The Ethereum Foundation has placed post-quantum security at the center of its roadmap for 2026, anticipating a threat that is not yet imminent, but is indeed inevitable: quantum computing. The priority will be to strengthen the cryptography that underpins Ethereum, especially the ECDSA scheme that protects private keys. With the implementation of EIP-7701 and native account abstraction, users will be able to migrate their funds to quantum-resistant signing methods seamlessly. Additionally, a specialized team is already testing new cryptographic standards, consolidating Ethereum as a network that does not wait for the crisis, but rather anticipates it.

While Bitcoin remains around $67,000, Arthur Hayes warns that the real risk is not in the chart, but in the banking system. The former CEO of BitMEX argues that the massive adoption of artificial intelligence could lead to up to $557 billion in defaults between consumer credit and mortgages in the U.S., particularly affecting regional banks. According to his thesis, the automation of "white-collar" jobs would trigger an initial phase of insolvency and liquidity contraction that would first hit risk assets.

The altcoin market is going through one of its most challenging moments in five years. On-chain data from CryptoQuant reveals that the selling pressure excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum has reached historical levels, with a cumulative outflow of $209 billion since 2020. There have been 13 consecutive months of net sales in the spot market, reflecting a strong rotation of capital and lower retail appetite. Although some XRP ETFs have recorded inflows, the overall underperformance of altcoins against BTC confirms that the market prioritizes liquidity and solidity in times of uncertainty.

is going through a critical moment according to the renowned on-chain analyst Willy Woo, who warns that the bearish trend of the digital asset is strengthening. With the cryptocurrency trading below 70,000 dollars, Woo points out that the increasing volatility and decreasing liquidity mark the initial phase of a bear market, in which eternal bulls might underestimate the magnitude of the correction. This analysis is supported by three historical phases of BTC bear cycles, where we currently find ourselves in the transition from phase 1 to phase 2, anticipating broader declines that could reflect in correlation with other risk assets such as tech stocks.

is undergoing a historic transformation in its property map. According to River Financial, during 2025, the largest redistribution of BTC in its history was recorded: 696,000 coins left retail wallets and were absorbed by companies and ETFs, consolidating institutions as new strategic custodians of the digital asset. While individuals continue to dominate the supply, institutional participation reached approximately 16% of the circulating supply, evidencing a paradigm shift: Bitcoin is no longer just an asset for individual believers, but a global financial tool that integrates corporate balances and state reserves.

the digital asset that for over a decade outperformed gold in relative returns now faces a decisive moment. The renowned analyst Willy Woo claims that the historical 12-year bullish trend against the precious metal may have come to an end, partly due to the increasing attention on quantum computing and its potential impact on cryptographic security. According to Woo, the market is already pricing in this risk, especially given the possibility that up to 4 million lost BTC could circulate again if old private keys were compromised in the future. This scenario, although still theoretical, introduces a new variable in the asset's valuation and redefines the behavior of institutional investors and whales.

The rise of tools like

is driving a new generation of artificial intelligence bots capable of operating in predictive markets like Polymarket with unprecedented speed and accuracy. These agents analyze real-time data, detect volatility patterns, and execute automated decisions in seconds, eliminating the emotional factor of trading. For many investors, this technology represents a significant competitive advantage in high-frequency markets, where speed and algorithmic analysis can make the difference between losses and gains.

The recent fall of

cannot be understood without observing the indirect impact of artificial intelligence on technology markets. The growing correlation between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq 100 reveals how the pressure on software stocks, affected by the disruption of AI and the fear of a tech bubble, is generating a domino effect. Many investors and technology developers, who own both stocks and BTC, are freeing up liquidity by selling their digital assets, reflecting an environment of greater caution and risk aversion in

$BTC enfrenta un momento crucial. Según Willy Woo, la tendencia bajista se fortalece mientras la volatilidad aumenta, reduciendo las probabilidades de una recuperación inmediata. La salida de 3.800 millones de dólares de fondos institucionales refleja cautela, mientras el mercado mantiene una capitalización cercana a los 2.34 billones. Sin embargo, esta estabilidad también puede interpretarse como una fase de consolidación estratégica, donde inversores experimentados observan con atención el próximo catalizador que definirá el rumbo del mercado.

Al mismo tiempo, Bitcoin entra en una etapa de “adultez”, impulsada por la creciente participación institucional, lo que valida su adopción global, pero abre debates sobre la descentralización. La innovación continúa: el uso de oro tokenizado mediante xAUT marca un hito histórico, mientras el fallo de un contrato inteligente creado por IA recuerda que la supervisión humana sigue siendo esencial. En este nuevo ciclo, la combinación de tecnología, confianza e institucionalización definirá a los próximos líderes del ecosistema cripto.

