Moody\'s says bitcoin quantum response deadline is 2030

Global credit rating agency Moody\'s warned that responding to quantum computing is no longer a long-term task for bitcoin and the digital asset industry. It said U.S. executive orders signed by President Donald Trump increased pressure on the crypto industry to show it can defend core cryptography, bringing forward federal post-quantum migration goals from 2035 to 2030-2031. Moody\'s said quantum-capable attacks could undermine public-key cryptography and make losses hard to reverse in on-chain transactions.

OpenStandard has unveiled OpenUSD, a stablecoin that shares reserve income with distribution and payment partners rather than paying returns directly to holders. The project is positioned as a shared infrastructure with more than 140 named partners, including Visa, Stripe and Coinbase.

The model comes as U.S. policymakers debate restricting yield on payment stablecoin balances.

OpenUSD launches with Visa and Mastercard as ex-Ripple engineer says XRPL was 15 years ahead

OpenUSD, a stablecoin project involving about 140 financial firms including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and BlackRock, has launched, renewing attention on the early design philosophy of the XRP Ledger. Former Ripple principal engineer Matt Hamilton said the project’s structure is effectively the same as what XRPL envisioned when it was first designed in 2012. He said XRPL was built for banks to issue their own stablecoins and exchange them on one network.
