Bitcoin and artificial intelligence appear to be moving in opposite directions regarding how their power is distributed. Galaxy Research head Alex Thorn pointed out on Sunday that Bitcoin mining, which started on simple home computers, now mostly happens in massive…
AbstractOn March 30, 2026, two landmark papers — one from Google Quantum AI and one from Oratomic/Caltech — dramatically lowered the estimated resources needed to break Bitcoin’s 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography. Google showed that a fast superconducting machine with fewer than 500,000 physical qubits could crack a key in roughly nine minutes, enabling real-time “on-spend” attacks. Oratomic demonstrated that a much smaller neutral-atom system (~26,000 qubits) could achieve the same break in a

They’ve been a formidable force that’s driven the S&P 500 to new heights in recent years on the back of an AI boom period, but is Wall Street cooling on the Magnificent Seven?At the peak of the artificial intelligence rally that’s so far endured for three and a half years, the Magnificent Seven appeared to be unstoppable, and far more than the FAANG collective of market leaders that preceded it.Amounting to around one-third of the entirety of the S&P 500 based on capitalization, the Magn
By Jamie McCormick, Co-CMO, Stabull LabsThe fourteenth article in the 15 part “Deconstructing DeFi” Series.⸻Specifically, we’ll explain atomic swaps in a DeFi context, why they are foundational to modern execution, and why Stabull’s design makes it particularly well-suited to being used inside them.What “atomic” really meansIn DeFi, an atomic transaction is one that either:completes in full, ordoes not happen at allThere is no partial completion.Every step inside the transaction is executed as a
Why you should listenThe global logistics industry is worth trillions, yet sending a single document internationally through legacy couriers like DHL or FedEx can still cost well over a hundred dollars and take a week to arrive. MovitOn is attacking that inefficiency with a peer-to-peer model that connects senders directly with travellers who have spare luggage capacity. The concept is deceptively simple: if someone is already flying from Medellín to Frankfurt, they can carry your parcel for a f
A combination of strong trading activity, improving regulatory sentiment, and renewed institutional interest has supported the surge. Market participants are now closely watching whether ZEC can stabilize above recent breakout levels and build momentum toward the next resistance zones near $389 and potentially $500.ZEC Rally Accelerates as Volume and Momentum BuildMarket observers noted a dramatic intraday spike on April 10, when ZEC surged to nearly $389 before settling near the mid-$350 range.

The kingdom's holdings have dropped from 13,000 BTC to 3,954 since October 2024, with $215.7 million moved out this year alone. Its last mining inflow over $100,000 was recorded more than a year ago.
Together, the developments paint a picture of a maturing asset class being pulled simultaneously into two very different arenas: sovereign brinkmanship and congressional horse-trading.Bitcoin as a sanctions-resistant toll boothThe more dramatic storyline emerged from the Middle East, where a Financial Times report revealed that Iran is exploring the use of Bitcoin for transit fees levied on oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The narrow waterway handles roughly a fifth of the world
Unlike banks, crypto networks run without a central boss and without access requirements. Anyone with a device and Internet can create their own wallet in minutes. They can also participate as “block producers” (miner, “validator,” or equivalent) without sharing their identity. Crypto is pseudonymous and open… and that, without proper protection, could cause bad things like a Sybil attack.\The term and the mechanism existed well before cryptocurrencies, since it applies to reputation systems and
Stablecoins have come from nowhere to create a parallel financial world alongside traditional banking. These crypto tokens, usually pegged for a 1:1 exchange with fiat currencies and backed by liquid assets, aim to bring the best of blockchain to the table and add a dash of stability. Over the past few years, stablecoins have really taken off: we're now talking about market capitalization in the hundreds of billions and trading volume in tens of trillions annually. They're promising faster, chea

Back has categorically denied the claim, and the broader crypto community has responded with a mixture of scepticism and outright frustration.The case Carreyrou buildsCarreyrou, famous for the reporting that brought down Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, said his interest in Back was first piqued while watching the 2024 HBO documentary Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery. In the film, Back was confronted on a park bench in Riga, Latvia, and Carreyrou said Back’s reaction registered as decepti
Bitcoin MagazineStrategy’s (MSTR) Bitcoin Ambition Is Reshaping Corporate Finance. Everyone Else Is Falling BehindThe bitcoin numbers from March are hard to ignore and are bullish at first glance. Public and private companies collectively added 47,435 BTC to their treasuries last month — worth roughly $3.2 billion at month-end prices — but strip away one name from the ledger and the picture shifts dramatically. Nearly every one of those coins was bought by Michael Saylor’s Strategy.
