Can XRP indeed stage a triple- or quadruple-digit surge in the following 12-15 months? Given its vast size, the XRP Army is among the most vocal parts of the cryptocurrency community, often praising the asset and charting some mind-blowing price predictions. Although most remain within the speculative spectrum, since they are purely based on hype, a few tend to catch the eye. Those typically come from well-known Crypto X figures, such as analysts or market commentators, and have some substance. A recent example came from EGRAG CRYPTO, a popular analyst on social media, who argued that Ripple’s native token could…

Google’s Quantum AI team said earlier this week that a future quantum computer could derive a bitcoin private key from a public key in roughly nine minutes. The number ricocheted across social media and spooked markets.But, what does it actually mean in practice?Let’s start with how bitcoin transactions work. When you send bitcoin, your wallet signs the transaction with a private key, a secret number that proves you own the coins. That signature also reveals your public key, a shareable address, which gets broadcast to the network and sits in a waiting area called the mempool until a miner includes…

There’s a hole in Russia’s finances, and it’s becoming too big for the Kremlin to ignore.In September, the government set a budget deficit cap of $46 billion for 2026.The problem? The deficit already stood at 91% by the end of February, Russian media outlet Vyberu wrote, with pundits blaming a 50% drop in oil and gas revenues.Rising oil and gas prices may help alleviate some of the pain. But belts clearly need to be tightened in Moscow. That’s why the Ministry of Finance has made preventing capital from leaking overseas its major priority this year, starting with crypto.“[The Moscow Exchange]…

In brief Caltech researchers say quantum computers may require just 10,000–20,000 qubits to crack modern cryptography. The work outlines a new error-correction approach for neutral-atom quantum computers. The advance could accelerate timelines for machines capable of running Shor’s algorithm, which threatens widely used cryptography. Quantum computers capable of breaking modern cryptography may require far fewer qubits than previously believed, according to new research from the California Institute of Technology.In the study published Monday, Caltech worked with Pasadena-based Oratomic, a quantum computing startup founded by Caltech researchers, to develop a new neutral-atom system in which individual atoms are trapped and controlled…

A new analysis released by CryptoQuant, written by contributor CryptoMe, suggests that Bitcoin (BTC) may still have room to fall this year, and that the collapse could give the ideal purchasing opportunity for long-term investors.  Bitcoin Bottom At $54,000? In a Monday report, CryptoMe highlighted the cryptocurrency’s Realized Price indicator as a key reference point and argued that periods when spot prices dip at or below that level have historically been attractive accumulation zones. The Bitcoin Realized Price is, in simple terms, the market’s average cost basis: the price paid for all coins in circulation weighted by when they last…

XRP, Solana, and Cardano prices hover near $1.30, $80, and $0.24, respectively. Currently, BTC trades around $66,430 after retreating from highs of $68,000. Analysts say the week is heavy on macroeconomic data releases, and that’s likely to impact volatility. XRP, Solana, and Cardano prices hover at critical support levels amid a potentially volatile week for cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin poised just above $66,000 as traders brace for a fresh wave of macroeconomic data. While geopolitical risk from the Iran war continues to roil markets, investors weighing the next moves might also want to pay attention to key macroeconomic events this week.…

📊No votes yet – Be the first to vote Goldman Sachs thinks bitcoin prices bottomed out. The investment bank’s analyst James Yaro wrote Thursday that crypto markets probably can’t fall much more after months of brutal selling that crushed crypto stocks by 46% since October 2025, and CNBC picked up the story fast. Yaro’s team likes three stocks right now: Robinhood, Figure Technologies, and Coinbase. All three got “buy” ratings from Goldman’s traders. Figure Technologies caught the biggest price target bump, jumping from $39 to $42 per share, which means Goldman sees 35% upside potential for the blockchain-based home equity…

Soneium, an Ethereum layer-2 network developed by Sony Block Solutions, a division of the entertainment giant, Sony, has integrated an NFT cats game for the new season of its scoring program. According to a tweet, the game entails users owning, feeding, and nurturing living NFT cats, while engaging in ongoing interactive care and growth mechanics. This game, created by NekoCat World, introduces bonus quests that will help users throughout the just-commenced Season 8. In August 2025, Soneium launched a scoring system to record on-chain activity and reward ecosystem contributors. This system has used 28-day quest cycles to monitor real usage…

A new working paper from the European Central Bank examined four major protocols and found that a small number of actors control the bulk of governance token holdings.A European Central Bank working paper challenges the notion that decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) deliver on their promise of distributed governance, finding that token holdings and voting power across four major DeFi protocols are heavily concentrated among a handful of actors.The study examined governance structures at Aave, MakerDAO, Ampleforth, and Uniswap using data from late 2022 and mid-2023. The researchers analyzed the top 100 token holders and top 20 voters for each protocol,…
