If 2025 was the warm-up act for quantum computing, 2026 is when the headliner finally takes the stage. Quantum innovation has officially moved from theory to traction—and for blockchain, that means one thing: the countdown to a complete cryptographic rethink is underway. When Quantum Got Serious For years, quantum computing has been Silicon Valley’s favorite “almost there” story—equal parts hope, hype, and high-stakes math. Then came the breakthroughs that changed the tone from speculative to strategic. In 2026, the focus has shifted from flashy qubit counts to something far more significant: logical qubits —error-corrected, stable quantum bits capable of running real workloads. Companies like IBM , Quantinuum , and Atom Computing have all crossed key thresholds in quantum error correction and scalability. In simple terms: we’re closer than ever to a world where Shor’s Algorithm—the code that can tear through Bitcoin...

When the world’s largest asset manager narrows its attention to just two crypto assets, investors pay attention. BlackRock’s latest positioning suggests that, out of thousands of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin  (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are the digital assets it views as core allocations. Why this matters now In Q3 2025 alone, BlackRock increased its crypto holdings by over $22.46 billion, according to Finbold’s Q3 Cryptocurrency Market Report. That growth was driven largely by fresh exposure to Ethereum alongside steady Bitcoin accumulation. At the same time, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has dominated U.S. ETF flows. Research shows that without IBIT, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs would have been net negative for the year, underscoring how much institutional demand is being funnelled into a single product.  IBIT daily inflows.

China has purchased two cargoes of US soybeans in its first known order this season. The development marks a revival of trade flow as a new agreement is expected to be inked this week. The world’s two biggest economies have been at loggerheads in 2025 due to tariffs and trade wars. China Briefly Resumes US Soybeans Purchase Source: en.clickpetroleoegas.com.br The US soybeans shipment has been booked by China for delivery later this year, reported Bloomberg. The purchase comes as the US and Chinese officials laid the groundwork for the trade deal in Malaysia. This paved the way for Donald Trump and Xi Jinping to finalize the trade deal in South Korea. Insiders suggest that once the trade deal is passed, Trump will likely roll back the tariffs. Even Jinping could cut down on retaliatory tariffs, which he imposed after the Liberation Day. The rollback would include tariffs, fees, and export restrictions that plagued the smooth flow of goods. China had been procuring soybeans from Bra...

A popular crypto analyst thinks chart patterns suggest one non-fungible token (NFT)-related altcoin is primed to surge in price. The digital asset trader Ali Martinez tells his 161,200 X followers that PENGU, the native token of the Pudgy Penguins NFT collection, just broke out of a falling wedge pattern. A falling wedge breakout is a technical Analysis pattern that is used to identify potential bullish reversals in an asset’s price. The pattern is characterized by a series of lower highs and lower lows that form a wedge-shaped pattern on the chart. As the pattern progresses, the distance between the highs and lows decreases, which indicates that the selling pressure is weakening. When the price breaks out of the upper trend line of the wedge, it’s traditionally considered bullish. Martinez says PENGU could surge to $0.026. With the asset trading at $0.0224 at time of writing, that would represent an increase of more than 16%. The analyst also notes that ...

Protos repeatedly warned that the peak for bitcoin (BTC) treasury companies had passed by late May, and those warnings have proven accurate. Indeed, the industry continues to fall further out of favor with investors, as demonstrated by the relentless downtrend in these companies’ most important metric — their multiple-to-Net Asset Value (mNAV). Investors’ convey their confidence in management’s ongoing ability to accrete BTC per share on a ongoing basis via the mNAV they pay when buying common stock.  Unlike traditional companies that focus on selling products and services to customers, BTC treasury executives like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) founder Michael Saylor believe that amassing BTC allows them to accrete additional BTC by leveraging and financializing that treasury. Although tracking the mNAV for all treasury companies is complicated by lengthy merger documents, equity swaps, and thousands of pages of Securities and Exchange Commission filings,...

Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, aka CZ, has clashed with Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff over claims he made about tokenized gold. The confrontation originated from comments Schiff made in a live stream with Threadguy that he plans a blockchain-based platform to launch a tokenized gold product that would have an edge over Bitcoin. “Because gold will maintain its purchasing power so ideally the one thing that makes sense to put on a blockchain is gold,” he said.   Schiff added that his tokenized gold product will “do all the things that Bitcoin promises but can never do” and that traders would be able to purchase the tokenized gold through a platform called SchiffGold. “And then you can transfer the quantity of gold, instantly at very low cost,” he said. ”Much cheaper and much quicker than you can transfer Bitcoin. You can pay or be paid in gold. And you can redeem it in physical gold or eventually you can redeem it in a token....

A total of three countries, Russia, China, and India, have officially achieved 90% to 95% de-dollarization in 2025. The development is reshaping global trade dynamics as China and India are the economic powerhouses of the East. This puts significant pressure on the US dollar, which is struggling to maintain trust in the international markets. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak confirmed that the country is being successful in de-dollarization. He revealed during an interview that Russia has transitioned 90%–95% of its trade settlements with China and India into national currencies. “The market itself meets the need for settlements in national currencies. For example, with our friends from China and India, we have already switched to national currencies by 90–95%,” said Novak during an interview with Solovyov Live TV channel. He explained that Russia will continue the de-dollarization process and put a significant strain on the US dollar. The Russian Deputy Minist...

Canada’s British Columbia will stop accepting new connection requests from new crypto mining projects to its clean and renewable energy infrastructure. An Oct. 20 statement , the province said there will be a “permanent ban on new BC Hydro connections to the electricity grid” for crypto miners that will come into effect later this year. That follows an 18-month ban that was rolled out back in December 2022. This was done so that the government could take the time to develop a permanent framework that balances the needs of crypto miners, residents and businesses in the region. In the announcement, the British Columbia government also said that the crypto mining sector’s “disproportionate energy consumption” offers “limited economic benefit.” That’s as pending crypto projects would have demanded more than 11,700 gigawatt-hours of power each year, which is enough electricity to supply hundreds of thousands of homes across British C...

XRP price prediction models are pointing to a dramatic wealth-creation opportunity within the next 60 days, according to recent analyst forecasts. The XRP price prediction surge is being driven by the token’s deflationary supply mechanism and growing IoT adoption, which could push prices to millionaire-making levels for current holders.

Crypto analyst SMQKE explained the significance of this structure, stating: “XRP token cannot be mined and its quantity will constantly decrease, and everything that exists in a limited amount and is actively used is becoming more expensive, therefore, with the growth of the network, the XRP price will increase significantly.” XRP = Deflationar...
