The quantum computing threat to Bitcoin has been moving from “distant” and “eventually” to “possibly within a planning horizon.” The real question here is, could cryptography timelines compress faster than the industry expects? Analysts and market commentary continues to frame the issue as one of preparedness rather than panic obviously. But it is safe to say that the work to mitigate any Q-day risks need to start right away.  Speaking of which, qLabs is set to launch its token qONE in a week with presale going live on Thursday, 5 February 2026, 2pm UTC.

At the same time, a pension fund in Tokyo trades Tesla shares seamlessly, all without permission, intermediaries or geographic constraints. This isn’t science fiction.It’s the logical endpoint of blockchain technology and asset tokenization, a vision that has captivated everyone from JPMorgan executives to Silicon Valley dreamers.Yet this remains a distant future. Not because we lack ideas, but because we’re trying to build it on a foundation — today’s blockchain infrastructure — that…

Bitcoin hovered near $89,000 on Wednesday as the Federal Reserve opted to hold interest rates steady, pausing its rate-cutting cycle and striking a notably calmer tone on inflation and the labor market. The bitcoin price traded above $90,000 earlier in the session before slipping to around $89,500 as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell spoke at his post-meeting press conference.  The move came after the Fed announced it would keep its benchmark federal funds rate unchanged at a range of 3.5% to 3.75%, ending a streak of three consecutive 25-basis-point cuts delivered in September, October, and December.
