japan's institutional investors plan to buy crypto within 3 years, survey finds


Attitudes to crypto investment in Japan are shifting from cautious interest to active portfolio planning, according to a survey by Nomura and its digital asset arm, Laser Digital, with almost 80% of the country's institutional investors saying they plan to add crypto in the next three years.

The shift reflects a growing view of crypto as a diversification tool. Many of the respondents cited low correlation with traditional asset classes as a key reason for adding exposure. Allocations, though, remain restrained, with more than half targeting between 2% and 5% of their portfolios.

It also reflects improving sentiment: 31% percent of respondents described their outlook on crypto as positive, compared with 25% in 2024, while negative sentiment declined to 18%.

The findings come as Japan refines one of the more established regulatory frameworks for digital assets among major economies. The country was an early mover in regulating crypto exchanges following the Mt. Gox collapse in 2014. Recent efforts have focused on integrating digital assets into existing financial laws, including updates tied to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.

That clarity has helped foster a domestic crypto ecosystem anchored by major companies such as SBI Holdings, the financial conglomerate that operates one of Japan’s largest crypto businesses, and bitFlyer, a long-standing exchange. Traditional financial institutions have also entered the industry.

Nomura, one of the world's largest financial services companies, founded Laser Digital in 2022 to expand into trading, asset management and venture investing, while firms like Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group have explored tokenized deposits and stablecoins.

Interest is expanding beyond simple price exposure. More than 60% of re

Proposed STRC upgrade seen as shared upside lever for Strategy and Strive shareholders: TD Cowen
Strategy is looking to shift toward semi-monthly dividend payouts that could start as early as mid-July.

Strive has adopted a similar preferred structure with its SATA paying a 12.75% annual dividend.

TD Cowen analysts say proposed dividend changes to Strategy's STRC preferred shares could benefit its common stockholders as well as holders of bitcoin treasury peer Strive.

In back-to-back notes on Monday and Tuesday, TD Cowen analysts Lance Vitanza and Jonnathan Navarrete framed STRC as a "more stable price option, with secondary benefits including improved liquidity and increased investor interest," while also acting as a funding funnel for further bitcoin (BTC) accumulation.

Strategy recently proposed moving STRC's monthly dividend payment to semi-monthly, saying it could "lead to reduced reinvestment lag, enhanced liquidity, market efficiency, and increased price stability."

"From the perspective of common shareholders, Strategy is effectively creating the only self-funded perpetual preferred instrument in the public markets," the analysts wrote, adding that it "frees up capital" for continued bitcoin accumulation without relying too much on traditional financing.

Voting on the STRC proposal will continue through June 8 and, if approved, would begin semi-monthly payments on July 15.

The bank cut its price target for Strategy's common stock (MSTR) to $350 earlier this month, but revised this to $385 on Monday. MSTR is trading for roughly $168, down more than 44% in the past six months.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said the company has started testing AI agents on Slack and email to assist employees with work tasks, continuing the company’s efforts to embed AI into its workflows.

In a post to X on Saturday, Armstrong said the company has already deployed two AI agents, modeled after two former executives, speculating that AI agents could eventually outnumber human employees at the crypto exchange.

While price action across major crypto assets has stayed relatively muted, capital has not remained idle. Instead, it has rotated into segments offering clearer short-term opportunities, with prediction markets standing out as a primary beneficiar

Prediction markets allow users to trade on the outcome of future events, pricing probabilities in real time. Contracts tied to crypto outcomes—such as price targets or market milestones—have seen increased participation as traders seek alternative ways to express market views.

This shift has translated directly into rising liquidity as Total value locked (TVL), which reflects the capital committed to support bets and facilitate trading, has climbed from $199.57 million in early October to $511.12 million this week.

TVL effectively captures the amount of capital waiting for event resolution. Its sustained increase points to deeper liquidity, stronger participation, and a more active trading environment.

Early Uber Investor Questions Current Bitcoin Price

Prominent venture capitalist Jason Calacanis has questioned whether the asset's current price is actually propped up by the accumulation strategy of Michael Saylor’s Strategy.

As reported by U.Today, Strategy recently announced a staggering $2.54 billion acquisition of 34,164 $BTC. The company’s total holdings have swelled to 815,061 $BTC. Notably, this is the third-biggest $BTC purchase to date.
