🪙 The Monero community is exploring updates to its Proof-of-Work algorithm to guard against 51% attacks, following Qubic’s claim of controlling most of the network’s hashrate. Proposals include merged mining, hardware localization, and adopting Dash’s ChainLocks.

Many users argue Qubic only caused a limited chain reorg rather than gaining control. Still, Kraken briefly halted XMR deposits, citing “security uncertainty.” Experts suggest the incident was more of a PR stunt than a real threat.

🪙 Coinbase has significantly strengthened its position in the synthetic Bitcoin market: the cbBTC supply has surpassed 30 000 coins, marking an increase of more than 160% in 2025.

Against this backdrop, the previously largest product, wBTC, has declined by 17% since the launch of cbBTC.

The total issuance of synthetic BTC on the network has remained almost unchanged, meaning that cbBTC’s growth is largely driven by a liquidity shift from wBTC. The key reasons are the convenience of issuance through Coinbase’s infrastructure and a drop in trust toward wBTC following a scandal involving entities linked to Justin Sun.

📊 Glassnode and Pantera Capital suggest that Bitcoin may have already reached the peak of this cycle — earlier than expected.

However, many experts believe that with growing demand from institutions, corporations, and even sovereigns, the classic “cycle theory” no longer applies, and deep corrections are a thing of the past.

The coming months will show who is right.