The use of

as collateral to access liquidity without selling the asset is redefining wealth management in the digital age. This mechanism allows investors to obtain fiat money or stablecoins while maintaining their exposure to a scarce asset with high appreciation potential. For many traders, it's not about 'borrowing', but about optimizing capital, preserving position, and avoiding missed future opportunities in a market driven by scarcity and increasing adoption.

The market of

is going through one of its most emotionally tense moments in years. With the fear and greed index falling to historically low levels, the sentiment reflects a clear loss of bullish conviction among investors. However, in previous cycles, these periods of extreme fear not only marked phases of uncertainty but also the silent beginning of new opportunities. When the market moves by emotions, strategic investors watch closely, aware that cycle changes often begin when consensus loses confidence.

The founder of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, has raised a critical issue for the future of the crypto ecosystem: privacy. Although networks like Bitcoin were designed under the concept of pseudonymity, the traceability of transactions and the integration with platforms that apply KYC have significantly reduced actual anonymity. CZ warns that this transparency, while strengthening trust and verification, also exposes users and companies to financial and security risks, limiting the use of cryptocurrencies as a daily payment method on a global scale.

returns to the center of global strategic analysis. According to the exchange

the recent drop of over 40% from its all-time high of $126,000 does not reflect a structural collapse, but rather a correction driven by market flows, similar to that observed in 2021 before a new high. Key indicators such as implied volatility close to 50%, the implied/realized volatility ratio below 1, and a moderate put-call bias suggest that the positioning in derivatives does not anticipate a crypto winter. This behavior reveals that institutional traders maintain relatively stable expectations, with no signs of extreme panic.

The crypto market awakens this February 16 with signals that no trader can ignore. On-chain analyst Willy Woo warns that Bitcoin may have broken its historical upward trend against gold after more than a decade, pointing to quantum computing as a structural risk. At the same time, data from CryptoQuant shows that the fear and greed index reaches cycle highs, reflecting euphoria with low conviction. This is compounded by a growing wave of physical attacks against bitcoiners in France, raising the debate on security and custody amid the ecosystem's full maturity.

proposes a pioneering strategy to protect bitcoins against the threat of quantum computing, which could derive private keys and put stored funds at risk in vulnerable addresses. The initiative aims to temporarily freeze the

exposed, preventing them from being spent until their owners demonstrate control through secure mechanisms, from cryptographic commitments to zero-knowledge proofs (ZK-Proofs). This preventive measure combines advanced security with flexibility, allowing users to safeguard their assets without losing long-term access.

After weeks of uncertainty

shows signs of recovery thanks to a key move by institutional investors: spot bitcoin ETFs in the United States recorded consecutive capital inflows for the first time since January 15. This steady flow, which included 371 million dollars on Friday, February 6, and 145 million on Monday, February 9, has had a direct impact on the market, driving the price of BTC from 60,000 to over 72,000 dollars in a matter of days. The correlation between ETF activity and the bitcoin quotation makes it clear that institutional appetite can be a decisive engine in the recovery of the cryptocurrency.

it has remained for the fifth consecutive day around 2,000 dollars, balancing between historical supports and selling pressure in the cryptocurrency markets. This stability occurs in correlation with

which recently rebounded from 60,000 dollars to surpass 70,000, although ETH's performance remains weaker. With a retracement of 60% from its historical maximum of 4,900 dollars and a macroeconomic context marked by uncertainty and risk aversion, the cryptocurrency is in a critical zone that could define its next direction: consolidation, correction, or a deeper pullback.

The BIP-110 proposal has sparked one of the most significant debates in the evolution of Bitcoin: should the network remain a purely monetary system or continue allowing broader uses such as NFTs, tokens, and data inscriptions? This soft fork proposal aims to restrict the storage of non-financial information, prioritizing efficiency, decentralization, and the use of

as digital money. Its approach targets reducing the use of block space for arbitrary data, freeing up capacity for financial transactions and decreasing the operational costs of nodes, a key factor for the security and sustainability of the network in the long term.

The mining company

surprised the market after selling 4,451 BTC, more than half of its reserves, raising approximately 305 million dollars to finance its expansion into the artificial intelligence sector. This strategic decision aims to strengthen its balance sheet, reduce leverage, and position itself in a market with more predictable revenues. Instead of relying solely on the inherent volatility of Bitcoin mining, the company plans to leverage its existing infrastructure to offer high-performance computing services, including GPU leasing and support for AI model training, a sector that currently concentrates a growing global demand.

This Tuesday, February 10th, the cryptocurrency market is trying to regain stability after the recent bearish pressure that led to

towards the zone of USD 60,000. This movement was driven by a challenging macroeconomic environment, marked by global risk aversion due to threats of new trade tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and a strengthened dollar. As a result, investors reduced exposure to high beta assets, causing a strong correlation between the crypto market and tech stocks, temporarily moving away from the safe-haven narrative.
