Bitcoin slid toward $73,000; Fidelity outlined crypto-market trends for 2026; private transactions were proposed for Ethereum — and more from the week. Pressure from Hormuz The leading cryptocurrency began the week by breaking above $77,000, a level that had capped gains in prior days. The main driver was a drop in oil prices after reports of positive momentum in US-Iran talks that would reopen shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Hourly chart of BTC/USD on Binance. Data: TradingView.   However, as the Middle East conflict escalated, prices slumped below $73,000. Beyond political and macro pressures, CryptoQuant flagged technicals: spot trading volumes fell to 2023 lows and a market-wide demand shortfall emerged. Bitcoin fell about 3.7% for the week, settling around ~$73,500. Source: CoinMarketCap.  Most major altcoins showed similar moves. Against that backdrop, BNB and HYPE kept rising — up 9.7% and 8.6%, respectively. The Hyperliquid token climbed to ninth by market value, displacing Dogecoin. Spot bitcoin ETFs continued to record outflows, which accelerated — $1.42 billion versus $1.26 billion the previous period.

The crypto fear and greed index even rose to 28 from 25, exiting the zone signaling extreme investor fear. Source: Alternative.me.  Total market capitalization slipped to $2.57 trillion. Bitcoin’s dominance was little changed at 59.3%, while Ethereum’s share stayed below 10%. Developers propose adding private transactions to Ethereum Facet co-founder Tom Lehman proposed including EIP-8182 in the upcoming Ethereum upgrade dubbed Hegota. The initiative would add a protected pool at the base layer for private transfers of ether and ERC-20 tokens. The system is planned as a contract with no admin keys or pause function. It would use Groth16 zero-knowledge proofs to validate transactions. Lehman explained that current mixing services underperform due to fragmentation. New pools struggle to attract users without an installed base, and without liquidity they can’t deliver adequate anonymity. EIP-8182 would create a single environment for all wallets and apps. Users could send hidden transfers to regular addresses or ENS domains without creating special accounts. What to discuss with friends? Forbes named five avenues for AI adoption in aviation. Researchers found religious bias in AI models. The FBI exposed a scam-center network and seized $8 billion in bitcoin. Startup Moth unveiled the first game for quantum computers. Fidelity outlines 2026 crypto-market trends Analysts at Fidelity Digital Assets reviewed the first half of 2026 and identified six structural trends shaping the industry. They argue the period is marked by a “technical retooling” of the ecosystem rather than a simple price rally. Among the main trends, Fidelity highlighted: a faster convergence of digital assets with traditional finance, helped by the arrival of options on spot bitcoin ETPs and progress in tokenization by major banks. a stronger focus on tokenholder rights. Projects such as Hyperliquid and Aave are actively adopting buybacks and revenue-redistribution mechanisms.  rising demand for compute for AI, creating competition with traditional mining. Since the start of the year, the 30-day average hashrate fell 8.8%, and difficulty 7.8%.  bitcoin’s technical resilience — removing the data cap in OP_RETURN did not bloat the blockchain; Bitcoin Core nodes’ dominance (~77%) supports consensus stability; interest in quantum-resistant upgrades is growing.     As a fifth point, Fidelity cited bearish forces early in the year: bitcoin dropped 13% amid high inflation and forced liquidations. Despite this, institutions continue building capital, and regulatory clarity is laying the groundwork for recovery. The final trend involves stronger gold positioning and a gradual move away from dollar infrastructure. 10,000 critical flaws: Anthropic reports first Project Glasswing results Anthropic published the first report on Project Glasswing — a vulnerability-hunting program using the Claude Mythos model. Over a month, about 50 partners uncovered more than 10,000 high and critical security issues. The bottleneck, the company said, was not discovery speed but validation and releasing patches. The AI scanned over 1,000 open-source projects and found 23,019 vulnerabilities of all severities. Of these, 6,202 were initially classified as “high” or “critical.” On additional review, 90.6% of findings were confirmed, including 62.4% requiring urgent fixes.

