According to Lookonchain, over the past 7 days (as of May 26), the amount of USDT and USDC stablecoins on the Tron network surged by $913 million, while Solana experienced an outflow of $267 million, following a previous outflow of $1.38 billion the week before.
The inflow into Tron reflects its growing role as a stablecoin settlement layer, thanks to low fees and high transaction speed (over 2 billion transactions annually). Meanwhile, Solana faces challenges such as declining DeFi yields and recent bridge issues.
Tron currently handles over $10 trillion in stablecoin volume annually, surpassing Visa in some months. The outflows from Solana are seen by some traders as a signal to short SOL/USDT.
HUMA Surges 530% After Binance Launchpool Debut, Trading Volume Soars Past $400 Million
Huma Finance (HUMA) is currently trading at $0.06306 with a 24-hour trading volume of approximately $409–$441 million and a market capitalization ranging from $114.77 million to $123.29 million, reflecting significant liquidity and high trading activity since its launch. The token price surged by 530.60% over the past 24 hours, primarily driven by its recent debut on Binance as the 70th Launchpool project, the conclusion of its Launchpool farming period, and the start of spot trading, which generated substantial market interest and demand for HUMA tokens. The initial circulation of 1.73 billion tokens (17.33% of total supply) and active participation in Binance’s airdrop and flexible product offerings further contributed to heightened trading volumes and price volatility following the token generation event and listing.
$ETH Crypto Lending Platform Ledn Transitions to Bitcoin-Only Loan Model, Discontinuing ETH and Growth Accounts
Ledn, a crypto lending platform, has announced a strategic shift to become a bitcoin-only company effective July 1, 2025, discontinuing support for ethereum ( ETH) and focusing exclusively on bitcoin-backed loans.
This decision is explained to be driven by the company’s commitment to providing a safer and simpler financial service for bitcoin holders, emphasizing client security and transparency.
Ledn will retire its BTC and ETH Growth Accounts and will no longer engage in institutional lending of client collateral, ensuring that client assets are not exposed to additional risks. The platform aims to enhance user experience by offering better collateral control and competitive loan rates, with the current Custodied loan rate decreasing from 14.9% APR to 12.9% APR. Ledn’s leadership believes these changes will strengthen their position in the market and improve the overall bitcoin-backed lending experience for clients.
Google slashes quantum resources needed to break RSA by 20x, Bitcoin faces earlier threat
Google has released new research showing that breaking RSA encryption—the backbone of banking and Bitcoin wallet security—now requires 20 times fewer quantum resources than previously estimated. Instead of 20 million qubits as estimated in 2019, it may now only take under 1 million noisy qubits to crack a 2048-bit RSA key in less than a week.
Although the most powerful quantum computer today—IBM’s Condor—only has 1,121 qubits, the pace of development is accelerating. This puts Bitcoin at increased risk, since it uses elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), which is also vulnerable to quantum attacks via Shor’s algorithm.
Google attributes the breakthrough to faster algorithms and smarter error correction techniques. The research team also utilized "magic state cultivation" to boost computational efficiency without needing extra quantum resources.
While powerful quantum machines remain a future prospect, projects like Solana and Ethereum are already developing quantum-resistant solutions. A hard fork to protect Bitcoin may happen before any real-world quantum hacks occur.
