As Tharimmune raises $540 million to build a Canton Coin treasury, the story behind the Canton Network shows that ICOs are not the only way to launch new blockchains. The blockchain ecosystem is home to several highly successful smart contract protocols, which makes the arrival of newcomers highly competitive. Canton Network is one of the newest ‘next generation layer one’ to vie for users and capital from incumbents like Ethereum and Solana. Alongside SUI and Aptos, Canton’s rise challenges the assumption that we have too many blockchains. Rooz said that the developers had taken a lot of learnings from the launches of other layer-1 protocols as well as the teething problems of established players like Ethereum.  Read more

Bitcoin trades near $91K, trapped between $84K support and $112K resistance, as traders watch for the next major price move.

Quantum security is moving from theory to practice as layer-1 blockchains prepare long-term plans to adopt post-quantum cryptography. Quantum computers still look like lab toys: Racks of hardware, error-prone qubits and almost no real-world applications. Yet if you check the roadmaps of major layer-1 blockchains, a new priority now sits next to scaling and modularity: post-quantum security. The concern is simple even if the math isn’t. Most major blockchains rely on elliptic-curve signatures (ECDSA and Ed25519) to prove that a transaction came from the owner of a private key. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm could, in theory, recover those private keys from their public counterparts and let an attacker sign fake transactions. Read more

Crypto plunged over $1 trillion in weeks, but analysts say the downturn isn’t systemic and break down the macro drivers, institutional behavior and investor survival strategies. The crypto market’s most turbulent period of 2025 resulted in a drawdown that erased more than $1.2 trillion in value and sent Bitcoin (BTC) plunging from its brief $120,000 peak to the $80,000 range. For many investors, the speed and severity of the selloff stirred déjà vu from 2017 and 2022. This week’s episode of Byte-Sized Insight hears from experts that this downturn is different — and far less catastrophic — than the headlines suggest. Macro analyst and author of the Crypto is Macro Now Substack Noelle Acheson argued that the latest dip is “not a big deal” and, crucially, “not systemic.” Instead, she called it a liquidity-driven correction sparked by shifting expectations around Federal Reserve rate cuts.

A proposal submitted to CTDG Dev Hub suggests introducing native transaction batching to Tron. Transaction fees are a major concern when sending cryptocurrency. Each transaction incurs a fee that is received by the miner, and that translates to paying hefty amounts for large organizations that regularly deal with large transactions. Transaction batching is a method invented for such scenarios. The method treats multiple transactions as one to improve scalability and reduce costs. The feature may soon arrive on Tron, thanks to a newly submitted proposal. The proposal was submitted by blockchain infrastructure provider Boosty Labs to the CTDG Dev Hub. The proposal is the first fruit of this effort. If passed, it can give Tron, an ecosystem home to many exchanges, payment processors and one of the highest-volume USDT markets, a native batching solution. Let’s take a deep dive into how transaction batching works, what sets the proposal’s approach apart from previous methods and how its arrival can transform the T...

Uzbekistan will reportedly roll out stablecoins as an official payment method from Jan. 1, 2026, under a new regulatory sandbox that also enables tokenized securities trading.
