[Ethereum Foundation researcher targets end-2028 quantum-resistant transition]

Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake said he aims to complete Ethereum’s transition to quantum resistance and a post-AI architecture by the end of 2028, Cointelegraph reported. The target is one year earlier than the timeline for achieving quantum resistance set out in the foundation’s existing roadmap.

At Devcon 8 in Mumbai, India, Drake outlined a plan to complete the transition through three additional network upgrades over the next 24 months. The plan does not amount to an official roadmap change, however, and the foundation is set to review the existing schedule in January 2027.

[BTC rebound puts focus on $82.6K resistance]

Bitcoin could rise to its next resistance level at $82,600 after rebounding from around $75,700, according to Jack Yi, founder of crypto investment firm LD Capital.

Yi said BTC had remained in a downward correction for about 40 days since Sept. 22 before reaching a descending trend line near $75,700 and rebounding quickly.

With the U.S. macro environment acting as the market’s main variable, Yi said investors should assess the next directional move only after confirming whether this correction has ended and whether BTC breaks above the $82,600 resistance level.

[Bitcoin sentiment deteriorates sharply in two weeks]

Bitcoin investor sentiment has deteriorated sharply amid uncertainty over the U.S. midterm elections and the fallout from the Binance hack, according to on-chain analytics firm Santiment.

In a post on X, Santiment said bullish commentary on BTC was 1.8 times bearish commentary on Oct. 20, but that ratio fell to 0.37 immediately after the Binance hack. Sentiment then recovered briefly, but has since slipped again to 0.51. Santiment said the U.S. midterm election outcome is heightening anxiety among retail investors, while a recovery in BTC to $79,000 amid prevailing market pessimism could signal a price rebound moving against broader sentiment.

[Democrats win both chambers of Congress, likely reshaping crypto legislation]

The Defiant said the U.S. Democratic Party’s midterm election victory has given it control of both chambers of Congress, making an impact on crypto-related policy under the Trump administration unavoidable. The outlet said leadership of the House Financial Services Committee and the House Agriculture Committee, which have handled the CLARITY Act, will shift to Democrats, likely giving the party greater influence over future legislation and oversight of the president’s crypto-related business activities.

It added that the CLARITY Act remains pending before the full Senate, and even if Democrats gain influence over the Senate schedule, the threshold needed to invoke cloture remains unchanged. If the bill does not pass during the current congressional term, it will have to be reintroduced and move through the process again from the beginning.

[FinChain launches RWA yield enhancement solution with Plume]

FinChain, a blockchain platform backed by Hong Kong fintech company Fosun Wealth Holdings, has launched “FLEX & FINO,” an RWA-based on-chain yield enhancement solution, in partnership with Plume, an open-finance platform for institutional assets.

The product uses FUSD, which is backed by tokenized short-term U.S. Treasuries and money market funds, to generate additional yield through a leveraged looping strategy. Users can borrow USDC against FUSD as collateral and deposit it into a liquidity pool to earn extra yield on top of the base FUSD return.

The utilization cap for leverage risk management is 90%, and the projected annual percentage yield under the base-case assumption is as high as 7.2%. FinChain said the launch expands FUSD’s use case from simple holding to DeFi-based structured investment and lays the groundwork for additional RWA product development. Total value locked tied to the launch will be reflected in partner protocols and Nest Protocol after the rollout.

[Chainalysis executive says unstopped Binance hack funds may be laundered via Chinese networks]

A substantial share of the funds stolen in the Binance hack, which North Korea has been identified as being behind, is likely to flow to money-laundering operations tied to Chinese capital, including Huione Guarantee and Xinbi Guarantee, the Dong-A Ilbo reported.

In an interview with the newspaper on Nov. 3, Alec ZeBrik, senior manager of global services at Chainalysis, said the unstopped portion of the $6.34 billion in stolen funds, or about $3.49 billion, is likely to be cashed out through Chinese-language money laundering networks, or CMLNs. ZeBrik added that fund movements can sometimes take more than a year, and tracking and monitoring are needed until then.

[Zcash grants committee drops plan to redirect 98K ZEC for mining rewards]

Zcash Community Grants, or ZCG, has withdrawn a plan to redirect about 98,000 ZEC into a future mining rewards fund, CoinDesk reported.

ZCG had proposed shifting part of its holdings and future ZEC allocations into a mining rewards reserve after criticism emerged last month over the size and operation of developer grants. The committee later decided not to move forward with the proposal as community opposition continued. ZCG said any future changes to fund allocation should be decided through the network’s existing governance process. It currently receives 8% of newly issued ZEC for grant funding, and that arrangement will remain in place until the relevant rules are changed.

[Minor progressive parties push back on Democratic Party tax-delay proposal]

South Korea’s Democratic Party has faced a broad backlash from minor progressive opposition parties after it formally proposed that the government delay taxation on virtual asset income, MBC reported.

Cho Kuk, head of the innovation policy research institute at the Rebuilding Korea Party, criticized the Democratic Party as appearing to become a party that delays reform. Yong Hye-in, floor leader of the Basic Income Party, said a delay in virtual asset taxation was unlikely to win back support from voters in their 20s as it did during the Roh Moo-hyun administration. In a briefing, the Justice Party argued that the sharp standard of fairness applied to multicultural family policy appeared to become far more lenient when it came to high-income virtual asset investors benefiting from tax-free privileges. In a commentary, the Progressive Party said a tax delay that disproportionately benefits large investors would do nothing to help the lives of ordinary young people and working-class households.
