The Ethereum Foundation detailed a multi-year plan to transition the network to post-quantum cryptography by 2029, while the US Treasury imposed new sanctions on crypto networks tied to terror groups and criminal syndicates.

  1. Ethereum Foundation outlines post-quantum roadmap for 2029 Developers aim to finalize the core infrastructure shift by 2029 to mitigate risks from quantum computing advancements. An initial account abstraction proposal, EIP-8141, is being evaluated for inclusion in the late 2026 Hegotá upgrade to allow users to adopt quantum-safe signatures voluntarily.

  2. US Treasury sanctions Hamas and IRGC-linked crypto networks Authorities designated multiple entities, including Iranian exchanges laundering funds for the IRGC and members of the Tren de Aragua gang. The Latin American syndicate allegedly laundered over $40.73 million in stolen ATM funds using stablecoins. The strict liability nature of the designations means any interaction with the sanctioned wallets could trigger secondary penalties.

  3. CFTC secures permanent trading ban against Celsius founder A federal court approved a consent order permanently barring Alexander Mashinsky from commodities markets. The action resolves the 2023 civil fraud case and follows his 12-year prison sentence and $48 million forfeiture order in a parallel criminal case.

  4. Ant Digital and HSBC test AI agent micropayments The technical verification explored how autonomous artificial intelligence systems could use tokenized bank deposits for real-time settlement. The test utilized the Tokenised Deposit Service from HSBC alongside Ant Digital networks, though developers stated it does not represent a live commercial launch.

Numbers $BTC traded at $82,920, up 0.2 percent over 24 hours, while total market capitalization reached $2.75 trillion and $STRK surged 54.7 percent.

Watch

  • The conclusion of the second annual Post-Quantum Research Retreat on Oct. 12, 2026.
  • Asset freezes by stablecoin operators enforcing the new OFAC designations.
  • Celsius creditor distributions in ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.
