Bitmain has launched the Antminer S23 Hydro series, featuring a performance of 580 terahash per second (TH/s) and a power consumption of 5,510 watts, making it the “most efficient” mining rig available. Declining Demand for Mining Rigs Bitcoin mining rig maker Bitmain unveiled the new Antminer S23 Hydro series, which reportedly boasts 580 terahash per
On May 27, it was reported that the investment management giant BlackRock warned investors that the Bitcoin network is vulnerable to quantum computers. Researchers from Google made a similar statement the same day. The CEO of decentralized post-quantum infrastructure, Naoris Protocol, David Carvalho, answered our questions to clarify the risks and whether there is hope. Speculations about the risk of the Bitcoin network being cracked by quantum computers in the near future are not something new. It is impossible to brute force RSA and ECC encryption used in Bitcoin with modern-day processors, but it is believed that quantum computers will be able to retrieve private keys if the public key is available. The date when quantum computers will achieve sufficient power to break Bitcoin wallets is referred to as Q Day. Let's add some nuance here. While quantum threats to cryptography are real, the timeline matters. Current quantum computers are nowhere near breaking Bitcoin's cryptography. The industry is already working on quantum-resistant solutions. — T (@agentic_t) May 27, 2025 Unlike regular processors, quantum processors can perform multiple calculations simultaneously, which dramatically increases computing speed. Several companies seek solutions to avoid the potential risks. Some wallet producers already claim their products are quantum-proof.

The reward is 1 BTC BlackRock’s statement In the updated version of BlackRock’s prospectus for IBIT (BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF), the company warns investors about potential security risks associated with Bitcoin. BlackRock highlights the issue that developers of decentralized networks often lack a financial incentive to respond in a timely manner to security threats. One of the outlined threats is quantum computers, which, in a few years, will become powerful enough to crack the encryption used in Bitcoin. Below, you can see an extract pointing at the possibility of the security breach and the implication of such a breach on the price of IBIT (and understandingly, Bitcoin itself): “…a malicious actor may be able to compromise the security of the Bitcoin network or take the Trust’s bitcoin, which would adversely affect the value of the Shares. Moreover, the functionality of the Bitcoin network may be negatively affected such that it is no longer attractive to users, thereby dampening demand for bitcoin. Even if another digital asset other than bitcoin were affected by similar circumstances, any reduction in confidence in the source code or cryptography underlying digital assets generally could negatively affect the demand for digital assets and therefore adversely affect the value of the Shares.” The warning by BlackRock garnered attention, as the issue of quantum computers had never been publicly acknowledged at such a high level before. If such a large and respected company sees the problem in quantum computers, it is a signal that the threat is considerable. The Google study and a bit of irony A new study by Google suggests that the amount of resources needed to reach the Q Day is 20 times less than previously estimated. The author of the paper, Craig Gidney, writes: “In this paper, I reduced the expected number of qubits needed to break RSA2048 from 20 million to 1 million. My hope is that this provides a sign post for the current state of the art in quantum factoring, and informs how quickly quantum-safe cryptosystems should be deployed Vulnerable systems should be deprecated after 2030 and disallowed after 2035. Not because I expect sufficiently large quantum computers to exist by 2030, but because I prefer security to not be contingent on progress being slow.” Ironically, it is Google who works on advancing quantum computing. Its Sycamore processor has 53 physical qubits, which places it among the ten most powerful quantum computers currently existing. We discussed this topic with an expert To better understand what will happen when Q Day arrives and how much time is left, we addressed several questions to David Carvalho, founder and CEO of the decentralized post-quantum infrastructure, Naoris Protocol. Crypto.news: How much time do we have before the first Bitcoin wallet gets ‘hacked’ via a quantum computer? David Carvalho: A lot less time than people seem to think. There’s a whole lot of noise this week because a Google analyst has published a report saying it will take far less time than