Ethereum moves toward becoming the first major quantum-resistant Layer-1.
On Feb 26, 2026, Vitalik Buterin confirmed quantum-resistant upgrades are included in Ethereum’s new four-year “Strawmap.” Avanced quantum computers could eventually break today’s encryption. Quantum-resistant signatures aim to secure the network before that risk materializes. With structured six-month forks starting in 2026, post-quantum resilience is shifting from theory to roadmap, not just for Ethereum, but across major blockchains. The potential impact of quantum computing on digital assets remains subject to ongoing debate, and its full implications have to be fully understood or observed.

Gold had a strong but volatile start to the year. January’s price swings reflected volatility, not weakness. Solid demand, central bank buying, and improving miner fundamentals support a long-term bull market into 2026. This article covers developments through January 2026. https://t.co/bs5sqLvSqY

The dollar’s global dominance is fading. As trust in non-sovereign assets grows, central banks are turning to gold, buying over 1,000 tonnes a year since 2010. A structural shift in global reserve management may be underway. However, the tendency is uncertain, and changes can always occur.

Despite volatility, prices stay strong above $4,000. Ongoing demand, tight supply, and steady buying continue to support the market. Gold miners are also benefiting from solid profits and attractive valuations, though, as always, investing in natural resources comes with risks.

Gold hit record highs in 2025, driven by central bank demand, de-dollarization, and renewed investor interest.

Central banks are buying gold at record levels, signaling long-term diversification away from the U.S. dollar though potential regulatory and economic uncertainties remain a risk.

Gold surged to an all-time high of $3,508.70, fueled by a weakening U.S. dollar and growing expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut later this month. The rally, is also fueled by expectations of a subdued labor market and subsequent labor market and subsequent rate reductions.
