Gate CEO Calls for Crypto Industry Security Alliance, Proposes 48-Hour Withdrawal Delay
Odaily reports: Lin Han, founder and CEO of cryptocurrency trading platform Gate, has called on the crypto industry to immediately establish a security alliance to unify security standards, intrusion detection protocols, and emergency response mechanisms in order to address security incidents like the one suffered by Binance. The Binance incident involved approximately $6.3 billion in losses.Gate also proposed promoting a vault solution with split keys, distributing private keys among users, Gate, and recovery partners, so that funds can only be transferred after at least two parties are compromised; vault withdrawals would be subject to a 48-hour delay to allow users to freeze their funds.Gate stated that it has flagged the relevant hacker addresses and will freeze any illicit funds transferred to its platform.

Alliance Partner Discusses a16z's Shift Toward Frontier Tech Investment: AI Infrastructure Development Mirrors Crypto's Past, This Shift May Spur Crypto Talent to Build Frontier Tech
Alliance General Partner Imran recently posted on X, sharing his views on a16z crypto's shift toward frontier technology sectors. He noted that a16z provided early endorsement for the crypto industry when Chris Dixon led Coinbase's investment in 2013; Marc Andreessen's 2014 New York Times op-ed "Why Bitcoin Matters" was a key factor that prompted him to transition into the Bitcoin industry. At the time, very few institutions and funds were willing to publicly support crypto, and a16z and USV were the two that took on brand risk.Imran believes that the current development of AI infrastructure has benefited considerably from Bitcoin mining infrastructure and talent flowing from crypto to AI. Shifting toward frontier tech such as robotics, biology, AI, energy, and compute means that the talent and capabilities accumulated in the crypto industry over the past decade can be used to build the entire frontier tech sector. Citing data centers as an example, he noted that public and government resistance to data centers is growing, much like earlier resistance to crypto—yet today nearly all traditional financial institutions have embraced crypto to some extent.

South Korea Sees Renewed Calls to Delay Crypto Tax, Related Bill Proposes Implementation in 2029
Senior officials from South Korea's finance ministry plan to hold consultations with major cryptocurrency exchanges on Tuesday, with participants including representatives from Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, DigitalX, Gopax, and the Digital Asset Exchange Alliance (DAXA). Yoo Young-jun, Director General of the Digital Finance Policy Bureau at South Korea's Financial Services Commission, will attend the meeting.South Korea has postponed the crypto tax three times, most recently pushing the implementation date to 2027. Exchanges say that applicable rules for different transaction types have not yet been determined and that infrastructure preparation time is limited, with the industry broadly supporting a further delay of the tax.South Korean Democratic Party lawmaker Park Min-gyu recently proposed a bill that would set the tax start date as January 1 of the second year after South Korea begins sharing data under the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). If the first data exchange takes place in 2027, the tax would begin in 2029. (Cointelegraph)

About 6.04 million BTC face quantum exposure risk, 9 blockchain organizations form the Quantum Alliance
Odaily reports: Nine blockchain organizations announced on Thursday the formation of the Quantum Alliance, aimed at developing "quantum-ready" standards and establishing unified testing and validation methods for the quantum resilience of networks, wallets, and infrastructure.The Quantum Alliance operates by reference to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), with founding participants spanning underlying protocols, privacy networks, Rollups, hardware wallets, and security auditing, including Quantus, Postquant Labs, Midnight Foundation, Keystone, Abelian, and Hacken. Its work is divided into four groups: blockchain migration, post-quantum zero-knowledge systems, wallet security, and cross-chain compatibility.The Quantum Alliance stated that elliptic curve signatures leave approximately 6.04 million BTC, about 30% of the total supply, exposed to quantum risk. If a sufficiently capable quantum computer runs Shor's algorithm, it could theoretically reverse-engineer private keys and take control of the related assets.Citing multiple forecasts, the Quantum Alliance said the relevant risk window may lie in the late 2020s, with one model marking March 2028 as an earlier window; a Google Quantum AI study lowered its estimate of the number of qubits needed to break Bitcoin's cryptography to fewer than 500,000.

