There's a $317B Reason Washington Finally Cares About Stablecoins

USDC's quantum problem: 37 networks, 1 weak link, and no easy fix

Circle says quantum threats are closing in on crypto, but making USDC quantum-safe isn't a simple upgrade. With $73.6 billion scattered across 37 different blockchains, each with its own signing system, the migration might take longer than the threat itself.

Wyoming is putting Chainlink's oracle infrastructure to work verifying reserves for its state-issued FRNT stablecoin in near-real-time. This isn't a checkbox exercise. It's the first time a government has handed the auditing keys to a permissionless network. Here's what that actually means.

Adam Back Puts Another $8.8M Into Capital B: Bitcoin Treasuries aren't Done Yet

TAC remains frozen at block 24,671,475, more than 10 days after a critical Cosmos EVM bug drained 28.6% of its supply. The exploit was reported in April. The fix landed in August. That gap says everything about how this industry treats its infrastructure.
