GOOGLE VALIDATES CARDANO AS SECOND-MOST QUANTUM-READY BLOCKCHAIN 😱😱😱

Tech titan Google ranks $ADA as the #2 quantum-ready blockchain, spotlighting its advanced defenses against future quantum threats.

This positions Cardano as a top contender for institutional trust in a rapidly evolving crypto landscape.

This is a FIRST for crypto 👀

Monument Bank is bringing £250M in deposits on @MidnightNtwrk!

Real customer money that's tokenized on chain, while staying compliant, interest bearing, and redeemable like a normal bank deposit.

Selective privacy and compliance matter so much for institutional onboarding & Midnight did it right!

🚨 INSTITUTIONS ARE COMING TO MIDNIGHT — AND THEY’RE RUNNING NODES 🚨

The Midnight Network is rapidly assembling a powerhouse of global operators ahead of mainnet — and two major players just joined:

This isn’t just infrastructure — it’s real institutional use cases going live:

🔐 @Bullish → Building Proof of Reserves on Midnight’s ZK layer → Verify solvency without exposing sensitive data

💵 @Worldpay_Global → Exploring stablecoin payment rails (USDG) → Enable global merchant settlement with privacy + AML/KYC compliance
Together, they tackle the biggest blocker in DeFi:

👉 Public data exposure
Midnight solves this with zero-knowledge + selective disclosure
→ Prove what matters
→ Keep everything else private

With operators like:
Google Cloud · MoneyGram · eToro · Vodafone Group · Blockdaemon

👉 Midnight is shaping what institutional DeFi actually looks like.

Privacy is no longer optional. It’s infrastructure. 🚀

Breaking News
Cardano (ADA) has now been formally detailed by the SEC as a digital commodity, not a security today.

It is written directly into the Commission’s latest interpretive release. (Released Today)

A digital commodity is an asset that derives its value from the programmatic operation of a functional crypto system, not from the expectation of profits driven by the efforts of others.

ADA is listed alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum under that classification.

I've had this idea for a while, but seeing the DRep concentration risk enter the public discourse again recently finally motivated me to do something about it.

There are certain DReps who obtained their delegation through "soft-coersion". They achieved much of their delegation because many people chose the default option, thought that they would be locked out of their wallet if they didn't, or because the ability to delegate to anyone else was made awkward or difficult.

Currently @YoroiWallet is what I consider to be the biggest offender, and they've had over a year since governance launched to correct this, so it's clearly not a priority for them.

So I built Antitrust, a small library of react components that use publicly available APIs; The goal is to allow drop-in to any dApp, and when it detects you're delegated to one of these soft-coerced DReps, it provides a gentle prompt to the user to let them know it's ok to delegate elsewhere, and helping them do so if they choose.

https://t.co/0utbgVlo5Y

It's not production ready, and represents a supply chain risk so I won't publish it to NPM. But I wanted to get the idea out there as inspiration and as a warning. If you're building a dApp, feel free to use this as inspiration, or fork it so you control the supply chain.

If @YoroiWallet makes it easier to browse and delegate to other users, and provides a 1-time prompt to existing users explaining that nothing about Yoroi requires them to delegate to the Yoroi or Emurgo DReps, I will delete this repo, or at least remove them from the list of soft-coersion DReps.

Why can’t Circle freeze a USDC account on Cardano or block a transaction?

Because USDCx on Cardano is a native asset.

USDC has the same properties as ADA after minting, including storage in the ledger and transfer.

A mint script can be used to mint and burn assets. For burning, the script owner needs to have assets on their own address.

Once the issuer sends USDC to the recipient’s address, the recipient has full control over the assets. The transfers of assets are handled by the Cardano protocol.

The issuer (script owner) has no control over the assets.

The Cardano protocol handles the operations that users perform.

When Alice sends USDC to Bob, the only one who validates the transaction is the Cardano network. All valid transactions will be processed. There is no way to prevent this.

A third party would have to force all SPOs not to include the transaction in the block.

Transfers to Cardano are safe and cheap, because it is not necessary to process a smart contract (which is computationally more intensive than just using the protocol logic).

Why is it possible to block transactions and freeze an account on EVM chains like Ethereum?

A smart contract is always used for the transfer of assets. So, any logic can be included.

A smart contract is used for minting and transferring assets. It handles all operations with assets that users perform.

This has some advantages, because the behavior of assets can be defined. I like the flexibility. It is useful for many use cases.

However, control over assets can also be abused.

This is exactly what Circle utilized. They inserted logic into the smart contract to blacklist an account or prevent a transaction.

When Alice sends USDC to Bob, the transaction is processed by a smart contract, which is controlled by Circle. Circle is a third party that can prevent the transaction.

EVM transactions can theoretically be more expensive, because it is necessary to execute a smart contract.

There was an unclear situation around USDC and USDT. It was said that Circle and Tether do not want to mint stablecoins on Cardano because they want (maybe have to) retain control.

Let's be happy that Pentad delivered and we have USDCx as a native asset.
