Bitcoin Proposal Sparks Concern Over Quantum-Resistant Coins

A recent Bitcoin proposal has sparked debate among developers, as it suggests freezing coins vulnerable to quantum computer attacks. The proposal, known as BIP-361, aims to protect the Bitcoin network from potential quantum threats by migrating coins to quantum-resistant addresses. Meanwhile, research has highlighted the security risks associated with AI-powered crypto payments, and a recent attack on CoW Swap has underscored the ongoing security risks in DeFi platforms. In other news, the XRP Ledger has integrated zero-knowledge proofs, enabling private transactions on the public blockchain while meeting regulatory requirements.
