Former Ripple CTO says only this would make him consider unretiring

David Schwartz, a former Ripple chief technology officer and a core developer of the XRP Ledger, named Nick Bougalis as the only reason he would consider reversing his retirement. Schwartz said his condition for returning depends on a specific person, not money or the scale of work. He retired on Jan. 1, 2026 and now serves as Ripple’s honorary CTO, providing selective advice while remaining involved in releases such as the XRPL 3.2.0 update.

Trump signs quantum computing executive orders, urges deployment by 2028

U.S. President Donald Trump signed 2 executive orders to accelerate quantum computing development and speed the federal shift to post-quantum cryptography, reviving attention to potential risks for Bitcoin security. The post-quantum transition target was moved up to December 2031 from 2035. NIST must complete pilot conversions for federal systems by end-2027, while CISA will support critical infrastructure operators. The White House set a goal of deploying “scientifically useful” quantum computers by 2028.

Algorand Foundation unveils post-quantum migration roadmap, targets end-2027

Algorand plans to introduce quantum-resistant cryptography across its blockchain by the end of 2027. The Algorand Foundation unveiled a migration roadmap covering user accounts, wallets, institutional custody systems and core network infrastructure. It plans Falcon-based post-quantum accounts and hybrid accounts combining existing cryptography with quantum-resistant signatures, alongside changes to multisignature wallets and validator-related randomness. Chief Technology Officer Bruno Martins said the first milestone begins in 2026, with broad deployment targeted by end-2027.
