Privacy is having a moment in crypto. As competition heats up, the pitfalls of the technology around the quantum threat, regulatory risk and more make the trajectory hard to predict. A counterfeit bug sat undetected in Zcash's Orchard privacy pool for four years, capable of minting an unlimited supply of untraceable coins, illustrating the risks of one of the hottest crazes in crypto. Joe Andrews, CEO of Aztec Labs, Jarrad Hope, founder of Logos, and Mert Mumtaz, cofounder and CEO of Helius, join Laura Shin to argue the bug is less alarming than what it reveals: cryptographic privacy is difficult to get right, and the industry is racing to get it right anyway, because institutions will not come onchain without it. They cover Zcash's quantum-recoverable Ironwood upgrade and the turnstile proving the counterfeit coins never moved, Ethereum's sprawling privacy roadmap and the risk it arrives too late, Logos' mixnet built to protect validators from block relays now censoring transactions, and why all three see Canton's private stablecoins as little more than a bank with extra steps. The fight over what actually counts as privacy on a blockchain is only getting started.

In this episode of The Milk Road Show, we sit down with Mike Silagadze, CEO of EtherFi, to explore why the future of crypto may have less to do with speculation and more to do with banking. EtherFi started as one of Ethereum's largest liquid staking protocols, but it's now evolving into a full crypto neobank, offering staking, spending, borrowing, and yield products built entirely onchain.~~~~~⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Bitcoin staat deze week op ongeveer 64.000 dollar, omgerekend 55.700 euro, ruim 3 procent lager dan een week eerder. Ethereum houdt rond de 1.900 dollar stand. De daling kwam vooral door de Federal Reserve, die voor de vijfde keer op rij de rente op 3,50 tot 3,75 procent hield, met een van de meest verdeelde stemmingen in jaren: drie stemmers wilden juist een verhoging. De Amerikaanse dertigjaarsrente steeg naar boven de 5,2 procent, het hoogste niveau sinds 2007, en de Dow Jones verloor ruim duizend punten. Ook opgelopen spanningen met Iran en een hogere olieprijs zorgden voor onrust op de markten. Negen grote partijen, waaronder BlackRock, Coinbase, Fidelity, Strategy en Block, richtten deze week het Bitcoin Security Consortium op: samen 15 miljoen dollar over drie jaar voor onderzoek naar de langetermijnbeveiliging van bitcoin. De grootste zorg is quantumcomputing, dat ooit de geheime sleutel achter een bitcoinadres zou kunnen kraken. Volgens ARK Invest staat ongeveer 35 procent van alle bitcoin op adressen die daarvoor kwetsbaar zijn, en onderzoekers van Project Eleven denken dat dit moment, Q Day genoemd, al in 2029 kan aanbreken. Het consortium belooft geen codewijzigingen te forceren, al bestaat er wantrouwen over wie de ontwikkelaars financiert. Hoe reëel die dreiging is, bleek deze week uit ander nieuws. Het bedrijf achter chatbot Claude, Anthropic, zette een onuitgebrachte versie van zijn krachtigste model in op cryptografisch onderzoek en vond een nieuwe aanval op HAWK, een digitale handtekening die quantumcomputers moet weerstaan. Daardoor werd het kraken van de kleinste sleutelvariant ruwweg 67 miljoen keer eenvoudiger, tegen tientallen uren rekentijd en ongeveer 100.000 dollar aan tokens. Een reparatie is mogelijk met grotere sleutels, maar daarmee verdwijnt de compactheid waarvoor HAWK juist was bedacht. Bitcoin draait nog op bestaande cryptografie en loopt dus geen risico, maar AI blijkt de nieuwe sloten alvast te kunnen kraken. Deze week in de Cryptocast Een gesprek met Lars Heerink, oprichter en fondsmanager van Blockcentral. Met hem kijken we naar de altcoinmarkt van de toekomst: is die er nog wel?

