XRP has formed a death cross on an hourly chart, a short-term bearish signal, after four straight sessions of declines that pushed it as low as $1.11. The market is watching $1.29 as near-term resistance and around $1 as key support, with XRP trading between $1.05 and $1.29. Separately, the Ripple ecosystem reported security work on XRPL lending features, a xrpld 3.2.0 maintenance update and Ripple’s participation in Flutterwave’s Series E round.

A plan has been presented for Ethereum to prepare post-quantum security at the account level without a network-wide upgrade. Nico (니코), head of the Ethereum Foundation privacy project Kohaku, said the structure could be implemented at a cost of about $0.07 per account. The proposal seeks to verify quantum-resistant signatures on Ethereum’s execution layer without a hard fork or added precompiles, and includes formal verification steps. Further security audits are planned.
