⚠️ AI Slashes Quantum Bitcoin Attack Costs by 86%

New research suggests the timeline for a quantum threat to Bitcoin's cryptography may be compressing faster than previously anticipated — and artificial intelligence is accelerating the process.

Over just two months, researchers working alongside AI coding agents reduced the estimated cost of a quantum attack on Bitcoin's cryptography by 86%. The speed of that progress is what makes the findings notable: reductions of this scale previously took years of dedicated research.

While a quantum computer capable of breaking Bitcoin's elliptic curve cryptography does not yet exist, the rapid cost compression driven by AI tooling is shifting how seriously the crypto security community may need to treat the timeline. The Bitcoin network currently has no post-quantum cryptographic upgrade in place.

🟠 Bitcoin Depot's 2,500 ATMs Sold for $620K in Bankruptcy

Bitcoin Bancorp, a Las Vegas-based digital asset company, has acquired over 2,500 cryptocurrency ATMs from the Bitcoin Depot bankruptcy sale for just $620,000 — a fraction of their previously estimated $26 million value.

The machines were sold through bankruptcy proceedings, with Bitcoin Bancorp emerging as the buyer. The steep discount reflects the dramatic collapse in perceived value of crypto ATM infrastructure as the business model came under pressure.

The sale marks a significant moment for the crypto ATM sector, which has faced mounting regulatory scrutiny and declining operator margins in recent years.

🔐 Liquid Network restarts blocks after 4,000 BTC exploit

Liquid Network has resumed block production following a major security incident in which a white-hat hacker took control of nearly 4,000 BTC — approximately $320M — from the Bitcoin sidechain.

The Liquid team deployed emergency software updates to stabilize the network. Of the 4,000 BTC taken, 3,400 BTC has been returned. Block production is now active, but transactions and peg operations remain suspended pending confirmation that the network is fully stable.

The incident highlights ongoing security risks in Bitcoin sidechain infrastructure, even when funds are partially recovered.

🔐 Singaporean ringleader admits leading $245M crypto theft ring

Malone Lam, a 22-year-old Singaporean citizen, has pleaded guilty to directing a criminal network that stole and laundered over $245 million in cryptocurrency.

The operation combined online impersonation tactics with physical home break-ins to access victims' funds. Proceeds were laundered through purchases of exotic cars, private jet rentals, and nightlife spending.

The case highlights the growing crossover between cybercrime and real-world violence in crypto theft, and serves as a reminder that large on-chain holdings can make individuals targets beyond the digital realm.

🔐 Family Killed in Mexico Over Bitcoin Cold Wallet

Mexican prosecutors allege a musician and his family were targeted and killed by suspects searching for a Bitcoin cold wallet believed to hold millions of dollars.

The victim, Jonathan Meléndez, was a keyboardist for the band Camilo Séptimo. Prosecutors say the attackers were motivated by the belief that the wallet contained significant Bitcoin holdings.

The case is a stark reminder that publicly known crypto wealth can create serious physical security risks — cold wallet storage protects against digital theft but offers no protection if ownership becomes known to bad actors.