Congress goes on recess next Friday and the Clarity Act still has not been voted on by the Senate. Charles Schwab's Nathan Peterson puts passage of the bill before then at a coin flip's chance and offers his expectations on what changes it will bring to Bitcoin and the greater crypto space. Sticking to regulation headlines, Nate explains what a change to the crypto wash sale means for crypto owners. He then turns to technical analysis for Bitcoin and Ethereum as both show signs of "relative strength." ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Lars Heerink richtte in 2024 BlockCentral op, een Nederlands fonds dat belegt in altcoins, oftewel alle cryptomunten die geen bitcoin zijn. Wie wil instappen legt minimaal een ton in. Vorige maand werd het fonds uitgeroepen tot beste cryptofonds van Nederland, een titel waarover Heerink zelf mocht meestemmen. Dat deed hij ook. Op de eigen website staat het onomwonden: outperform, proven. BlockCentral heeft bitcoin verslagen sinds de start in augustus 2024, precies de periode waarin bitcoin bijna elke andere belegging achter zich liet. Voor een altcoinfonds was dat op papier de slechtst denkbare timing om te beginnen. Het onderscheidend vermogen zit volgens Heerink niet in de muntkeuze maar in de timing. Yield binnenhalen tijdens een bearmarkt, acht tot tien procent, instappen rond bodemvorming en het risico opvoeren richting een altseason. Daarmee is bitcoin een wankele maatstaf, en lijkt BlockCentral eerder een timingfonds dat toevallig in altcoins zit dan een altcoinfonds. Een strategie die zo helder te beschrijven is, valt in principe ook te kopiëren, met een team van twee man dat erachter zit. Ondertussen hapert de klassieke doorstroom van bitcoinwinst naar kleinere munten. Nieuw geld komt binnen via ETF's, en die kopen geen governance tokens. Tokenomist onderzocht 236 momenten waarop nieuwe tokens vrijkwamen en zag dat bijna driekwart daarvan een maand later lager stond tegenover bitcoin. Van de tienduizenden tokens die inmiddels bestaan blijft dan een smalle groep over die het woord belegging verdient. Wat er wel in de portefeuille zat: getokeniseerde Pokémonkaarten, een van de klappers van de afgelopen twee jaar. En het geld dat nu naar tokenisering van aandelen en andere echte activa stroomt, komt vooral terecht bij bitcoin, ethereum en een handvol grote namen. De constructie eromheen is lichter dan de term AFM-geregistreerd cryptofonds suggereert. Registratie onder het AIFMD lightregime is geen vergunning en levert geen doorlopend toezicht op, waardoor een belegger een aantal beschermingen mist die bij een fonds met volledige vergunning wel gelden. Pas boven honderd miljoen euro beheerd vermogen wordt een AIFM-vergunning verplicht, en zolang die grens niet in zicht is ziet Heerink er geen reden voor. Dat laat de sleutels van de munten over aan het fonds zelf, met alle vragen over hacks en faillissement die daarbij horen. En de flashcrash van 10 oktober was voor de man aan de knoppen geen abstractie. Co-host is Raoul Esseboom. Over de podcast Cryptocurrency are here to stay.

Het Witte Huis presenteerde afgelopen week een aangescherpte versie van de Clarity Act, de Amerikaanse wet die moet vastleggen wie in de Verenigde Staten de baas is over crypto: toezichthouder SEC voor effecten, of de CFTC voor grondstoffen en derivaten. Nieuw is een ethiekhoofdstuk van zes artikelen dat de president, de vicepresident, Congresleden, federale rechters en hun echtgenoten verbiedt om tijdens hun ambtstermijn tegen betaling tokens uit te geven of te sponsoren. Bestaande cryptobelangen moeten binnen een jaar worden verkocht of naar een blind trust verhuizen, en beurzen mogen tokens die onder dat verbod vallen niet listen. Toch zit er ruimte in de tekst. Het verbod gaat over uitgeven en sponsoren, niet over bezitten, en een clausule staat uitgevers toe de gelijkenis van een politicus te blijven gebruiken als de token al vóór het aantreden bestond. De TRUMP-coin verscheen drie dagen voor de beëdiging. Kinderen van politici vallen er evenmin onder, terwijl Donald Trump Jr. en Eric Trump betrokken zijn bij World Liberty Financial. Bovendien vervalt het hele pakket op 20 januari 2029, en daarna kunnen ook oudere overtredingen niet meer worden vervolgd. Dat verklaart waarom zeven Democratische senatoren het concept alsnog te mager vinden op ethiek, illegale geldstromen en belangenverstrengeling. Onder hen Angela Alsobrooks en Ruben Gallego, precies de twee die in mei in de commissie vóór stemden. Meerderheidsleider John Thune verwacht niet dat de wet vóór het zomerreces van 10 augustus af is, terwijl minister van Financiën Scott Bessent en cryptoadviseur Patrick Witt de eerste week van augustus nog kansrijk noemen. Handelaren op Polymarket schatten de kans op ondertekening dit jaar op ongeveer 43 procent. Tim Stolte, portfoliomanager bij Amdax en host van de podcast Een Nieuwe Koers, kijkt naar een markt die er in de zomervakantie stabiel bij ligt en steeds een beetje hoger kruipt. Deze week staat ook het rentebesluit van de Amerikaanse centrale bank op het programma. Banken en bedrijven trekken ondertussen miljoenen uit om bitcoin te beschermen tegen quantumcomputers. Bitcoin bewijst eigendom met cryptografie op basis van elliptische curves, en een voldoende krachtige quantumcomputer kan die stap omdraaien: van publieke sleutel terug naar geheime sleutel. Project Eleven schat dat zo'n 6,9 miljoen bitcoin in adressen zit waarvan de publieke sleutel al zichtbaar op de blockchain staat. Over de urgentie lopen de schattingen ver uiteen, van drie tot vijf jaar voorbereidingstijd in een rapport van Bernstein tot twintig tot veertig jaar volgens Adam Back van Blockstream. Aan oplossingen wordt gewerkt. BIP-360 introduceerde in februari een adrestype dat het kwetsbare onderdeel weghaalt, en BIP-361 gaat verder: kwetsbare munten migreren en na vijf jaar bevriezen, waaronder naar schatting 1,7 miljoen bitcoin in oeroude adressen waarvan zo'n miljoen vermoedelijk van Satoshi Nakamoto is. Galaxy stelt tot vijf miljoen dollar beschikbaar voor quantumbestendige handtekeningen, migratietools en audits. Negen partijen zetten daarnaast vijftien miljoen dollar over drie jaar in via het Bitcoin Security Consortium, gecoördineerd door Mike Schmidt van Brink, dat expliciet vastlegt zich niet met het protocol te bemoeien.