Coinbase Says It Custodies About 5% of Bitcoin, Urges Immediate Quantum-Resistant Migration
Odaily News: Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase stated that the Bitcoin it custodies accounts for approximately 5% of the total existing Bitcoin supply, and urged Bitcoin developers to immediately begin addressing the quantum computing threat. Coinbase pointed out that Bitcoin consensus changes and ecosystem migration could take years, and action cannot wait until quantum computers with the capability to break signature schemes emerge.Coinbase recommends adopting a flexible "container" design similar to BIP-360 to enable the gradual replacement of quantum-resistant signature systems; it also proposed a phased "1-of-2" approach that would allow the same funds to be spent via either traditional keys or quantum-resistant keys during the transition period. The proposal would also need to be compatible with multi-party computation (MPC) key-splitting mechanisms.Coinbase stated that dormant, lost, and Satoshi-era Bitcoin holdings constitute a separate governance issue, and that any rescue mechanism itself must also be quantum-resistant. In January of this year, Coinbase established a Quantum Advisory Board; in July, it joined the Bitcoin Security Alliance alongside BlackRock and Strategy, with a combined commitment of $15 million for Bitcoin's quantum-resistant overhaul.

Coinbase Publishes Article Exploring Bitcoin's Post-Quantum Security Migration Path
In an official blog post, Coinbase shares technical considerations regarding its transition strategy for Bitcoin to address quantum computing threats. The article points out that quantum computers pose a potential threat to Bitcoin's existing cryptographic system, and migration efforts require years of advance planning. As one of the world's largest cryptocurrency custody institutions, Coinbase holds approximately 5% of the global BTC supply and has already joined the Bitcoin Security Alliance while investing in open-source research support. Key recommendations include adopting flexible output architectures such as P2MR (BIP-360) or P2TRv2 to support the introduction and replacement of post-quantum signature schemes; implementing a 1-of-2 hybrid transition construct that allows funds to retain both classical and post-quantum signature paths simultaneously; prioritizing stateless signature schemes to mitigate state management risks; and requiring candidate schemes to be compatible with Multi-Party Computation (MPC) to meet institutional-grade custody requirements. Coinbase emphasizes that the handling of legacy funds can be discussed in parallel with technical upgrade work and should not hinder the advancement of post-quantum signature support.

Venture capital firm USV announces the closing of a $900 million new fund, betting on application-layer opportunities in the AI era.
USV announced that veteran venture capital firm Union Square Ventures (USV) has successfully raised a new $900 million fund to support startups positioned at the cusp of major market shifts. USV stated that AI infrastructure buildout is already fully underway. Just as the firm backed the internet revolution in 2004, it will apply the exact same logic to invest in the “age of intelligence.” The fund’s substantial increase from the previous $275 million is designed to address the realities of the AI era, which is characterized by larger funding rounds and higher valuations. Regarding investment focus, USV outlined three core themes: AI will reshape markets rather than merely automate them; unlocking previously inaccessible “edge data” (spanning robotics, manufacturing, sensor networks, etc.); and meeting the growing demand from consumers and enterprises for more robust intelligence and stronger trust alignment (categorized under the “Rebel Alliance” theme). Energy investments have also been integrated into the core fund.

Alliance Co-founder: Public chains will no longer matter to most users; user stickiness will shift to products that own user relationships
Odaily News, Imran Khan posted on X, stating that for most users, the public chain itself will become secondary; what matters is the upper-layer products that serve end users. Launch platforms are being commoditized, and platforms with the deepest network effects or those that carve out niche markets through differentiation are more likely to win—such as stock trading pairs. On-chain frontends, lending, swap routing, cross-chain bridges, and most trading infrastructure are eroding single-platform stickiness and community identity. User stickiness will shift to the party that owns the user relationship.
