The post Quantum-Proof Wallets: Crypto Firms Race to Secure Digital Assets Ahead of Protocol Upgrades appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TLDR: Crypto firms are upgrading wallets to post-quantum MPC signatures before blockchain protocols make the same shift. NIST-approved algorithms like ML-DSA are being evaluated for distributed signing compatibility across wallet systems. Institutions with existing MPC infrastructure can migrate to quantum-resistant wallets through a simple code upgrade. Wallet-level upgrades alone cannot fully protect users if underlying blockchain networks do not follow with protocol changes. Quantum-proof wallets are becoming a priority for crypto companies as the threat of quantum computing draws closer. Firms are now upgrading their wallet infrastructure faster than blockchain networks can update their core protocols. The concern stems from estimates suggesting a “Q-Day” scenario could arrive as early as 2030. One recent report by Project Eleven warns that quan

Grayscale outlined why it believes the CLARITY Act matters for crypto regulation and how the bill could affect digital asset markets. The firm said the proposal could shift oversight away from enforcement-led regulation and toward clearer rules for regulators, developers and investors.

Crypto companies are upgrading wallets to counter the coming quantum computing threat, but gaps remain.
The Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI), a division of the US Department of Commerce, has signed agreements with Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI that would give the agency the ability to vet AI models from these organizations and others prior to their being made publicly available. According to a release from CAISI, which is part of the department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), it will “conduct pre-deployment evaluations and targeted research to better assess frontier AI capabilities and advance the state of AI security.” The three join Anthropic and OpenAI, which signed similar agreements almost two years ago during the Biden administration, when CAISI was known as the US Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute. An August 2024 release about those agreements indicated that the institute planned to provide feedback to both companies on “potential safety improvements to their models, in close collaboration with its partners at the UK AI Safety In
An EO requiring pre-deployment review of frontier AI models would likely increase the workload at NIST's Center for AI Standards and Innovation.
The payments giant will fold PYUSD, Braintree, and merchant processing into a new Payment Services & Crypto division, marking the first time digital assets have a dedicated home within the company.
The bank's digital assets team argues the post-Kelp coalition response and structural fixes around bridges leave DeFi stronger, not weaker, ahead of the Ethereum Economic Zone going live this summer.
CertiK says digital asset regulation has shifted into an enforceable phase across major markets. AML compliance, stablecoin reserves and smart contract audits are now becoming core requirements for crypto firms. CertiK’s latest global report lands with a fairly blunt message: crypto regulation is no longer a waiting game. It is here, it is enforceable, and [...]
