India’s crypto industry is intensifying efforts to roll back the country’s steep crypto tax regime, calling for changes to the 30% capital gains tax and 1% TDS (transaction levy).

Industry leaders argue the current structure has pushed 90% of activity offshore, stunting domestic growth and innovation.

Google’s quantum computing team has reduced the estimated quantum power needed to break RSA-2048 encryption from 20 million to under 1 million noisy qubits—a major leap that could impact digital security across industries.

While Bitcoin predominantly uses elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) rather than RSA, the study has reignited discussions about the quantum vulnerability of crypto networks and the timeline for adopting post-quantum cryptography standards.
