Bitcoin Proposal Aims to Protect Against Quantum Computing Threats

A recent Bitcoin proposal, BIP-361, aims to protect the network against potential quantum computing threats by migrating coins to quantum-resistant addresses. If implemented, holders who fail to migrate may have their coins frozen. Meanwhile, research highlights the security risks associated with AI agents handling crypto payments, and CoW Swap suffers a DNS hijacking incident. In a separate development, the XRP Ledger integrates zero-knowledge proofs, enabling private transactions on the public blockchain while meeting regulatory requirements.
