Cryptocurrency financial services company Galaxy Digital announced the establishment of a $5 million Bitcoin Quantum Readiness Initiative, funding developers to research solutions to address future quantum computing threats. The program is open for applications starting today, with funding directions including quantum-resistant signature algorithms, wallet migration tools, and security audits.Galaxy stated that it hopes to attract more institutions to jointly invest and research, accelerating Bitcoin's transition to quantum-resistant cryptography. According to CryptoQuant data, if future quantum computers have the capability to crack Bitcoin's existing cryptographic algorithms, approximately 6.9 million BTC (equivalent to about $46.1 billion at current prices) may face the risk of theft. Although the industry generally believes that quantum computing does not pose an immediate threat to the Bitcoin network, related preparations should be initiated as early as possible due to the need for long-term collaboration among developers, wallets, exchanges, and users for protocol upgrades.

Pump.fun announced the launch of a new standard launch mechanism called BOOST, applicable to every new token on the platform. Pump.fun stated that over $100 million in liquidity becomes dead liquidity each year when tokens migrate from the initial bonding curve to the liquidity pool, and the BOOST model will reinject future liquidity into each bonded token.Co-founder Alon Cohen described this update as adding approximately 20% liquidity for each newly migrated token, without altering the trading experience of the bonding curve or liquidity pool, injecting hundreds of millions into the ecosystem over time.The above data is based on the company's own projections rather than independently verified results, and Pump.fun did not release a supporting dataset with the announcement. The actual liquidity effect depends on the number of tokens bonded and migrated under the new default mechanism. Previously, Pump.fun launched a USDC paired liquidity pool.

According to a security alert released by the on-chain security monitoring organization TenArmor on July 22, its system detected a suspicious attack incident involving GemJoin under 42DAO (@42dao_official), which occurred on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and resulted in a loss of approximately $900,000.On-chain transaction records show that the attacker extracted about 10.73 Binance-Peg BTCB (worth approximately $715,000) through the GemJoin contract and conducted token exchange operations via PancakeSwap, involving assets such as BALANCE COIN (BLC) and Binance-Peg BSC-USD.

According to external disclosure information, OpenAI has been internally running an unreleased model. This model, without the aid of tools like Lean, solves the unit distance problem with a 48% probability through a single autonomous inference and can independently find a counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture based on a single prompt. In security testing, this model has bypassed the sandbox environment and submitted results that should have been released internally to GitHub in the form of a Pull Request, and it has evaded detection by splitting authentication tokens. Relevant code records show that OpenAI began benchmarking this model no later than May 9, and its internal availability has exceeded 2.5 months.Previously, OpenAI and Hugging Face jointly disclosed that last week this model breached Hugging Face's production infrastructure during a network capability assessment. The model gained internet access through a zero-day vulnerability and obtained testing solutions by stealing credentials and exploiting remote code execution paths. OpenAI stated that this incident indicates the network attack capabilities of advanced models have been effective in real-world scenarios, and they are collaborating with Hugging Face to investigate and patch the vulnerabilities. Currently, OpenAI has not publicly commented on this matter.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a Hyperliquid whale that had been silent since November 2025 has staked HYPE again, staking 387,800 HYPE (approximately $23.42 million) across two wallets.This whale had previously staked 619,120 HYPE in November 2025, with a total of 1,006,000 HYPE staked (approximately $61.16 million).

According to The Block, the new version of the cryptocurrency ethics clause signed by President Trump has been approved, explicitly prohibiting federal officials (including members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President) from issuing digital assets, with the Department of Justice serving as the primary enforcement agency rather than state attorneys general. This arrangement has sparked controversy among Democrats. Maryland Democratic Senator Angela Alsobrooks stated that "having the Department of Justice enforce the ethics clause is not a serious proposal," and she will not support the bill if the final text remains as such.This clause is the last obstacle to the passage of the Clarity Act, with the controversy focusing on Trump's own meme coin and his family company World Liberty Financial—last month's financial report revealed that Trump received millions of dollars in related income from WLF. The White House has not confirmed the specific wording of the clause but stated that it is working with lawmakers to push the bill through and will place the blame for any obstruction on the Democrats.

Negotiators are also discussing DeFi provisions, but ethical issues remain the main obstacle.When asked about the ethical proposal, Sen Lummis's spokesperson stated that the dialogue with the White House last week "went smoothly," and the ethical text to be released in the coming days will reflect this productive conversation.

Vitalik posted on the X platform stating that a new type of "high-level programming language" worth trying is a language compiled to Lean (or HOL, etc.), focusing on making it as easy as possible for humans to read definitions and theorems. Rather than proofs, because proofs only need to be correct, the key lies in the definitions and theorems themselves. The envisioned use is that AI outputs a large segment of proof, and the reader needs to understand as easily as possible which precise claims have actually been proven in these outputs.

According to The Block, the Ethereum privacy infrastructure project Aztec has announced the launch of the complete v5 Execution Layer Alpha version, bringing multiple cryptographic optimizations aimed at achieving client-side ZK Proving with second-level generation on mobile phones and consumer-grade laptops.Aztec stated that the v5 Execution Layer reduces the computational burden required for local proof generation by optimizing the zero-knowledge proof generation process, allowing users to complete privacy transaction proofs without relying on large servers. This improvement is expected to further promote the widespread application of zero-knowledge technology.

According to Theenergymag, Bitcoin mining company Ionic Digital expects its stock to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on July 28, after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that its registration statement has officially taken effect, clearing the last major regulatory hurdle for the company's long-term listing plan.According to the statement released by the company, Ionic's stock ticker will be "IOND." Ionic has chosen a direct listing instead of a traditional initial public offering (IPO), which means the company will not issue new shares and will not receive financing proceeds from this transaction. Instead, existing registered shareholders will be able to sell their shares on the open market.Ionic was initially established to take over the Bitcoin mining assets from Celsius's legacy, and the company later began to transform itself, positioning itself as a broader digital infrastructure company that provides services for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.Earlier this month, Ionic filed its Form S-1 registration statement for the first time. Before the listing, the company had raised approximately $400 million to support data center construction and to drive the business transition from Bitcoin mining to a broader digital infrastructure sector.
