Nearly one-third of all Bitcoin in circulation—over 6 million coins worth over $469 billion as of this writing—is already vulnerable to theft if powerful quantum computers become a reality, according to…

Hester Peirce pushes back against “hyperbole” surrounding a contemplated SEC innovation exemption for tokenized NMS stock, emphasizing it would cover only digital representations of existing equities, not synthetic assets.SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce clarified the scope of a proposed innovation exemption for onchain trading of tokenized NMS stock, cautioning against mischaracterization of the initiative.
