According to CoinDesk, Securitize, a tokenization platform supported by BlackRock, announced a partnership with global stock transfer agent giant Computershare, allowing U.S. listed companies to issue on-chain tokenized equity (Issuer-Sponsored Tokens, ISTs) outside of the existing stock system.Under the plan, investors will have the option to hold shares through traditional securities accounts or directly hold corresponding on-chain equity assets through digital wallets. Computershare will continue to act as the transfer agent, responsible for managing shareholder registries, dividend distributions, and handling corporate actions such as stock splits.Reports indicate that the core of this structure is to avoid the common "wrapped shares" model found in the traditional crypto market. Unlike derivative tokens that only represent a claim to shares, ISTs will directly represent real equity ownership, rather than a mapping certificate of off-chain stocks.Carlos Domingo stated that ISTs are not derivatives built on existing stocks, but rather allow U.S. issuers to create real equity directly in token form.Data shows that Computershare currently serves over 25,000 companies and acts as the transfer agent for about 58% of S&P 500 companies. The market believes that this collaboration signifies that blockchain infrastructure is gradually entering the backend system of the core U.S. securities market, which may further promote the on-chain settlement, equity registration, and asset circulation of U.S. stocks.

Project Eleven today awarded the Q-Day prize to researcher Giancarlo Lelli, who successfully derived a 15-digit elliptic curve private key from a public key using publicly accessible quantum hardware, marking the largest scale demonstration of its kind to date, a 512-fold increase from the 6-digit demonstration in September 2025.Lelli used a variant of Shor's algorithm for the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem, which is the mathematical foundation of the Bitcoin signature scheme, with the awarded hardware featuring approximately 70 qubits. Currently, no known quantum computer can crack real Bitcoin wallets, and the security of Bitcoin's 256-bit elliptic curve remains far beyond current quantum capabilities. Notably, Google lowered its resource estimates for ECDLP-256 on March 31 and set a target for the migration to quantum cryptography after 2029, followed by Cloudflare, and the UK's NCSC also set migration milestones from 2028 to 2035.On-chain data shows that approximately 6.93 million BTC are at potential quantum risk due to exposed public keys. The Bitcoin community has proposed BIP 360 and BIP 361 to promote the migration to quantum-resistant output types, but the coordination challenges of a decentralized network remain the biggest hurdle.

The "Quantum Computing and Blockchain Independent Advisory Committee" established by Coinbase has released its first position paper. The core conclusion of this position paper is that the core infrastructure of Bitcoin is fundamentally secure. Quantum computing does not pose a substantial threat to Bitcoin mining, hash functions, and the historical records of the blockchain. The real vulnerability lies at the wallet level, and Ethereum has laid out a clear roadmap to address this issue in the near future.Previously, Coinbase announced the establishment of the Quantum Computing and Blockchain Independent Advisory Committee in January this year, with committee members including researchers from Stanford University, the University of Texas at Austin, and the Ethereum Foundation.

The Coinbase Quantum Computing and Blockchain Independent Advisory Committee has released its first position paper stating that sufficiently powerful quantum computers may be able to crack the encryption mechanisms used by mainstream blockchains to protect digital assets in the future. However, such devices do not currently exist, and encrypted assets remain secure for now. The industry should begin preparing for quantum resistance upgrades starting now.The document points out that there are currently no substantial risks associated with Bitcoin mining, hash functions, and on-chain historical records; the main vulnerability lies in the digital signatures at the wallet layer. Ethereum has proposed a clearer migration roadmap, and Solana, Algorand, and Aptos have also begun to provide or plan quantum resistance solutions.