Socket identified an attack on crypto and AI developers. Experts warn AI is accelerating the quantum threat Artificial intelligence accelerates quantum-computing development and shortens the window in which modern cryptography may lose its strength. Project Eleven head Alex Pruden said machine learning is already used to optimize error correction — one of the key barriers to building quantum computers. AI is used not only for defense but also to find weaknesses in cryptography and software. NEAR co-founder Illia Polosukhin noted that AI has been accelerating scientific research for several years. He allowed that the next generation of quantum systems could be created with its help. He also pointed to a “collect now, decrypt later” scenario: encrypted traffic can be intercepted today for future decryption. Meanwhile, Quantus experts believe the crypto industry is not ready to move to post-quantum cryptography.  Wallets, exchanges, custodians, validators, bridges and governance systems are potentially at risk, they said in the study The State of Quantum: What Crypto Can’t Afford to Ignore. In the company’s view, crypto faces tighter constraints than conventional IT. In centralized services, cryptography can be updated via patches. In blockchains, user-controlled funds, distributed governance and public keys can remain on the network for years. What else to read?

London-based startup Moth has launched Quantum Backrooms, the first consumer game operating on actual quantum hardware, according to Quantum Computing Report. The application is inspired by popular creepypasta and features a procedurally generated maze of office and utility rooms. Unlike traditional games, where randomness is created by pseudo-random algorithms, the levels here are formed using quantum processors. Developers have linked the game mechanics to the architecture of QPU systems: individual qubits are responsible for sections of the map; quantum entanglement determines the structure and connections between locations; the environment changes depending on the state of the quantum system. The project utilizes existing installations from IBM and IQM. Moth emphasized that the game remains platform-independent and can operate on various quantum backends. Currently, Quantum Backrooms is available to a limited number of users as part of alpha testing. A public release is planned for late 2026. Quantum Equivalent of Early AI Applications The company compared the launch of Quantum Backrooms to early consumer experiments in generative AI, such as DALL-E and Magenta. The project's goal is to present quantum computing not as a laboratory technology but as a tool for a mass audience. Besides the game itself, Moth is developing a low-code/no-code platform for creating quantum applications without deep theoretical knowledge and technical skills. The company aims to build an ecosystem of consumer products around quantum computing before the industry achieves full hardware fault tolerance. Back in May, experts questioned D-Wave's claim of achieving quantum supremacy.

Japanese conglomerate SoftBank Group plans to invest approximately €75 billion in developing artificial intelligence infrastructure in France, according to Bloomberg. The project involves the construction of data centers with a total capacity of 5 GW. The first phase includes €45 billion in investments to establish a 3.1 GW AI computing cluster in the Hauts-de-France region by 2031. SoftBank's commitments largely stem from the personal relationship between the company's founder, Masayoshi Son, and French President Emmanuel Macron. They met during the president's visit to Japan earlier this year. During their discussions, the investor received a request for €100 billion and "began to seriously consider the matter." "I was very impressed by how personally Emmanuel Macron is interested in ensuring France's economic success, despite our investments being primarily focused in the US, as well as in Japan and Asia," Son said in an interview with La Tribune. SoftBank's initial plans include building data centers in Dunkirk, Boscèle, and Bouchain. The company also plans to develop additional sites across France, "strengthening the country's role as a leading European hub for next-generation digital infrastructure." European company Schneider Electric has expressed readiness to partner at the Dunkirk site to create an infrastructure center for AI and robotics manufacturing. Macron is expected to officially announce the investments during the Choose France summit, an annual event aimed at enhancing France's business appeal. SoftBank is part of the Stargate initiative, which aims to invest $500 billion in AI infrastructure in the US. In March, the withdrawal of project partners — OpenAI and Oracle — from plans to expand data centers in Texas significantly impacted the Japanese company's stock prices.
