🔥 Coinbase, Ripple among over 200 crypto organizations urging Senate Clarity Act vote

A coalition of more than 200 digital asset companies, trade groups, and grassroots organizations delivered a letter to Senate leaders John Thune and Chuck Schumer calling for a floor vote on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act.

🤝 Stand With Crypto organized the letter alongside the Blockchain Association, Crypto Council for Innovation, and The Digital Chamber. The organization has mobilized a network of nearly 3 million advocates across all 50 states to push for the bill's passage.

Signatories, including Coinbase, Ripple, Kraken, Andreessen Horowitz, Circle, and Binance US, said in the letter that the bill would:
→ establish a comprehensive federal framework for digital asset markets;
→ clarify regulatory responsibilities;
→ create workable registration pathways;
→ maintain protections for software developers;
→ bring more digital asset activity into responsible U.S. markets.

"The Clarity Act gives Congress the opportunity to keep innovation, jobs, investment, and market activity here at home while strengthening America's role as the global leader in digital asset innovation," — the letter read.

⚡️🇹🇷🇸🇦 Türkiye, Saudi Arabia sign rail, logistics cooperation agreements

Türkiye and Saudi Arabia reached a historic milestone in the transportation and logistics relations by signing MOU agreements in transport, railway fields. The two countries are also strengthening collaboration in the fields of technology, infrastructure, training, and human resources.

"In this context, we are launching a new phase that will strengthen the exchange of expertise and technical cooperation across a wide range of areas, from logistics centers to modern applications," — said Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloglu. 🤝

Earlier this month, Uraloglu has said Türkiye plans to modernize the historic Hejaz Railway and extend it to Oman to create an alternative global trade route to the Strait of Hormuz. Türkiye aims to revive the historical line for both tourism and modern transit.

⚡️ Stellantis Recalls Over 1 Million Jeep Vehicles Due to Fire Risk

Stellantis NV is recalling more than 1 million Jeep vehicles in the US over an electrical issue that could result in a fire, saying that owners should park outside and away from other cars until the problem is fixed.

The issue stems from potential overheating in wiring for the electric hydraulic power steering pump in certain Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles, according to documents posted on the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. That can lead to a fire even when the vehicle’s ignition is turned off.

🤑 The Stellar Development Foundation unveiled the Quantum Preparedness Plan (QPP) for the Stellar Network — the program to migrate the network to quantum-safe cryptography.

By the end of 2027, in addition to the structural advantage Stellar has with account identity being separate from signing keys, every Stellar account is expected to be able to add a quantum-safe signer through a native protocol upgrade, keeping the same address and the same history. Enterprise wallets are expected to be able to move to quantum-safe signing in 2026 through Soroban contract accounts.

‼️ There are two threats to Stellar from sufficiently powerful quantum computers, and they require different solutions.

→ Network integrity. Stellar Consensus Protocol messages are authenticated with Ed25519 signatures by validators. An attacker who can forge enough validator signatures to control quorum intersection can compromise consensus itself. This is a serious threat but a more tractable coordination problem — there are hundreds of validators, not tens of millions of accounts. Network integrity will be addressed through a protocol upgrade to SCP.

→ Account takeover. Shor's algorithm can derive the private key for any Ed25519 public key. On Stellar, account addresses (G... addresses) directly encode the Ed25519 public key, which means every account address on the network is a target — including dormant accounts that have never authorized a transaction. This is a structural difference from Bitcoin and Ethereum, where addresses are hashes of public keys and only become exposed after first use.

⚡️Account takeover is the harder problem and the focus of QPP.

🔥 Stellar's structural advantage: On most chains, the account address is the public key. Rotating keys means moving balances to a new account and updating every external system that references the old address.🔣 On Stellar, account identity is separated from signing keys.

🧱 The roadmap consists of three stages:

Stage 1—Building blocks and contract accounts (2026).
Stage 2—Protocol-level enshrinement and opt-in migration (2027).
Stage 3—Deprecation (timing determined by the threat).

The QPP is not work SDF can execute alone. Validators, wallets, anchors, custodians, SDK maintainers, and Soroban contract developers all have a role. 🚀