anticipated, but the cybersecurity community has known this for a while. Very soon – within five years or even less – we’ll get to a point where quantum computers have enough qubits and sufficient error correction to be a real threat to ECDSA encryption. We don’t know exactly when this will happen yet, but we do know that any protocol that doesn’t implement quantum security now won’t be able to retrofit it once quantum computers do catch up. So now is the time to focus all efforts on this before it’s too late. CN: What happens next after the quantum computer achieves the ability to hack BTC wallets? DC: The most frightening thing about quantum is that when we get to “Q-Day”, the attacks will be swift, quite possibly simultaneous, and certainly devastating. And most importantly, retroactive, meaning that even transactions that have been signed and executed could be at risk. Which means that wallets and blockchains can’t secure themselves against quantum attacks retroactively, they have to do it preemptively. CN: Will quantum computers be immediately available for bad actors? Are all the non-quantum-proof BTC wallets being hacked simultaneously? DC: Well, it’s unlikely there will be such a coordinated effort. Bad actors will likely target the biggest and most vulnerable wallets first and then move on to smaller targets. But that, in itself, is incredibly worrying, since the biggest targets are the likes of BlackRock, the second-largest holder of Bitcoin, which is also responsible for trillions of dollars in pension assets. It’s a real risk to financial stability. CN: What will be the fate of “lost bitcoins” and Satoshi Nakamoto’s holdings? DC: All of those “dormant” assets would be ripe for the picking, unless the blockchain is secured at the infrastructure level, because Satoshi will have almost certainly made transactions from vulnerable addresses. Given Satoshi’s substantial holdings, they would likely be a major target for bad actors. CN: In the event that non-quantum-proof BTC wallets are successfully hacked, will it be a good advertisement for quantum-proof wallets, or will it scare off the masses from Bitcoin and send the price down? DC: A quantum hack on Bitcoin would lead to a real loss of trust, so it wouldn’t be good news for the price. Like any black swan event, it could be the catalyst for a crypto winter. However, the fact that major institutions, and even governments, are now holding Bitcoin is encouraging. Because they are actually acutely aware of the risks from quantum computing – in fact, BlackRock recently highlighted it in its updated spot Bitcoin ETF filing. If anyone can push the blockchain sector to prepare for Q Day, it’s BlackRock and the US government. But they better do it quickly. Conclusion All in all, the fall of Bitcoin’s protection is only a matter of time, and time is running out, considering how many elements of the puzzle need to be switched to quantum-proof solutions – from mining infrastructure to exchanges and wallets. Transitioning to quantum-proof services may take time, so it’s better to start early. You might also like: Tether CEO predicts quantum computing could recover lost Bitcoin
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is scrapping a mandate in its 2022 guidance that prevented digital assets from being included in 401(k) retirement plans. In a new press release, the DOL says it’s rolling back its 2022 compliance release, which previously instructed institutions to forgo using crypto assets as options for 401(k) plans. In 2022, the DOL warned fiduciaries to use “extreme care” before offering digital assets as options for retirement plans, language that was considered unusual at the time as the agency historically has taken a neutral approach toward the subject, according to the press release. According to U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer, the DOL is rolling back the government overreach created by the Biden Administration. Says Chavez-DeRemer, “The Biden administration’s department of labor made a choice to put their thumb on the scale. We’re rolling back this overreach and making it clear that investment decisions should be made by fiduciaries, not D.C. bureaucrats.” The DOL says it’s neither endorsing nor disapproving of employers who choose to include crypto assets and notes that its reasoning extends to other crypto-related products, such as derivatives. Previously, the DOL said it had “serious concerns” about people’s retirement funds being tied up in crypto due to “significant risks of fraud, theft, and loss.” Follow us on X , Facebook and Telegram Don't Miss a Beat – Subscribe to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox Check Price Action Surf The Daily Hodl Mix Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.

