  • Google announces quantum advantage, 13,000 times faster than supercomputers
    Cointelegraph.com - 19:56 Oct 22, 2025
    Google's Willow quantum computer processor was able to map out the features of a molecule 13,000 times faster than a modern supercomputer. Researchers at tech giant Google said they mapped out the structure of a molecule 13,000 times faster than the most powerful “supercomputers” available today, achieving the first verifiable quantum advantage. The experiment used Google’s Willow Quantum processor and “quantum echoes,” a technique that uses targeted waves to image an object in detail, according to Google. The technique targets a single qubit, the basic unit of information storage in quantum computing, with a precise signal, causing it to react. The process is then reversed, allowing the researchers to measure the “echo” or signal that bounces back, Google said. Read more

  • If Bitcoin isn’t ‘crypto,’ what makes it different?
    Cointelegraph.com - 15:45 Oct 22, 2025
    Bitcoin’s design, governance and regulation set it apart from crypto. From supply rules to ETFs, it now sits in a category of its own. An X post from Jack Dorsey revived an old question: Is Bitcoin part of “crypto” or a category of its own? On Oct. 19, 2025, Jack Dorsey posted three words on X: “bitcoin is not crypto.” The post quickly drew attention across the platform and in media coverage. It reflected a view he has long maintained, that Bitcoin should be regarded as money with its own rules and history, not included in the broader token market. Read more

    Cointelegraph.com - 14:13 Oct 22, 2025
    Gold suffered a massive $2.5 trillion market cap dip comparable to the entire Bitcoin market, showing that “safe-haven” assets are not immune to volatility. Gold, one of the oldest and most trusted stores of value, suffered a brutal sell-off in just 24 hours, wiping out trillions of dollars in market value, more than the entire value of Bitcoin. The gold market extended Tuesday’s massive correction, with $2.5 trillion being erased from its market cap on Wednesday, according to the financial analysis publication, The Kobeissi Letter. Putting gold on track for its largest two-day decline since 2013, the 8% drop has sparked panic among investors who had turned to the metal as a hedge against inflation and market volatility after its 60% surge earlier in 2022.

  • Aave DAO proposes $50M annual token buyback using DeFi revenues
    Cointelegraph.com - 13:28 Oct 22, 2025
    The proposal would make Aave’s $50 million annual buyback a permanent feature, expanding on the success of previous buyback initiatives. Aave’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) introduced a proposal to create a long-term, protocol-funded buyback program that would use up to $50 million in annual revenue to repurchase Aave tokens. The proposal, submitted on Wednesday by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI), seeks to make buybacks a permanent component of Aave’s tokenomics. Under the plan, the Aave Finance Committee (AFC) and TokenLogic would lead the execution, repurchasing $250,000 to $1.75 million in Aave (AAVE) tokens weekly, depending on market conditions, liquidity and volatility.  If approved, the proposal will proceed through the Aave Request for Comment (ARFC) stage for community feedback, followed by a Snapshot vote and final onchain governance confirmation. Unlike short-term market interventions, the proposal aims to institutionalize buybacks as a recurring mechanism, essentially making the DAO ...

  • Cliff bought 2 homes with Bitcoin mortgages: Clever… or insane?
    Cointelegraph.com - 13:20 Oct 22, 2025
    Should you buy a house with a Bitcoin-backed mortgage? The dream is you pay off the house as Bitcoin goes up, the risk is you lose it all. If youre one of the lucky people who own four to six Bitcoin or 111 to 166 ETH that’s enough to buy an average-priced house in the US or Australia. But who wants to cash out their Bitcoin today when pundits like Samson Mow and Plan B are tipping it will be worth 10 times more in the future? The dream of a Bitcoin-backed mortgage is that you get a house today and still get to benefit from Bitcoins appreciation tomorrow. If everything goes to plan, you just pay the interest each year, and in a few years’ time, hopefully pay off the mortgage with a smaller fraction of your Bitcoin holdings. The loans are quicker and easier to get than a standard mortgage too. All you need is Bitcoin worth approximately 50% more than the loan amount and youre good to go. There are some big drawbacks however, with interest rates sometimes twice as high as ordinary mortgages. Holders face margin...
