Quantum Risks: Chaincode Labs Assessed the Threat to Bitcoin.
Experts from the research organization Chaincode Labs published a detailed report on the potential threats of quantum computers to Bitcoin. The 55-page document was prepared by Dr. Anthony Milton and Clara Schickelman in May 2025.
How Many Bitcoins Are at Risk
According to the authors' estimates, between 20% and 50% of all bitcoins in circulation (4-10 million BTC) are potentially vulnerable to attacks using cryptographically relevant quantum computers (Cryptographically relevant quantum computer, CRQC).
The most accurate estimate from Project Eleven as of January 17, 2025, indicates 6,262,905 BTC. The funds are distributed as follows:
Satoshi-era bitcoins – between 600,000 and 1.1 million BTC remain on P2PK type addresses with fully exposed public keys;
Lost coins – between 2 and 3 million BTC belong to users who have lost access to their private keys. Not all of them are quantum vulnerable, but a significant portion is at risk;
Addresses with exposed keys – millions of bitcoins are on addresses where public keys have been revealed due to their reuse. $BTC

Invesco and Galaxy Digital have reportedly registered a trust for a Solana-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) ($SOL ) in Delaware called the "Invesco Galaxy Solana Trust" on June 12, 2025. The registration is a preliminary step that allows the companies to begin preparing regulatory documents, such as filing a Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and a Form 19b-4 with a national exchange. However, the registration does not guarantee approval or listing of the ETF. Currently, only Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) spot ETFs are allowed in the U.S., and it is unclear whether the SEC will approve a Solana-based ETF due to regulatory restrictions related to market oversight and asset custody. The move reflects growing interest in altcoin-based investment products, but further developments are subject to the SEC's decision within the standard 240-day review period. $BTC $ETH $SOL

Комиссия по ценным бумагам и биржам США (SEC) официально отозвала предложенные экс-главой ведомства Гэри Генслером правила, касающиеся сектора DeFi и хранения криптоактивов. Об этом сообщает The Block.
Среди прочего отклонен проект поправок к правилу 3b-16 Закона о биржах, представленный в апреле 2023 года. Он предлагал расширить определение «биржи», чтобы распространить «традиционное» регулирование на децентрализованные платформы. Инициатива вызвала критику со стороны представителей отрасли.
«Единственный способ выработать жизнеспособный подход к регулированию DeFi — это отозвать предложенные поправки и начать с нуля: с уведомления о разработке правил, которое ясно изложит регуляторную позицию после реального диалога с индустрией», — заявили тогда эксперты Paradigm.
Генслер возглавлял SEC с 2021 года до начала 2025. Его политика «регулирования через правоприменение» нередко вызывала всеобщую критику и создавала неопределенность для криптоиндустрии. $BTC $ETH $BNB

Disney and Universal have accused the AI startup for generating images Midjourney of stealing and copying characters owned by the film studios.
"Midjourney is a typical copyright infringer and an endless pit of plagiarism," reads the lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.
Plagiarism by generative AI is described in the lawsuit as a problem that "threatens to overturn the fundamental principles of American copyright law that define the U.S. leadership in film, television, and other forms of creative arts."
The corporations are demanding damages from Midjourney but did not specify an exact amount. Additionally, the court is asked to prohibit the AI company from "offering its future video service without appropriate copyright protections."
🔴 Apparently, everyone who wrote prompts in the style of "fantastic old female storyteller, head, close up character design, multiple concept designs, concept design sheet, white background, style of Disney" will become an accomplice. $BTC
