Clarity bill fails, reigniting digital asset tax controversy
This week’s key issue in digital assets was the Clarity bill, which failed to clear a U.S. Senate cloture vote and pushed bitcoin down into the $76,000 range. Unresolved disputes included stablecoin interest payments, whether developers and infrastructure providers fall under money-transmitter rules, and ethics rules tied to President Donald Trump’s crypto business. In South Korea, debate revived over the government’s plan to start taxing digital assets in 2027. Markets also revisited quantum-computing risks and tokenisation investment moves.

Why quantum computers could threaten Bitcoin security
A warning has emerged that if quantum computers become practical, they could undermine the safety of private keys, a core assumption behind Bitcoin security. Bitcoin Magazine explained how quantum computing differs from conventional computing and why that difference could pose a real threat. It said quantum algorithms could reach correct answers without checking every possible key one by one, potentially weakening elliptic-curve cryptography. The discussion focuses on structural risk and on when workable quantum machines may appear and how Bitcoin responds.

Korean game makers rewrite global playbook, moving beyond \'test in Korea then go overseas\'

At Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, firms including Krafton, NCSoft, Kakao Games and Com2uS Holdings showed new genres and conducted demos to gather feedback.
