TRON will launch a quantum-resistant testnet in the second quarter, Justin Sun announced. The mainnet release is planned for the third quarter.
The protocol's founder responded to a recent demonstration of cracking Bitcoin's 15-bit key using a variation of Shor's algorithm. Sun believes that in the age of AI, creating a quantum-resistant blockchain is a top priority.

JPMorgan analysts believe that tokenization will be a key factor in the transformation of traditional finance. Ciaran Fitzpatrick, the bank's head of ETFs, notes that this technology will impact not only exchange-traded funds but the entire pooled investment industry.
The expert highlights advantages such as instant settlements and 24/7 access to trading. However, mass adoption is expected to take approximately two years.

Anatoly Yakovenko proposes creating completely "immutable" software, devoid of admin keys, where even the author cannot make changes to the code.
As an experiment, he launched a risk engine with a 5 SOL pool and challenged hackers to attempt to break into the system and steal funds.
The idea is to eliminate the main source of attacks in DeFi - human error and the possibility of changing the rules.

Sam Bankman-Fried's X account claimed that if FTX's lawyers had not "dumped" the exchange's key assets after the collapse, their combined value would have been approximately $114 billion as of April 22, 2026.
The list includes six items: Anthropic (~$82.3 billion), SpaceX (~$15 billion), Solana (~$5.1 billion), Robinhood (~$4.9 billion), Genesis Digital (~$3.5 billion), and Cursor (~$3 billion).

Large investors have acquired over 1 million BTC in three months.
Last week, wallets holding between 100 and 10,000 BTC were replenished by approximately 45,000 BTC (approximately $3.5 billion). This is the fastest growth rate since July 2025.

Consideration of a key bill on the crypto market structure has been postponed until May.
The main discussion centers on the issue of rewards for storing stablecoins.
Traditional banks fear a possible outflow of deposits if crypto platforms begin legally charging interest.
If the bill is not passed by the end of May, experts predict a complete suspension of the legislative process in this area for an indefinite period.

The SEC is changing its approach to regulating the crypto industry.
SEC Chairman Paul Atkins announced the end of the practice of "regulating through pressure and lawsuits" regarding cryptocurrencies. The focus is now shifting to more transparent and understandable regulation.

Bitcoin's decline from $78,000 to $75,000 is not a bearish signal, according to analyst Ardi. He believes that a retest of support is the most important step in confirming a breakout.
A loss of the $75,000 level would be considered a bearish signal. In this scenario, a deeper correction is likely.
Alphractal founder and CEO Zhao Wedson, meanwhile, noted that Bitcoin is awaiting its final capitulation phase.

Circle has introduced USDC Bridge, a platform for cross-chain stablecoin transfers based on the CCTP protocol. The new tool offers a user-friendly interface and allows for direct USDC transfers between blockchains, eliminating the need for synthetic assets.
Transfer fees are limited to standard network fees - Circle does not charge any additional fees. Conversion of funds to pay for gas on the receiving network is automatic.
Currently, the bridge only supports EVM-compatible networks such as Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Sei, Monad, and some L2 solutions. Solana support is not yet available.

In the first quarter, public miners sold more Bitcoin than in all of 2025.
MARA, CleanSpark, Riot, Cango, Core Scientific, and Bitdeer collectively sold over 32,000 BTC. This figure exceeds the massive sell-offs seen after the Terra ecosystem crash in 2022, when approximately 20,000 coins entered the market.
At the current hashrate, approximately 20% of the industry is currently operating at a loss. The pressure on mining operations is further exacerbated by rising electricity costs and mining difficulty, which is near historical highs.

According to Tom Lee, CEO of BitMine, ETH is emerging from a long consolidation phase and could reach $60,000–$62,000 in the coming years.

Bitcoin researchers and developers have presented BIP-361. The proposal proposes a temporary freeze on early addresses that are potentially vulnerable to hacking using quantum computers.
The primary focus is on P2PK addresses with exposed public keys. This preventative freeze is intended to protect users' funds in the future, when technological advances allow private keys to be generated using publicly available data.

Wallet owners with balances between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC now control over 4.25 million coins, representing 21.3% of the total supply. This is the highest level since mid-February.
Last Sunday, whales added 27,652 BTC to their accounts, equivalent to $2 billion.

Several former crypto giants, once valued in the billions of dollars, have seen their value almost completely wiped out. For example, Fuel's market cap fell from $1 billion to $9 million, while Starknet and zkSync lost approximately 96% of their value. This underscores how quickly even the most promising projects in the crypto space can lose their significance.

Hyperliquid continues to lead the decentralized derivatives exchange market in open interest and daily trading volume, with figures reaching $7.7 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively. The platform is comfortably ahead of its competitor, Aster, and the market capitalization of its HYPE token is approaching $10 billion.

On the weekly chart, the MACD showed a bullish crossover, which typically signals a potential rise in BTC.
However, in 2022, such signals were accompanied by declines of 60% and 40%.

StarkWare's Chief Product Officer, Avihu Levi, claimed that the world's first cryptocurrency network can be protected from a quantum threat without a protocol upgrade. He presented Quantum Safe Bitcoin (QSB), a scheme that makes Bitcoin transactions quantum-resistant within the capabilities of the existing Bitcoin Script.
Levi estimates that QSB costs approximately $75-$150 per transaction at current cloud computing prices. This is significantly higher than the average Bitcoin fee of $0.30, so he called the tool a "measure of last resort."

The monthly transaction volume using crypto cards in March 2026 was approximately $600 million, more than tripling the volume in March 2025.
Crypto card users completed approximately 22 million transactions, with the total transaction volume exceeding $6.6 billion.

The new EIP-8142 standard will replace Ethereum blocks with "blobs" for scalability.

A consortium of major Swiss banks has launched a pilot project to introduce a stablecoin pegged to the Swiss franc into the national economy. The goal is to create a digital payments layer.
Banks participating in the project include UBS, PostFinance, Sygnum, Raiffeisen, Zürcher Kantonalbank, and BCV. More participants are expected to join. The regulated stablecoin is issued by Swiss Stablecoin AG.