Amid ongoing speculation in the crypto community, the idea that XRP could eventually reach $99 has resurfaced among some of its more optimistic supporters. However, professional traders remain skeptical. Tony “The Bull” Severino, a respected figure in the trading space, dismissed the target outright, stating there is no plausible possibility XRP could achieve that valuation under current conditions. Is XRP almost ready for its final thrust up? Monthly RSI is holding at a similar level as late 2017 pic.twitter.com/CR7T6KHrFK — Tony "The Bull" Severino, CMT (@TonyTheBullCMT) May 26, 2025 As of this writing, XRP is trading at approximately $2.25. Reaching $99 would require an increase of more than 4,300%, pushing the asset’s market capitalization into territory currently held by Bitcoin. Severino emphasized that such a leap is highly improbable without an unprecedented global financial shift favouring XRP, which he regards as completely unrealistic. Technical Indicators Show Strength, But No Justification for $99 Technical indicators on XRP’s monthly chart reflect strong momentum, particularly with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at levels last recorded in 2017. However, this does not imply that exponential price growth is imminent. On the daily chart, a descending triangle pattern is visible, suggesting a period of consolidation. The price remains constrained by declining resistance, while the 100-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) act as support zones for buyers. We are on twitter, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023 Analysts note that a breakout from this pattern could drive XRP back toward the $3 level . However, gains beyond that point are unlikely in the absence of a major fundamental catalyst. XRP’s current network data supports this cautious viewpoint. On-chain metrics and payment volumes indicate gradual, steady usage rather than explosive growth. Burn Rate Uptick Doesn’t Support Moonshot Projections XRP’s built-in burn mechanism, which permanently removes small amounts of tokens with every transaction, has seen a minor uptick in recent weeks. While this increase suggests higher network activity, it does not point to a level of demand capable of supporting a 50-fold price increase. In light of these observations, market experts advise caution. While short-term rallies are possible, projections above $3 to $4 should be approached conservatively unless the broader environment changes significantly. Severino’s response reflects this perspective, reinforcing the view that $99 is not a realistic target for the foreseeable future. Investors are encouraged to monitor potential breakouts, but should manage expectations and avoid being influenced by overly speculative forecasts.

Key takeaways : Filecoin price predictions suggest an average market price of $3.38 in 2025. By 2028, the price is projected to reach $12.42 By 2031, FIL may reach $36.73 Filecoin is a decentralized storage network designed to securely and efficiently store humanity’s most important information. Launched by Protocol Labs in October 2020, it utilizes blockchain technology to create a peer-to-peer digital storage marketplace. Users can rent unused hard drive space to earn Filecoin tokens (FIL), the network’s native cryptocurrency. The system operates on a proof-of-replication and proof-of-spacetime consensus mechanism, ensuring that data is reliably stored over time and that storage providers hold the exact copies they claim. This approach incentivizes a robust and distributed network of storage providers, enhancing data retrieval speeds and security compared to traditional centralized servers. Filecoin aims to reduce the costs of storage services by leveraging the global surplus of storage capacity. As part of the broader Web3 ecosystem, it supports decentralized applications (dApps) and services requiring secure, decentralized data storage solutions, significantly advancing decentralized internet infrastructure. Overview Cryptocurrency Filecoin Token FIL Price $2.88 Market Cap $2.02 Billion Trading Volume (24 hr) $182.15 Million Circulating Supply 1.95B FIL All-time High $237.24 on Apr 01, 2021 All-time Low $1.83 on Aug 29, 2019 24 High $2.92 24 Low $2.83 Filecoin price prediction: Technical analysis Metric Value Price Volatility (30-day variation) $ 2.83 (-0.40%) 50-Day SMA $2.78 14-Day RSI 50.35 Sentiment Neutral Fear & Greed Index 71 (Greed) Green Days 12/30 (40%) 200-Day SMA $3.52 FIL price analysis Filecoin price analysis 1-day chart analysis FIL/USD chart Image Source: TradingView The 1-day chart for Filecoin (FIL) shows that the price is not very volatile right now as of May 28. It is trading near the middle of the Bollinger Bands, which means that the coin is in a neutral to slightly bullish momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 50.57, which means that the market is neither overbought nor oversold and is consolidating. FIL’s price is having a hard time staying above the $3.00 resistance zone while also staying above the $2.70 support zone. The overall setup suggests that the market is unsure, but it leans slightly bullish. Traders should look for a breakout above $3.23 to confirm an upward move or a breakdown below $2.67 to start a new downward move in the short term. Filecoin price analysis 4-hour