Has crude oil finally returned to fair value after one of the year's biggest geopolitical shocks? This week on The Futures Rundown, Mark Longo welcomes back Morad Askar of EdgeClear to examine why crude oil has retraced nearly its entire Iran-driven rally and what "returning to the scene of the crime" means from a market profile perspective. They also dive into the hottest futures markets, from energy and grains to metals, crypto, and equity indexes. The discussion covers whether today's volatility is creating opportunity or chaos, why retail traders continue to dominate Nasdaq Micro futures, and what the return of single-stock futures could mean for active traders. In this episode: Why crude oil has returned to its pre-war equilibrium WTI, Brent and the outlook for energy markets Gold, silver and whether precious metals have finally found fair value Coffee, cocoa, cattle and the surprising commodity landscape Why Nasdaq Micro futures continue to dominate trading volume Retail traders, prop firms and index futures activity Bitcoin, Ethereum and crypto futures trends The return of CME single-stock futures and why traders should pay attention

Andrey Didovskiy is the CEO of Seasons, a Solana DeFi protocol built around a Yield 3.0 mechanism which pays holders real assets, gold, Bitcoin and dollars, funded by trading activity. A near-decade crypto veteran who broke into the industry writing white papers before running Atleta Network and co-founding the consultancy SYSDK, Andrey brings an operator's eye to a key problem in decentralized finance: yield that vanishes when prices turn. Why you should listen Most DeFi headline rates are a bull-market illusion. A "100% APY" advertised on a token that then falls eighty percent is worth almost nothing, because the yield was tied to price all along. Seasons flips that dependency. As Andrey explains, the protocol harvests a ten percent Transactional Transfer Tax on every $SEAS trade and converts it into a basket of hard assets paid directly to holders — no staking, no lock-ups, nothing to claim. Hold enough $SEAS in a self-custody wallet and you become a "node," and gold, Bitcoin and dollars simply arrive twice a week. Because the engine runs on volume and velocity rather than sentiment, it keeps working whether the market is climbing or bleeding — a design Andrey frames as turning your wallet into something closer to a savings account. Crypto has always moved in seasons, and so does Seasons the protocol, packaging its evolution into discrete chapters. Season one paid out in memecoins, and Andrey is candid that the community verdict was swift: the people who actually want yield do not want meme yield. Season two corrected course to what the team calls "perfect order" — a basket of Tether Gold, Wormhole-wrapped Bitcoin and Jupiter Lend USDC — assets a saver might happily hold for years. Under the hood, the roadmap layers three compounding engines: the live TTT, a Stakeholder Stablecoin Yield Module that puts queued distributions to work in transit, and Yield Asset Vaults, the first of which is slated to deploy on Kamino. Recent distributions have hovered around ten percent, with the team steering toward a sustainable double-digit band rather than the fleeting ninety-percent spikes that briefly followed launch. Solana is the foundation by conviction, not accident — Andrey sees it as one of a handful of settlement layers where the coming agentic economy will actually live, though he's careful not to write off Ethereum's next act. The bigger bet is that the winning move is to hide the blockchain entirely: strip out the jargon, and let a "put your idle assets to work" button sit quietly inside a Robinhood or Coinbase account. That thesis runs all the way to machines, with Seasons' first AI agent, Gaia, now public and a ten-year vision of a million autonomous "agent loans" and on-chain credit that finally functions. In the hot-take round he lands as a mild Bitcoin-leaning multichain pragmatist, argues that blockchain becomes the priceless trust-and-security layer beneath AI, flags longevity as the most unevenly distributed piece of the future. His closing pitch is the one that sticks: treat a node as infinite dollar-cost averaging, spend only the yield, and you keep stacking Bitcoin for as long as you hold.

