Hyperliquid Research Collective released the Hyperliquid Q3 2026 report, which was compiled by Four Pillars and GLC Research. The third-quarter agreement revenue increased by 21.7% compared to the second quarter, reaching $190.9 million. Hyperliquid began earning USDC reserve revenue sharing on August 27, and within a month, this revenue amounted to $17.3 million, accounting for about half of the revenue increase this quarter.

IBM announced the next-generation superconducting quantum processor IBM Quantum Nighthawk r3, designed to accurately perform 10,000 quantum operations on 520 programmable qubits. This processor contains 2,034 physical qubits, continuing the square lattice connectivity and fast operation architecture of Nighthawk r2, and adds 10 inter-chip connections called l-couplers. IBM plans to connect two Nighthawk r3 processors into a single 1,040 qubit system by 2027.The currently deployed Nighthawk r2 is equipped with 120 programmable qubits, 218 couplers, and 120 reset elements, capable of executing over 100,000 circuits per second, with a throughput approximately 25 times that of Heron, and a maximum speed increase of 19 times for partner workloads, with E.ON reporting a 15 times increase. IBM previously connected two Nighthawk r1 processors using 4 l-couplers, achieving a quantum state transfer fidelity of up to 99.3%, averaging 99%; the two connected cryogenic modules cooled down to below 15 milli-Kelvin within 5 days.

L2 Network Katana tweeted that it has completed three acquisitions, including the Sushi deployment on Katana (now Katana Swap), IDEX (now Katana Perps), and Vault Bridge (native yield generation).Katana also updated its tokenomics; vKAT and the voting mechanism will be phased out, and holders can participate in yields by staking to avKAT. Starting from November 17, a portion of the fees from Swap, Perps, Vault Bridge, and sequencer will flow to avKAT, and a programmatic buyback will be initiated, reducing the unstaking cooldown period from 45 days to 7 days.

Ethlabs published an article on the Ethereum developer community forum, proposing to set 2027 as the target year for Ethereum to achieve post-quantum and post-AI capabilities, referring to this plan as "pqai27." The proposal argues that with the rapid enhancement of AI capabilities, the accelerated development of quantum computing, and the increased ability of AI models to discover software vulnerabilities on a large scale, Ethereum should prioritize strengthening the security of its underlying protocol to prepare for potential future cryptographic risks and cyberattacks.Ethlabs pointed out that the U.S. government has advanced its target date for addressing quantum risks from 2035 to 2030, while Google plans to achieve post-quantum capabilities by 2029. At the same time, AI is solving a large number of long-standing mathematical problems and can also discover software vulnerabilities on a large scale. Ethlabs believes that although there is currently no evidence that existing cryptographic primitives will definitely be broken by AI, the associated risks are difficult to predict accurately, making it necessary to advance security upgrades proactively.In terms of the technical roadmap, Ethlabs divides the goals into two phases: the first is "pqai-ready," which means the Ethereum consensus layer will achieve a post-quantum upgrade, allowing all users to have a path to migrate to post-quantum accounts; if existing cryptography fails prematurely, the network can still operate with reduced processing capacity. The second is "pqai-scaled," which means supporting post-quantum transactions and data availability under full network capacity, aiming for post-quantum transactions to reach the processing scale of ordinary transactions, including post-quantum signature aggregation and post-quantum data availability solutions.To achieve this goal, Ethlabs suggests reassessing the scope of the upcoming hard fork Hegotá, reconsidering upgrades that do not belong to the critical path of pqai27. Among them, Frames and related post-quantum account proposals are still regarded as key components; FOCIL needs to be reassessed for its impact on upgrade progress and post-quantum compatibility. Additionally, Ethereum needs to choose between the post-quantum transformation of the existing Gasper consensus protocol and transitioning to a decoupled consensus. Ethlabs stated that to concentrate resources on advancing pqai27, it will withdraw the Quick Slots feature previously sought for Hegotá and plans to continue promoting this feature in 2028. The Glamsterdam upgrade and its scaling plan will proceed as originally scheduled. This roadmap remains a suggestion proposed by Ethlabs and will require further discussion and determination by Ethereum core developers.

According to Brazilian media Portal do Bitcoin, Ailton de Aquino Santos, the Director of Regulation at the Central Bank of Brazil, stated that about 30% of the applications for licenses from cryptocurrency service providers have issues with registered capital not meeting regulatory requirements, and many applying institutions have not submitted audited financial statements.The Central Bank of Brazil previously announced 120 cryptocurrency license applications, of which 119 are still under review, and 1 has been rejected. According to the new regulations, the minimum capital requirement for cryptocurrency trading and intermediary service providers can reach 37.2 million reais (approximately 7 million USD). Currently, the regulatory authority has not disclosed the list of non-compliant companies, and the 30% non-compliance ratio does not mean that the same proportion of applications will ultimately be rejected.
