Summary Bitcoin developers introduced BIP 360, the network’s first quantum-resistant address proposal, as part of a long-term plan to protect funds from future quantum computing threats.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP have all moved…

boss

Bitcoin (BTC) starts the second week of June with damage control — and new macro lows are still expected this year. Traders see a relief bounce coming next for BTC price action, but the bottom, they agree, is not in. US inflation data will test markets’ resolve as the US-Iran war drags on. Peace-deal pledges by US President Donald Trump do little to stabilize the risk-asset picture. Multiple onchain indicators give analysts hope that the worst of the sell-off is over. Crypto sentiment dives to some of its lowest levels on…
