Buterin Names Quantum, AI as Ethereum Priorities; Ravencoin Falls 19%
Vitalik Buterin emphasized quantum resistance and AI integration as key Ethereum priorities, while BlackRock noted a shift in Bitcoin sentiment. Separately, Ravencoin's token price fell 19% amid blockchain reorganization concerns.
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, identified quantum protection and artificial intelligence as top priorities for the network’s development. The statement underscores Ethereum’s long-term roadmap focus on security and smart contract capabilities.
Meanwhile, BlackRock reported a turnaround in Bitcoin sentiment, hinting at renewed institutional interest. In other crypto developments, BTCPay offered a bounty of up to 3 BTC for the return of stolen coins, and Riot Platforms reportedly struck a $9.1 billion deal with AI firm Anthropic, as per Bloomberg.
The token Ravencoin suffered a 19% crash after warnings of a possible blockchain reorganization heightened market risk. Additionally, Bitfarms’ former US mining sites were shut down completely, while Russian USDT-related firms began cross-checking against a non-existent registry, raising compliance questions.
