Bank of England's Greene: Demand for stablecoins may fade soon
According to Odaily Planet Daily, Megan Greene, a member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), stated on Sunday that the hype around stablecoins may soon dissipate, to be replaced by tokenized deposits—digital versions of traditional bank deposits.Stablecoins, a type of crypto asset designed to maintain a stable value, have grown in popularity in recent years. Although issuance has leveled off in recent months, some still anticipate further growth for stablecoins."I think it's very likely that tokenized deposits will replace stablecoins, and in five years, we might wonder why we were even talking about stablecoins," Greene said at a conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia. She believes that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), stablecoins, and digital deposits all have their respective markets, but once commercial banks realize they risk losing traditional deposits if they don't act, digital deposits could ultimately emerge as the winner.

Ledger CTO Analyzes Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration, Blockchain Favors Hash-Based Signature Schemes
Ledger Chief Technology Officer Charles Guillemet pointed out that the development of post-quantum cryptography has entered a critical stage. Although the timeline for a practical quantum computer remains unclear, a full-scale migration of the encryption systems across the industry is an inevitable trend. Led by NIST, the traditional sector plans to phase out high-risk algorithms by 2030 and completely ban them by 2035, with government and enterprise institutions expected to complete their migration layouts by 2029. Encryption and key exchange will adopt ML-KEM to defend against quantum decryption attacks on harvested data, with digital signatures becoming the core of blockchain transformation. The traditional industry prefers ML-DSA hybrid schemes, while the blockchain sector favors the more secure and robust SLH-DSA hash-based signature. Both schemes have their respective advantages and disadvantages. The compatibility challenges of post-quantum algorithms with MPC and threshold signatures remain a key risk that the industry urgently needs to address.