chart analysis FIL/USD chart Image Source: TradingView The 4-hour chart for Filecoin (FIL) shows that the market is moving through a narrow consolidation channel with no clear direction. The Bollinger Bands are getting tighter, which means that the price is less likely to move around a lot and could break out in either direction. The MACD shows a small bullish crossover above the signal line, but the 4-hour chart is still weak, which means that momentum is weak. Balance of Power (BoP) is slightly positive at 0.16, which means that buyers are in charge. But there isn’t enough follow-through in volume to prove strength. For now, traders can expect prices to move sideways, with possible attempts to break out, depending on how the market as a whole feels and whether prices break above $2.95. Filecoin technical indicators: Levels and action Daily simple moving average (SMA) Period Value Action SMA 3 $2.75 BUY SMA 5 $2.89 SELL SMA 10 $2.91 SELL SMA 21 $2.98 SELL SMA 50 $2.78 BUY SMA 100 $2.92 SELL SMA 200 $3.52 SELL Daily exponential moving average (EMA) Period Value Action EMA 3 $2.84 BUY EMA 5 $2.78 BUY EMA 10 $2.73 BUY EMA 21 $2.77 BUY EMA 50 $3.02 SELL EMA 100 $3.48 SELL EMA 200 $3.98 SELL Filecoin technical analysis: Conclusion The 4-hour and 1-day charts for Filecoin (FIL) show that the market is being careful but could be helpful. FIL is near the middle Bollinger Band on the 1-day chart, which means the trend is neutral. The RSI is around 50, which means there is no clear direction. At the same time, the 4-hour chart shows that the price is moving within tight Bollinger Bands, which means that there is low volatility and a breakout is about to happen. The MACD on the 4-hour chart shows very little divergence, which supports the idea of consolidation. As long as the market doesn’t break out above $3.00 or below $2.75, it will probably trade sideways with a slight bullish tone because there aren’t many buyers. Is Filecoin a good investment?

The hype around a potential XRP price pump to $5 has been echoing through the crypto space for years, but let’s face it, the wait has grown stale. While XRP continues to battle uncertainty and underwhelming price movement, a new opportunity is rising fast. Enter FloppyPepe (FPPE) , a little-known altcoin gem below $0.1 that’s quietly setting up for a potential 15,000% price surge in just three weeks. Backed by a growing community and a clear use case, this altcoin gem is quickly becoming the token serious investors are watching. Holding on to the XRP price pump to $5 is starting to look like a missed opportunity in slow motion. The real action is unfolding elsewhere, and it’s moving fast. XRP Price Pump To $5 Target May Take Longer To Reach Than Some Had Hoped XRP had its moment, headline-making partnerships, courtroom drama, and waves of retail enthusiasm. But for all the attention, the long-awaited XRP price pump has yet to materialize. Instead of a breakout, XRP has remained stuck in a prolonged holding pattern, delivering minimal returns while competitors press forward. As of now, XRP trades at $2.34. For the XRP price pump to reach $5, the token would need to climb over 113%, a steep climb considering its sluggish momentum. While that target once seemed within reach, it now resembles more of a long shot than a near-term milestone. In contrast, new altcoin gems with clearer momentum are stepping into the spotlight, and one of them is FloppyPepe (FPPE). Forget an XRP price pump to $5; attention is rapidly shifting to this new under $0.1 altcoin gem , which has the kind of breakout potential XRP can no longer promise. Analysts Target 15,000% Rally For FloppyPepe (FPPE), Investors Rush To Secure Tokens Early Ranked as the potentially best presale token of the year , FloppyPepe (FPPE) is the new altcoin gem that has captured serious attention from analysts projecting a staggering 15,000% surge within just three weeks. What does that actually mean? For early buyers, a $1,000 investment at a price of $0.00000035 could see their $1,000 investment climb to $150,000, offering massive upside with room still to grow. While many continue to wait on the elusive XRP price pump to $5, savvy investors have already identified the breakout potential of this altcoin gem. They are now actively shifting capital to secure available tokens before the window narrows. The Token Bonus That’s Making FloppyPepe (FPPE) The Talk Of The Market What’s fueling the growing buzz around FloppyPepe (FPPE)? It’s the 80% presale bonus that’s turning heads. Imagine someone invests $4,000 at the current presale price of $0.00000035 . With the FLOPPY80 bonus code, they receive an 80% token bonus , giving them approximately 20.57 billion tokens instead of the standard 11.43 billion. Now, if FloppyPepe (FPPE) launches at $0.0003, that same $4,000 investment could grow into a staggering $6,171,000, all thanks to early access and bonus allocation. That’s not just hype; it’s the kind of upside that explains why FloppyPepe (FPPE) is quickly becoming the altcoin gem everyone should watch, and leave the long-awaited prediction of the XRP price pump to $5. The Tech Behind FloppyPepe (FPPE) Token FloppyPepe (FPPE) is an AI-powered crypto project built around a cutting-edge platform that focuses on predictive analytics and intelligent data modeling for financial markets .

