Report Shows Most Crypto is Owned in the US

Chainalysis’ seventh annual Geography of Crypto report describes a crypto market that behaved very differently from previous downturns during the year ending June 2026. Bitcoin reached a record price before suffering its deepest dollar decline, dropping $67,000 between its high and subsequent low.

Chainalysis measures this economy through service activity, domestic transfers, and international transactions. The combined figure slipped from $9.50 trillion to about $9.40 trillion, a 1.6% decline. That performance contrasts with the 2023 market. During that time, cryptocurrency economic activity declined 23%, equivalent to $1.20 trillion,…

Ethereum Aims to be Quantum-Ready by 2029

Ethereum’s development roadmap is placing greater emphasis on preparing the network for advances in quantum computing, with the Ethereum Foundation’s Protocol team targeting a fully post-quantum Layer 1 by the end of 2029. The target was outlined in the Foundation’s September priorities update and discussed again during a Protocol AMA on September 16 on Reddit. The plan covers data-availability components, consensus, and execution. However, developers stressed that several technologies under discussion remain proposals rather than approved protocol changes. The Foundation is treating the potential arrival of a cryptographically capable quantum computer by 2030 as a deliberately cautious planning scenario. It…

Investors Make Fourth Attempt to Delay Crypto Tax in South Korea

South Korea is facing renewed calls to postpone its planned crypto tax, despite the government maintaining that the levy will take effect as scheduled at the beginning of 2027.

The rate consists of a 20% national tax and an additional 2% local levy. The rules are intended to cover gains generated through activities including the sale, transfer and lending of virtual assets. The introduction of the measure has already been delayed on three occasions since…

Crypto Billionaire Donates $49M to Reform UK Party

Crypto entrepreneur Ben Delo has donated $49 million to Reform UK, marking what is believed to be the biggest political donation ever made to a British party by a living individual.

He added that he wanted British politics to offer voters a genuine contest rather than…
