Odaily reports: Polygon Labs has announced the completion of its acquisition of Coinme, a US-regulated crypto payment service provider, with plans to leverage stablecoin infrastructure to enter the payments market dominated by Visa and Stripe. Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron stated that the acquisition will help Polygon Labs own customer relationships and capture revenue that previously flowed to intermediaries; Polygon Labs has now become a payments-focused company that uses blockchain to move money. In January, Polygon Labs launched Open Money Stack to support stablecoin payments and cross-border transfers, and to charge fees for currency exchange and money transfers. Marc Boiron said the regulated payments business is expected to become profitable by 2027. Data shows that Visa's payment volume exceeded $12.3 trillion in fiscal year 2025, while Stripe's payment volume reached $1.9 trillion. Through the acquisition of Coinme, Polygon Labs will control more business processes in areas such as crypto asset, stablecoin, and fiat currency conversion, rather than handing customers over to third parties. Polygon Labs' unified payments platform is currently still in technical preview and not yet fully open; early users include Tazapay, Mesh, Toku, and Kira.

Odaily reports: Bitcoin News posted on X platform that former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès accused Ledger of failing to adequately alert customers to sophisticated hardware implants after learning of the relevant threat as early as March 2026, and of burying related warnings in Ledger Academy articles.

Gox experience, Karpelès fired back, saying he had trusted Ledger to learn from his failures and do better than he did. Karpelès also criticized Ledger for continuing to downplay the incident and questioned its communication with affected customers.

Odaily reports: Nine blockchain organizations announced on Thursday the formation of the Quantum Alliance, aimed at developing "quantum-ready" standards and establishing unified testing and validation methods for the quantum resilience of networks, wallets, and infrastructure.

The Quantum Alliance operates by reference to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), with founding participants spanning underlying protocols, privacy networks, Rollups, hardware wallets, and security auditing, including Quantus, Postquant Labs, Midnight Foundation, Keystone, Abelian, and Hacken. Its work is divided into four groups: blockchain migration, post-quantum zero-knowledge systems, wallet security, and cross-chain compatibility.

The Quantum Alliance stated that elliptic curve signatures leave approximately 6.04 million BTC, about 30% of the total supply, exposed to quantum risk. If a sufficiently capable quantum computer runs Shor's algorithm, it could theoretically reverse-engineer private keys and take control of the related assets.

Citing multiple forecasts, the Quantum Alliance said the relevant risk window may lie in the late 2020s, with one model marking March 2028 as an earlier window; a Google Quantum AI study lowered its estimate of the number of qubits needed to break Bitcoin's cryptography to fewer than 500,000.
