    CryptoSlate - 16:55 Dec 19, 2025
    A fresh $4 billion lawsuit tied to Terraform Labs’ collapse is becoming a test of what a stablecoin’s $1 promise means amid the adoption of dollar tokens as payment rails. The case is about more than who pays for a 2022-era failure. It also decides whether a “stable” price can be maintained by arrangements that […] The post Terraform’s $4 billion Jump lawsuit exposes the hidden “shadow trading” that may be artificially holding up stablecoin prices appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Bitcoin encryption isn’t at risk from quantum computers for one simple reason: it doesn’t actually exist
    CryptoSlate - 10:32 Dec 19, 2025
    Contrary to popular belief, quantum computers will not “crack” Bitcoin encryption; instead, any realistic threat would focus on exploiting digital signatures tied to exposed public keys. Quantum computers cannot decrypt Bitcoin because it stores no encrypted secrets on-chain. Ownership is enforced by digital signatures and hash-based commitments, not ciphertext. The quantum risk that matters is […] The post Bitcoin encryption isn’t at risk from quantum computers for one simple reason: it doesn’t actually exist appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Reality has proven otherwise.