This has brought Senator Tommy Tuberville’s bill to a success as he pushed to allow crypto investments in retirement funds. The department takes neutrality in crypto investments The 2022 guidance released by the agency tasked with protecting workers and retirees encouraged managers to “exercise extreme care” before adding crypto to their investment strategies. 401(k) plans generally restricted crypto investing, only offering indirect exposure via ETFs, mutual funds, or employer-approved options. Before the 2022 release, the Department had generally said it had no opinion on certain types of investments and strategies. Today’s release goes back to how the Department did things by not supporting or opposing plan managers who decided that adding crypto to a plan’s investment options is a good idea. Still, a plan manager’s choice about which type of investment to make should consider all the important facts and circumstances and will “necessarily be context-specific.” More importantly, the government’s stance is now fully neutral, meaning plan providers can offer crypto exposure. The Labor Department is the most recent government body to change its mind about limiting crypto activity since President Trump took office in January amidst others. In March, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation reversed standards that require financial institutions to tell the agency before engaging in crypto-related activities. Later, the Federal Reserve took back its advice that banks shouldn’t get involved in crypto. The crypto market is stuck between a bull and a bear rally In the past 24 hours, the market capitalization has gone down 4.1% to $3.51 trillion, but that’s still higher than the recent highs of $3.49 trillion on Tuesday and almost at $3.54 trillion last Friday. Given how risk-averse the stock markets have been over the last few days, this is an interesting move. Bitcoin prices have been going up and down by 5% every day since May 22. They are now in the middle of that range at $111.7k. This area of highs is part of a circular extension pattern. It is 161.8% of the first upward motion from the beginning of April to the first days of May. Getting past 112k would then lead to 134k (261.8%). The SEC’s next meeting The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will hold a major “Emerging Trends in Asset Management” conference on June 5. The conference will focus on digital assets and tokenization. This move comes at a time when blockchain and token-based trading models are becoming more popular in the business world. At the event, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, known as “Crypto Mom,” will be joined by leaders from BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Fidelity, among others. Because the SEC chose to include a session on digital assets shows that things are changing. It seems like regulators are not only keeping a close eye on the crypto market, but they are also now getting involved with it. Cryptopolitan Academy: Want to grow your money in 2025?

