A Bitcoin transaction that costs $75 to $150 in GPU compute is not built for daily use, but it may still matter.

StarkWare chief product officer Avihu Levy has put forward a scheme called Quantum Safe Bitcoin, or QSB, that he says could make new BTC transfers resistant to quantum attacks without changing the Bitcoin protocol.

The proposal is designed to work even against a large quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm.

A Workaround Inside Bitcoin’s Existing Rules
Levy’s plan stays within the crypto’s current legacy script limits and does not require a soft fork. Instead of relying on elliptic curve math, QSB swaps in a hash-to-signature puzzle.

In simple terms, the sender must find an input whose hash output happens to look like a valid ECDSA signature, a process that depends on brute-force work rather than the kind of math quantum computers are expected to break.

That makes the scheme unusual. It does not try to rebuild Bitcoin from the ground up. It tries to bolt on a narrow shield using rules that already exist.

The researchers describe it as a temporary answer while the bigger question of its long-term quantum defense remains unsettled.

Praise, Pushback And A Narrow Use Case
StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson called the work “huge” and said it essentially makes Bitcoin quantum-safe today. But not everyone agrees with that framing.

Bitcoin ESG specialist Daniel Batten said the claim goes too far because the paper does not address exposed public keys or dormant wallets.

He pointed to an estimated 1.7 million BTC sitting in early P2PK addresses that could be vulnerable if a quantum computer becomes powerful enough to crack them.

The new scheme also comes with a sharp limit on who might use it. According to the proposal, it is more complex than a

Two of the most closely watched regulatory bodies in American finance are operating with skeleton crews. The Securities and Exchange Commission has three of its five commissioner seats filled — all by Republicans.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has just one sitting commissioner. Both vacancies come at a moment when the agencies are expected to take center stage in shaping the rules around digital assets, should a crypto market structure bill that has been stalled in the Senate since July 2025 finally pass.

A Nominee With Stakes In The Industry
Against that backdrop, Kevin Warsh — US President Donald Trump’s pick to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell — filed a financial disclosure last week that revealed personal investments in crypto and artificial intelligence companies.

Based on reports, Warsh’s filing with the US Office of Government Ethics lists holdings in Compound, Dapper Labs, and Kinetic on the crypto side, alongside AI firms including Delphi, Conversion, Factory, and Glue, among others.

His total disclosed assets top $100 million. The largest single entry is more than $50 million in something called the Juggernaut Fund. Another major line item: more than $10 million in consulting fees from the Duquesne Family Office, the investment firm run by billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller.

None of his crypto and AI investments included a value range in the disclosure. It is unclear why. The ethics office’s rules do not require reporting assets valued under $1,000, which may explain the omission — though the gap leaves open questions about the full scope of his exposure to sectors the Fed’s interest rate decisions directly affect.

The hero of the cryptocurrency market, the next big thing, Dogecoin killer, was all the labels Shiba Inu got wrapped just three years ago. The dog-themed token was the talk of the town due to its market-defying logic during that period. Anyone questioning its superiority was automatically deemed illogical and a SHIB hater ‘trying to create FUD.’Now, all of the above-mentioned praises are a thing of the past, and the wheels of motion have changed. Shiba Inu’s relevance continues to fade in 2026 with little to no murmurs on social media. The majority of investors who took an entry position in the token have given up their hopes on the asset. SHIB is no longer scaling up but is dwindling nonstop in the charts with no reverse break.Also Read: Cronos Set to Overtake Shiba Inu in Crypto RankingsShiba Inu Loses 52% of Its Value in a YearSource: trifectaShiba Inu is currently trading at the $0.0000058 range on Wednesday. This is a steep decline that nobody saw coming. It has bled 52% in a year, wiping away a major chunk of investments in the last 12 months. The charts below show that SHIB has only moved downward and not upward from 2025 to 2026. Only a few bouts of upswing were recorded, which were overshadowed by bearishness in less than a week.If this downward trend continues, Shiba Inu will be at risk of adding another zero and trade at $0.0000009. If that happens, all faith in the dog-themed token will be eroded, making it further irrelevant. Traders will make peace with their losses and move on in life, not depending on SHIB’s outcome. While the upward part is limited, the downward trend now looks unlimited for the token.Taking an entry position in Shiba Inu now still remains a risky affair. There is a high chance of a dip and price stagnation due to no hype and buzz. The meme currency needs steadfast support to maintain its position in the charts, failing whic
