Bitcoin momentum is fading following drop to $76,000 as analysts warn a loss 
of key support at $74,000-$76,000 could trigger a deeper BTC price correction.

A full audit of the XRP Ledger&#8217;s validators, custody systems, wallets, and 
networking layers is now underway, led by quantum security firm Project Eleven 
in collaboration with Ripple. The review is part of a broader push to prepare 
the XRP Ledger ecosystem for a future where quantum computers could threaten 
the cryptographic systems that blockchains currently rely on. Related Reading: 
XRP Will Go ‘Higher, Much Higher,’ Analyst Says, Betting On Explosive Breakout 
Project Eleven&#8217;s Scope Goes Beyond Research Project Eleven described the 
collaboration as one of the first major efforts in the industry to move post- 
quantum blockchain security out of the theoretical stage and into real-world 
deployment. The firm said the work will produce actual code, real-world 
performance testing, and a roadmap toward production. Plans also include 
building hybrid signature systems that combine current cryptographic standards 
with quantum-resistant protections, along with a prototype quantum-secure 
custody wallet. Alex Pruden, CEO of Project Eleven, said most conversations 
around quantum risk in the blockchain space have stayed at the research level. 
Ripple, he said, is treating it as a practical engineering problem. The $XRP 
Ledger is built for the Quantum Era. It runs on a native account based 
architecture with built in key rotation. This allows businesses, projects, and 
users to seamlessly switch to quantum-resistant signatures while keeping the 
exact same r-addresses their customers… https://t.co/ydDVSrdFkL

US government has set a 2035 deadline for federal systems to move away from 
encryption standards considered vulnerable to quantum attacks. Google and 
Cloudflare have both targeted 2029 for their own transitions to quantum-safe 
systems. XRP Ledger&#8217;s Built-In Advantages The XRP Ledger Foundation said the 
network is not starting from scratch. According to the foundation, XRPL 
already supports key rotation and coordinated validator upgrades, features 
that give it structural advantages as the broader ecosystem moves toward 
quantum-resistant cryptography. One detail the foundation highlighted: users 
and businesses will be able to switch to quantum-resistant signatures without 
changing their existing XRP wallet addresses. Those addresses, known as 
r-addresses, are already recognized by customers. Keeping them intact during a 
migration removes a significant technical and operational hurdle. J. Ayo 
Akinyele, head of engineering at RippleX, said the goal is to have XRPL 
production-ready well before quantum threats become a real danger. Related