Solana (SOL) is back in the spotlight as one of the top altcoins to watch in 2025, with bullish momentum building thanks to its lightning-fast transaction speeds, growing meme coins ecosystem, and strong developer activity. As Solana continues to battle for dominance in the smart contract space, newer entrant Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is quietly positioning itself as a high-growth coin with disruptive DeFi utility. The project is currently in Presale Phase 5, already raking in over $9.4 million with over 11,300 investors participating. With a public launch price of $0.06 after upcoming stages, phase 5 investors at the current price of $0.025 are in line for potential gains of 100% by the time the token hits exchanges. Mutuum Finance could hit $2 soon after launch. Solana’s Performance Solana is gaining renewed attention from investors, as its price stands at $174.17. A possibility for $250 in June is being considered by analysts due to surging interest from institutions, the expanding ecosystem and a rise in DeFi. Developers are drawn to Solana because it is fast and inexpensive and this leads investors to feel confident in it long term. The impressive speed of transactions at low cost on the network keeps attracting both users and developers to Solana, making the blockchain a top layer-1 network. As crypto as a whole increases in popularity, new altcoins like Mutuum Finance (MUTM) are gaining interest from investors because they may grow. Mutuum Finance: Genuine Innovation in DeFi Lending Different from the legacy tokens, Mutuum Finance distinguishes itself by being the innovative two-lending scheme that includes Peer-to-Contract (P2C) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) functionality. With P2C, individuals get to freeze stablecoins in smart contract pools whose interest rates automatically adjust dynamically. The P2P, as opposed to that, bypasses intermediaries so that lending contract control rests directly with users. It all gives rise to an extremely effective and variable lending system. Certik Audit Completed: Mutuum Finance Solidifies Trust and Transparency Security and transparency are built into the core of the project. Mutuum Finance has now officially completed its Certik smart contract audit, reinforcing the platform’s commitment to safety and reliability. Their open-source smart contracts are secure in design, instilling trust among users. Presale Momentum Today, with the token valued at $0.03, early investors are greatly intrigued by MUTM. A rise of 16.67% will take the token to $0.035 during the next step. Because some analysts think the post-launch prices will climb to $3, there is a big opportunity for those who buy the Token at $0.03. For this reason, Mutuum Finance has become a favorite among DeFi followers who track low-cost altcoins. If you compare Solana (SOL) and Mutuum Finance (MUTM), both show great potential for 2025 bull run gains. Solana has shown it is a top layer-1 blockchain with a good set of tools and is expected to rise to $250 soon. On the other side, Mutuum Finance is known for risky but potentially rewarding investments with important DeFi services, an audit by Certik and impressive potential, as it has raised over $9.4 million from over 11,300 buyers. With a current presale price of $0.03 and a public listing at $0.06, early participants could secure up to 100% returns before launch, with post-launch projections pointing as high as $2–$3. For those looking to diversify into emerging projects with 2500%+ growth potential, now is the time to explore Mutuum Finance before the next price jump.

HBAR is trading at a critical support level, with multiple bullish confluences in play. If this zone holds, a 42% rally toward daily resistance appears likely in the coming days. HBAR ( HBAR ) token has faced pressure recently, with price action trending lower and approaching oversold conditions on lower timeframes. Despite the ongoing correction, the current level is technically significant and may act as the foundation for a reversal. Price is currently sitting on a strong confluence zone, and if bulls step in, a sharp bounce toward the $0.265 resistance level could follow. From a structural standpoint, HBAR remains in a bullish trend. The sequence of higher highs and higher lows remains intact. The current pullback may simply represent another higher low forming within that broader trend. Key technical points Fibonacci & VWAP Confluence: Price is reacting at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement and VWAP support. Oversold Conditions: Lower timeframes are oversold, suggesting exhaustion of selling pressure. $0.265 Daily Resistance: Target level for the potential bounce, offering a 42% upside from current price. HBARUSDT (1D) Chart, Source: TradingView This support zone is far from arbitrary. The 0.618 Fibonacci retracement, often viewed as a key level in trending markets, aligns precisely with the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) support, a dynamic indicator closely watched by institutional traders. This overlap creates a compelling technical base for a potential bullish continuation, assuming the zone holds. The setup is forming in textbook fashion: price bleeds slowly into support, momentum wanes, and now the next move depends on volume. An influx of buyers at this level could quickly shift momentum back to the upside and begin a rotation toward the $0.265 resistance. This area marks the next structural level and aligns with previous daily supply zones.

On the contrary, the confluence of technical support, declining volume, and oversold readings suggests the pullback is a technical correction rather than a trend reversal. The bullish structure remains intact, and continuation is favored—provided the current zone is not breached. What to expect in the coming price action As long as HBAR holds above this critical confluence zone, a bounce toward $0.265 remains the most likely outcome. A confirmed reaction with increasing volume would signal a strong bullish reversal and a continuation of the prevailing trend.
