According to Decrypt, Coinbase's Quantum Computing and Blockchain Independent Advisory Committee released a report on Tuesday stating that proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchains may face a greater risk of exposure to future quantum computing attacks, as the cryptography relied upon by the validator signatures that protect these networks could ultimately be cracked by sufficiently powerful quantum computers. The report points out that PoS networks like Ethereum and Solana rely on cryptographic signatures—Ethereum validators use BLS signatures, while Solana validators and users use Ed25519 signatures—to help the network reach consensus on blocks and maintain consensus.The advisory committee stated, "PoS chains have exposure risks in the signature schemes used by validators to protect the network, which means that the challenges faced by PoS are not just about upgrading wallets; parts of the core consensus mechanism itself may need to be redesigned." The report mentioned recent work by Ethereum developers, including a proposal by co-founder Vitalik Buterin in February to replace BLS validator signatures, KZG commitments, and ECDSA wallet signatures with quantum-resistant alternatives.The committee also listed the digital signatures used in cryptocurrency wallets as another major long-term vulnerability, estimating that about 6.9 million bitcoins belong to the category where the public keys are already visible on-chain. The report stated that the current cryptocurrency system remains secure, as quantum computers capable of breaking modern cryptographic signatures do not yet exist.

ChainCatcher reports live that Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation, delivered a keynote speech at the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival. She pointed out from a macroeconomic perspective that global production, users, and resources are distributed globally, but capital formation is not; only 20 stock exchanges in 14 countries account for 94% of the global market value of approximately $145 trillion, with two-thirds concentrated in the United States. This means that about 180 countries have almost no access to capital markets, and their economies can only rely on debt rather than equity financing, failing to provide ownership pathways for their citizens.She proposed the vision of an "Internet Capital Market," where any asset from anywhere can raise capital from anyone globally, priced in dollars and settled on an open track. Stablecoins are the key infrastructure for this vision, enabling any country to participate in the global financial system, while Solana provides the underlying settlement and execution layers. She also contrasted "Universal Basic Ownership" (UBO) with the widely discussed "Universal Basic Income" (UBI) in the AI era, arguing that blockchain allows anyone with a mobile phone to hold a part of their country's economy, representing basic property rights in the digital age without resorting to placing everyone in a welfare system.

Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that the financial disclosures of Federal Reserve Chair nominee Waller show that he holds early-stage investments through employment-related investment vehicles, covering a wide range of areas, including some crypto infrastructure projects. The projects involved include: Compound (decentralized lending protocol), Optimism and Blast (Ethereum Layer 2 network), as well as Solana, in addition to trading infrastructure, crypto investment firms, and platforms in various fields such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology. These holdings appear to be relatively small, with poor liquidity, and have not generated reportable income, indicating a preference for indirect venture capital-style exposure rather than direct, tradable liquid assets.

Solana co-founder toly commented on the controversy surrounding Circle's USDC freezing mechanism, stating that we need a base layer stablecoin that can only be frozen under a court order. If there are other factors that can freeze it besides authorization from a judge approved by the U.S. Senate, then it is not a true dollar stablecoin.toly suggested that various protocols (such as Drift and Kamino) should issue wrapped stablecoins with their own freezing and unfreezing strategies on top of the base layer stablecoin, equipped with a security team truly responsible for handling hacking incidents, while having independent freezing and unfreezing strategies.It is reported that after the recent hacking of the Drift protocol, Circle did not promptly freeze the stolen USDC. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire's remarks about the "moral dilemma" and freezing policy have sparked widespread discussion in the community regarding the freezing mechanisms of centralized stablecoins.
