John Fetterman (D-PA) crossed party lines. UK Economic Secretary Emma Reynolds told Parliament that digital assets could bring a “transformation of markets” as the government prepares to implement its crypto regulatory framework; the UK is advancing stablecoin and crypto asset legislation separately from the EU’s MiCA framework, aiming to attract crypto firms post-Brexit while maintaining consumer protections. Ledger put its US IPO on hold due to market volatility, pausing plans for a listing that had been explored at a $4 billion valuation; the French hardware wallet maker joins Kraken and Consensys in reassessing timing due to market conditions. Fireblocks CEO Michael Shaulov argued Wednesday that quantum-proofing Bitcoin is a coordination problem, not a technical one; the post-quantum signature schemes exist and work, but getting the fragmented Bitcoin ecosystem (miners, wallet providers, exchanges, node operators) to upgrade simultaneously is the actual unsolved challenge.  Powered by https://myriad.markets/markets
