According to Odaily, AllianceDAO co-founder QwQiao expressed on the X platform that the belief that stablecoins and new payment systems could replace traditional card networks like Visa and Mastercard overlooks the fee distribution structure. In a $100 transaction with a $3 fee, approximately $1.8 is returned to consumers as cashback or points, $0.45 goes to the issuing bank, $0.6 to the acquiring bank, and only about $0.15 is retained by the card network. QwQiao highlighted that this structure creates a stable incentive relationship among consumers, banks, and card organizations within the same network. The costs are primarily borne by merchants, who have relatively weaker bargaining power, which is a key reason for the sustained scale effect of traditional card payment networks.#stablecoins #traditionalpayments #Visa #Mastercard #cardnetworks #paymentstructure #consumerincentives #merchants #AllianceDAO #QwQiao #fees

According to Odaily, Michael Saylor shared his views on Bitcoin Ordinals during an appearance on Gokhshtein Media's 'The Breakdown' program. Saylor emphasized that the stability of the Bitcoin protocol is its core value. He supports users' freedom to utilize the Bitcoin network for activities such as inscribing ordinals but firmly opposes altering the underlying protocol or adding new features for this purpose.
Saylor neither endorses the censorship of inscriptions nor advocates for protocol changes to promote their development. He believes that Bitcoin's fundamental value lies in its monetary integrity rather than additional functionalities. Saylor advocates for allowing the market to naturally determine the direction of development and stresses that the Bitcoin network should be inclusive of all types of users, ranging from government institutions to individual investors.#MichaelSaylor #BitcoinOrdinals #BitcoinProtocol #Cryptocurrency #Blockchain #ProtocolStability #BitcoinNetwork #DigitalCurrency #CryptocurrencyRegulation #MarketDevelopment #BTC

🚀 Ethereum's Expansion Set to Transform Transaction Processing by 2026
#Ethereum #scalability #transactionprocessing #blockchain #Glamsterdamfork #ZKproofs #Layer1 #Layer2 #ZKsync #crosschain #privacy #HezeBogota #fork #ETH
According to BlockBeats, Ethereum is poised for significant scalability advancements over the next year. By 2026, the network is expected to undergo the Glamsterdam fork, which will introduce nearly perfect parallel processing capabilities to the mainnet and significantly increase the Gas limit from the current 60 million to 200 million.
A substantial number of validators will shift from re-executing transactions to verifying zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs. This transition will set Ethereum Layer 1 on a path to potentially achieve scalability of 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) or higher, although this target will not be reached by 2026.
Additionally, data blocks will expand, potentially reaching 72 or more per block, enabling Layer 2 (L2) solutions to handle hundreds of thousands of transactions per second. L2 is becoming increasingly user-friendly; the recent Atlas upgrade by ZKsync allows funds to remain on the mainnet while transactions occur in the fast execution environment of the ZKsync elastic network.
The planned Ethereum interoperability layer aims to facilitate seamless cross-chain operations between L2s, with privacy becoming a central focus. The Heze-Bogota fork, scheduled for the end of the year, is targeted at enhancing censorship resistance.#Ethereum #scalability #transactionprocessing #blockchain #Glamsterdamfork #ZKproofs #Layer1 #Layer2 #ZKsync #crosschain #privacy #HezeBogota #fork #ETH

🚀 Quantum Computing's Potential Threat to Cryptocurrency by 2026 Remains Theoretical
#QuantumComputing #Cryptocurrency #QuantumThreat #BlockchainSecurity #Cryptography #Bitcoin #ECDSA #SHA256 #QuantumResistance #CryptoSecurity #Blockchain #DigitalSignature #QuantumComputingThreat #CryptoCommunity #QuantumLevelSecurity #HotWallets #AddressReuse #QuantumComputing2026 #FutureDecryption #Qastle #QuantumCryptography #BTC
According to Odaily, experts from Argentum AI and Coin Bureau have indicated that the threat posed by quantum computing to cryptocurrencies by 2026 remains largely theoretical rather than imminent. Clark Alexander, head of AI at Argentum AI, anticipates that the commercial application of quantum computing will be extremely limited by 2026. Nic Puckrin, co-founder of Coin Bureau, suggests that 90% of the quantum threat narrative is marketing-driven, and it will likely be at least a decade before computers capable of breaking current cryptographic systems emerge.
Despite this, experts acknowledge potential risks to public key cryptography, which underpins blockchain networks like Bitcoin. Sofiia Kireieva from Boosty Labs highlights that the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), used for private and public keys, is the weakest link, while the SHA-256 hash function is less vulnerable. Ahmad Shadid, founder of O Foundation, notes that address reuse significantly increases the risk of being compromised.
Currently, approximately 25% to 30% of BTC, or about 4 million coins, are stored in addresses with exposed public keys, making them more susceptible to quantum computer attacks. Sean Ren, co-founder of Sahara AI, warns that the real threat in 2026 is not system collapse but attackers collecting as much encrypted data as possible for future decryption when technology matures. Leo Fan, co-founder of Cysic, describes this as a "collect now, decrypt later" attack scenario.
In response to potential threats, the crypto community has taken proactive measures. In November, Qastle announced plans to upgrade underlying cryptography to provide quantum-level security for hot wallets. Experts advise users to avoid reusing addresses and to migrate funds to quantum-resistant wallets when available. While a quantum doomsday is not expected in 2026, quantum computing will become a significant risk factor in the field of crypto security.#QuantumComputing #Cryptocurrency #QuantumThreat #BlockchainSecurity #Cryptography #Bitcoin #ECDSA #SHA256 #QuantumResistance #CryptoSecurity #Blockchain #DigitalSignature #QuantumComputingThreat #CryptoCommunity #QuantumLevelSecurity #HotWallets #AddressReuse #QuantumComputing2026 #FutureDecryption #Qastle #QuantumCryptography #BTC

According to ChainCatcher, Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat and chairman of BitMine, recently shared insights during an interview with CNBC. He suggested that the Federal Reserve might adopt a more dovish monetary policy by 2026, potentially enhancing business confidence and driving the ISM Purchasing Managers Index above 50. This shift could benefit traditional sectors such as industrials, energy, and basic materials.
Lee also highlighted the impact of AI and blockchain applications on the financial services industry, predicting a reduction in employee density and an increase in profit margins. He foresees leading banks like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs evolving to resemble tech stocks, with the potential to become the next wave of "tech giants."
Despite potential market volatility in 2026, Lee noted historical data indicating that after three consecutive years of over 20% growth, there is a 50% chance of improved performance in the fourth year. He cautioned against complacency as a major risk but suggested that the current cautious approach of investors might mitigate this issue.#TomLee #Fed #MonetaryPolicy #BusinessConfidence #ISM #Industrials #Energy #Materials #AI #Blockchain #FinancialServices #JPMorgan #GoldmanSachs #TechStocks #MarketVolatility #Investing
