BitGo Adds a Quantum Risk Score for Bitcoin WalletsBitGo rolled out quantum risk controls for Bitcoin wallets, led by a Quantum Risk Score that flags which addresses have public keys already exposed on-chain.
Exposed public keys are the weak point a future quantum computer could target. Alongside guided address remediation and safer UTXO defaults, the score lets institutions migrate funds before any such threat exists. BitGo is among the first major custodians to ship these tools.
Glassnode estimates about 6.04M BTC, roughly 30% of supply, already sits at addresses with exposed public keys, though no practical quantum attack is possible today.

Kalshi and Blanket Bring Hedging to Small BusinessesKalshi teamed up with Blanket, an AI tool built by economist Lauris Zminsky, that helps small businesses hedge real-world risks using its prediction markets.
Describe a risk like a hurricane, a fuel-price spike or an unusually warm winter, and Blanket's AI surfaces Kalshi yes/no markets that could offset the loss. Blanket only recommends contracts and never executes trades or holds funds. It is independent, and Zminsky does not work for Kalshi.
It is framed as an insurance alternative for bars, brands and other small firms long priced out of institutional-grade hedging.

Bitget launches $300M fund to back quant firmsBitget Institutional has rolled out Project Archimedes, a $300M capital program aimed at quantitative trading firms, asset managers and market makers.
The money splits into two tracks. A $100M Capital Provider Program funds emerging quant firms running market-neutral strategies, with returns shared under an agreed structure. A $200M Interest-Free Lending Program gives established institutions interest-free capital once they meet set trading-volume or position requirements, cutting their funding costs. Eligible firms first pass strategy assessment, due diligence and drawdown reviews.
CEO Gracy Chen said the aim is to back more than 50 teams over the next six months, as tightening arbitrage returns push quants toward basis spreads, funding-rate gaps and tokenized-stock strategies that Bitget's unified account lets them collateralize in one place.

Solana RWA Ecosystem: Third in Size, First in TradingEveryone argues who leads RWA. By total value it is still Ethereum. But tokenized stocks tell a different story.
Solana holds just 23% of tokenized-stock market cap, yet settles 95-97% of all on-chain trading volume. Others hold the shares. Solana trades them.
The whole Solana RWA market is up 6.8x in a year to $2.35B, led by BlackRock's BUIDL, with a wild mix from tokenized T-Bills to collectible cards.

River AI Raises $1.1B to Build a Personal AI StackRiver AI, the two-month-old startup from xAI co-founder Igor Babuschkin, raised $1.1B across seed and Series A, one of the largest rounds for any company founded this year.
The round was led by General Catalyst and AMP, with strategic checks from Nvidia and AMD plus Y Combinator and Temasek. River is building personalized AI that users and organizations own and control, and says its API runs reinforcement-learning training two to four times cheaper than closed rivals.
With no valuation disclosed, the raise is a bet that open, user-owned models can challenge the closed-source AI giants.

ENS Foundation Takes Over Its $65M EndowmentENS tokenholders approved the Next Era of ENS DAO proposal with about 70% support, putting the $65M endowment under a newly operational ENS Foundation with a five-member board, an executive director and staff.
The DAO keeps its 54.6% token majority and authority over the protocol, but the Foundation can now do what a purely decentralized body cannot: engage institutions like ICANN and defend ENS trademarks. The endowment is funded from .eth registration fees.
The revamp lands after a governance fight, when ENS Labs CEO Nick Johnson self-delegated 3.26M tokens to block a Security Council renewal, a move critics called a governance attack.

Harmony Protocol Exploited as Attacker Mints 4B ONE TokensAn attacker minted bout 26% of supply, inflating the token count from around 15B to 19B and sending ONE down 38%.
Harmony asked exchanges to freeze funds tied to four wallets, paused its token bridge, and said it is working on a patch and rollback options. The team has not yet explained how the attacker was able to mint the tokens.
It stirs memories of Harmony's 2022 Horizon bridge hack, a roughly $100M theft the FBI attributed to North Korea's Lazarus Group, plus a 2023 staking bug that mis-minted 146M ONE.