In today's episode, we break down the launch of Ethlabs and its ambitious mission to position Ethereum and ETH as the root of the global economy. Ansgar Dietrichs, Barnabe Monnot, and Julian Ma explain how Ethlabs operates alongside the Ethereum Foundation as a new nonprofit R&D hub, why upcoming protocol improvements like fast confirmation rules and shorter slot times will dramatically boost network speed and UX, and how new Layer 2s - like Robinhood Chain - help drive massive user distribution and long-term value back to the ETH asset. ~~~~~⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week's episode dives into the shifting macroeconomic landscape, analyzing how geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and fluctuating oil prices are impacting both equities and crypto markets. Despite short-term volatility, institutional buying continues to drive strength across major tech earnings, while regulatory milestones like the Crypto Clarity Act set the stage for massive institutional adoption, particularly for assets like Ethereum.Beyond the stock and crypto markets, smart money is rotating back into commercial real estate as transaction volumes rebound 26 percent year-over-year. As retail investors exit struggling syndications, well-capitalized funds are deploying dry powder to acquire distressed assets, signaling a powerful wealth-building opportunity for operators ready to capitalize on market capitulation and emerging value plays.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDGeopolitical impacts on market volatility and oil pricesS&P 500 earnings season expectations for major tech companiesSpaceX valuation drops and the future of trillion-dollar IPOsThe Crypto Clarity Act and the push for digital asset regulationInstitutional capital flowing into Ethereum over BitcoinCommercial real estate transaction volumes rebounding 26 percentSmart money acquiring distressed retail syndication assetsThe rise of educational finance influencers in modern mediaKEY TAKEAWAYSStaying fully invested during volatile periods is critical, as missing just a few of the best trading days can severely diminish long-term portfolio returns.The Crypto Clarity Act will likely flush out thousands of useless meme coins while funneling institutional trillions into established utility networks like Ethereum.Real estate investors must transition from a buy-and-hold mindset into an operator mindset to drive income and reduce expenses in a higher-rate environment.Commercial real estate is seeing a 26 percent increase in transactional volume as frustrated retail investors capitulate and smart money steps in to buy at market value.Wealth generation requires holding equity in real assets or businesses, as it is becoming mathematically impossible to out-earn inflation by simply selling your time.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONImagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.

Cap's founders on shrinking their Stabledrop from $11M to $4M — plus a $23M hack traced toward North Korea, a BarnBridge governance exploit, and Kain's case to force weak L2s to become their own L1s. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsors! ⁠⁠⁠Cape⁠⁠: Your biggest crypto vulnerability isn't your wallet, it's your phone number.

Get 33% off your first six months at ⁠https://cape.co/unchained⁠ (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== Cap committed to a roughly 11 million dollar Stabledrop in February, promising early users stablecoins instead of tokens. A delayed token sale raised less than hoped, and the reward shrank to about 4 million, forcing a fast rewrite of who got paid. Benjamin Sarquis Peillard, Founder and CEO of Cap, and Weso of Cap join Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan to walk through a restructuring that made yield-token holders whole, left farmers without a windfall, and argue points programs are an uncapped marketing expense many projects cannot afford. The conversation widens into EthSystems, a new Ethereum Foundation spinout backed by Joe Lubin, SharpLink and BitMine, Jesse Pollak handing Base product leadership to Cobie, Robinhood Chain's Morpho integration, and whether Ethereum mainnet undercharges L2s. They revisit BarnBridge's SEC-era DAO structure, a dormant governance exploit, a MetaMask and Revoke.cash delegation tool, and a 23 million dollar Ostium hack Taylor traced toward North Korea. Kain closes with a Three Mile Island analogy: complex systems fail not from one mistake, but from small shortcuts compounding at once.
