2+ min ago (288+ words) Quantum Computing Unlikely to Impact Bitcoin, Crypto Prices in 2026: Grayscale Fears that quantum computers could undermine Bitcoin's security are unlikely to affect crypto markets in 2026, investment firm Grayscale said in a new report that dismissed the technology's near-term risk. In its 2026 Digital Asset Outlook, the asset manager called quantum computing a "red herring" for the year ahead, saying the technology posed a long-term cryptographic challenge but was not expected to influence the price of the crypto market in the coming year. "We believe that research and preparedness will continue on post-quantum cryptography, but this issue is unlikely to affect valuations in the next year," Grayscale analysts wrote. The report echoed concerns of cryptographers who have long warned that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could break public-key cryptography used to secure Bitcoin and other blockchains. In such a scenario, researchers say…...

15+ min ago (506+ words) Litecoin (LTC) remains under heavy selling pressure, trading below $78 on Tuesday, extending its losing streak to seven consecutive days after being rejected at a key resistance zone. With social interest fading and momentum indicators turning increasingly bearish, downside risks remain dominant. Santiment's Social Dominance metric for Litecoin supports a bearish outlook. The index measures the share of LTC-related discussions across the cryptocurrency media. It has consistently fallen since early December, reaching an annual low of 0.032% on Tuesday. This fall indicates fading market interest and weakening sentiment among LTC investors. On the derivatives front, data further supports a negative outlook for Litecoin. Coinglass's OI-Weighted Funding Rate data show that the number of traders betting that the price of LTC will slide further exceeds those anticipating a price increase. The metric flipped to a negative rate on Tuesday, now at -0.002%, suggesting that…...

In a recent podcast, Gromen stresses that currency debasement will turn investors toward assets like gold and Bitcoin. Currency debasement is the value of the US dollar losing strength over time. Gromen, as reported by TheStreet, gold and select equities may offer a better option or more predictable way to play that trade over the coming years.

26+ min ago (257+ words) The recent upheaval in the cryptocurrency market has raised significant concerns among traders and investors alike, as more than $584 million was wiped out in a single day due to widespread liquidations. This event highlights the complexities of trading in a volatile environment, particularly when leveraged positions become unsustainable. A staggering 181,893 traders found themselves liquidated, predominantly involving long positions that represented over 87% of losses. This suggests that many participants were overly confident in the market's upward trajectory, leading to a critical miscalculation. The most significant liquidations occurred in Bitcoin and ether, contributing immensely to the overall decline. Notably, leading trading platforms such as Binance, Bybit, and Hyperliquid accounted for a vast majority of liquidations, with Hyperliquid notably reporting that 98% of its liquidated positions were longs. This imbalance suggests a concerning trend where traders are excessively positioned, further complicating market stability. This…...

41+ min ago (391+ words) XRP's price action in recent days has led to speculations among crypto traders over whether it could fall below the $2 support zone and how deep any pullback might go before a bottom is established." Popular XRP analyst Zach Rector addressed this concern shared by many market participants during an interview on the Paul Barron Podcast as to how low XRP could realistically fall before buyers step in and whether a return to the $1 level is still possible under current conditions. Inflows into Spot XRP ETFs have been largely offset by selling pressure on centralized exchanges, keeping the cryptocurrency range-bound just above $2 even as long-term demand builds in the background. This range-bound trading has left the cryptocurrency at risk of losing $2 and breaking further downwards. The question now is whether this downward risk can cause the XRP price to return to…...