ChainCatcher reported live that Hong Kong Legislative Council member (Technology and Innovation sector) Kenneth K.Y. Lau shared a keynote speech titled "Steady and Progressive Development Keeps Hong Kong at Forefront of Web3 Expansion" at the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival.He reviewed the development of Web3 in Hong Kong since 2022, from the licensing system for virtual asset service providers, the pilot of tokenized products, to last year's Policy Declaration 2.0 and the SFC ASPIRe roadmap, believing that regulatory clarity is the primary condition for the industry's development.He specifically compared the regulatory paths of the United States and Hong Kong, pointing out that although the U.S. has introduced important documents such as the Clarity Act, Genius Act, and the joint statement from the SEC and CFTC, the political situation may lead to legislative delays or even reversals; in contrast, Hong Kong provides a stable, transparent, and continuous development environment in terms of product classification, legislation, and infrastructure.He also mentioned the potential threat of quantum computing to the cryptocurrency industry, believing that at least five more years are needed, but the industry should prepare in advance at the cryptographic level. Finally, he emphasized that Hong Kong needs more technology developers and should promote cross-jurisdictional connectivity to form a positive flywheel for product issuance, investor participation, and innovator entry.

ChainCatcher reported live that the Deputy Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong, Chan Ho Lam, delivered a keynote speech at the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival. He pointed out that Hong Kong has developed into the third global financial center index and the first international financial center in Asia, providing a solid foundation for Web3 innovation.He stated that the digital asset development policy declaration 2.0 released last year proposed the LEAP framework, which covers four pillars: optimizing legal regulation (L), expanding the variety of tokenized products (E), promoting application scenarios and cross-border cooperation (A), and developing talent and partnerships (P).He revealed that there are currently over 10 licensed trading platforms in Hong Kong, and the Monetary Authority has issued the first two stablecoin issuer licenses this month. The SAR government issued the third batch of tokenized green bonds last year, which is the largest scale globally, and is actively formulating regulatory systems for digital asset trading service providers and custodial service providers.

DefiLlama founder 0xngmi has outlined three possible courses of action that KelpDAO may take following the rsETH hacking incident. Each of the three paths has significant flaws, and the final decision will test KelpDAO's credibility and Aave's risk tolerance.Path One: All users share the losses. KelpDAO will uniformly deduct 18.5% of the losses from all rsETH holders proportionally. Currently, there are about 666,000 rsETH collateralized across the Aave network, primarily highly leveraged on the mainnet and L2 (assuming all are at a 95% liquidation LTV). Once socialized losses occur, the equity of all positions on the mainnet will be completely wiped out, resulting in approximately $216 million in bad debt. The Umbrella protocol can cover $55 million in bad debt, and the Aave treasury will additionally bear $85 million, leaving a gap of about $76 million. KelpDAO may fill this gap by borrowing or selling Aave tokens (currently valued at about $51 million), but this would still put significant pressure on Aave, and all users would need to share the losses.Path Two: Directly rug the rsETH holders on L2. KelpDAO will only guarantee the mainnet rsETH and consider the rsETH on L2 as worthless. Currently, Aave L2 has about $359 million in rsETH collateral (calculated at current oracle prices), and if all are calculated at maximum leverage, it would result in approximately $341 million in bad debt, which cannot be covered by the Umbrella protocol at all. Aave can only use the treasury or borrowing to save part of the market, most likely abandoning chains like Arbitrum, Mantle, and Base, which have the largest losses, leading to a collapse of these L2 markets. This option has a minor impact on the Aave mainnet but would severely damage the credibility of the L2 ecosystem and could trigger a chain reaction.Path Three: Attempt to refund only the holders based on a snapshot taken before the hack, which is extremely difficult to execute. KelpDAO tries to fully refund only the rsETH holders based on the snapshot taken before the hack, while subsequent buyers or transfer holders would bear the losses themselves. However, since funds have significantly flowed after the attack, and the nature of DeFi protocols is liquidity pools, it is impossible to truly distinguish between different batches of depositors, making technical execution very challenging. The hacker borrowed $124 million on the Aave mainnet and $18 million on Arbitrum, and after deducting the coverage from the Umbrella protocol, there remains about $91 million in losses. Although this plan theoretically minimizes the spread of impact, its practical implementation is nearly impossible and could easily lead to legal and community disputes.
