Quantum computers with 50 logical qubits are expected to emerge within the next five years, according to Sebastian Hassinger, host of The New Quantum Era podcast and author of the book by the same name. He believes this will be a "point of no return," after which classical simulation methods will become ineffective. Hassinger shared this forecast during a special edition of the Quantum Computing Report in a conversation with Yuval Boger, Chief Commercial Officer of QuEra Computing. The expert, who spent about 10 years at IBM Quantum and AWS, focused on his own consulting project, The New Quantum Era, starting in early 2026. According to Hassinger's assessment, the technology development roadmap will be as follows: Short-term: Advantage of neutral atom systems; Medium-term: Dominance of superconducting qubits; Long-term: Emergence of spin and photonic solutions. Hassinger noted that platforms based on neutral atoms show excellent scaling and error correction (LDPC codes), but their "Achilles' heel" remains a lower operational clock speed compared to superconducting systems. Boger described his colleague's forecast as "conservative," recalling recent successes by Harvard and QuEra in demonstrating 48 logical qubits. He referred to the opinion of QuEra's CTO Vladan Vuletic, who extended his confidence horizon in the leadership of neutral atoms from five to 10 years.  Boger also emphasized that thanks to new algorithms and memory efficiency (where the ratio of physical to logical qubits can reach nearly 2:1), the industry will not require millions of physical qubits to achieve practical supremacy. In May, Quantum Machines announced a median accuracy of 99.5% for two-qubit operations on Rigetti's commercial superconducting processor Novera.  On June 1, D-Wave Quantum revealed plans to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer with 100 logical qubits by 2032.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin introduced a concept for recreating synthetic assets based on options instead of traditional debt positions. He believes this approach will eliminate forced liquidations and reduce reliance on high-speed oracles. The developer noted that current DeFi protocol models are vulnerable during sharp market downturns. The use of secured debt leads to cascading liquidations, which create excessive pressure on the network and market prices. The proposed scheme is built on a pair of assets (P and N) with a strike price S and an expiration date M. They are issued by splitting 1 ETH and can be redeemed at any time. At expiration, an oracle records the index value, and funds are distributed between the owners of P and N. “Since the total payout is always 1 ETH, the possibility of liquidation is absent,” Buterin emphasized. The main advantage of the model, according to the programmer, is its resistance to manipulation. Existing protocols require real-time price updates, creating security risks and MEV vulnerabilities. The option structure allows for the use of "slow" oracles, similar to those used in prediction markets. To maintain stable exposure (e.g., pegging to the dollar), Buterin suggested using deep-in-the-money options with regular automatic rebalancing through a DAO or local scripts. Among the potential drawbacks of the concept, the developer highlighted: the risk of slippage during frequent rebalancing (costs can reach 2% per year); quadratic deviation from the target index; the complexity of implementing effective on-chain automation. Buterin added that he would feel “much safer” holding algorithmic stablecoins built on such an architecture, rather than those based on latency-sensitive price feeds. In early March, Ethereum's founder introduced a plan for two key changes to the network's execution layer: transitioning to a binary state tree and the long-term replacement of the EVM. In March, Buterin called for the ecosystem to be restructured around privacy and AI.

Shiba Inu is unlikely to reclaim a bullish market wave as inflows spike substantially.

In May, inflows to companies with digital asset treasuries (DAT) amounted to $180.5 million, compared to $4 billion the previous month. Nearly the entire volume was attributed to structures holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Source: DefiLlama. The figure is 95% lower than in April and approximately 93% below the average for January-May. This followed two months of heightened activity: $4.28 billion in March and $4 billion in April. Companies with Bitcoin on their balance sheets accounted for $177.85 million (about 98% of the total volume). For comparison, this segment attracted $3.88 billion in April. There were no significant changes for other assets: minor inflows were seen in Zcash and Sui, while Litecoin experienced an outflow of $1.89 million. End of the Passive Accumulation Era According to a report by Galaxy, amid the market downturn in 2025-2026, premiums for DAT firms' shares began to decline. Investors are no longer willing to pay extra just for access to Bitcoin or Ethereum through the stock market. Research by Everstake confirms this trend: staking accounted for an average of 60% of total revenue for companies that disclosed data. Meanwhile, the combined net losses of the analyzed firms amounted to $1.41 billion. Galaxy analysts highlighted several survival strategies for "DAT 2.0": Staking and MEV: operating own validators to earn rewards and transaction fees; DeFi strategies: providing liquidity in AMM and arbitrage on liquidations; Basis trading: using futures to generate returns with neutral risk; Mergers and investments: acquiring operational businesses within the ecosystem (media, infrastructure). An example of market transformation is Nakamoto's acquisition of media holding BTC Inc. and the UTXO Management division. This allowed the firm to generate income not directly dependent on Bitcoin's price volatility. Experts emphasize that the emergence of spot crypto-ETFs has deprived public companies of the monopoly on providing regulated access to crypto assets. Now, their viability depends on the effective use of their balance sheets rather than the volume of coins held. Earlier this year, corporate Ethereum holders faced billion-dollar "paper" losses following a market correction.

The state of Florida, USA, has accused the startup OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman of aggressively promoting the ChatGPT chatbot among teenagers and has demanded a ban on controversial practices along with the imposition of fines. This was reported by CNN citing court documents. In the lawsuit, Attorney General James Uthmeier claims that the company deliberately promoted ChatGPT while concealing the service's risks—from "instructions" for minors with suicidal thoughts to aiding suspects in planning crimes. The allegations relate to the law on unfair and deceptive trade practices, as well as software defects, lack of appropriate warnings, and creating a public threat. Florida seeks a court injunction against the disputed practices, civil penalties of up to $10,000 for each intentional violation, and compensation for affected parties. State authorities insist that ChatGPT harms children and teenagers by encouraging self-harm, fostering behavioral addiction, and leading to a decline in critical thinking skills. Furthermore, the free version lacks an age verification mechanism, and in the paid subscription, age can be entered without verification. A separate set of allegations concerns data. According to the document, OpenAI was aware of the service being used by children under 13, collected their personal information, and did not obtain parental consent. The lawsuit cites several incidents of violations. For example, an investigation into ChatGPT's role in the Florida State University shooting. It also mentions a case involving the murder of two graduate students: the accused had asked the chatbot for advice on eliminating evidence shortly before their disappearance. Another case is the tragedy of 16-year-old Adam Rayne, who, according to authorities, committed suicide after prolonged conversations with ChatGPT. "Sam Altman and ChatGPT chose the race for artificial intelligence over the safety of our children. They chose profit over public safety, and we will not tolerate it here in Florida," the prosecutor emphasized. Uthmeier stated that he expects support for the legal initiative from other states.In May, a court dismissed Elon Musk's lawsuit against Altman, Greg Brockman, OpenAI, and Microsoft due to late filing.

By the end of March, the funds of Russian citizens on foreign centralized crypto exchanges decreased by 23% compared to the previous two quarters, reaching 720 billion rubles, according to a recent financial stability review by the Bank of Russia. The regulator estimated that 60% of these assets were in Bitcoin, 8% in Ethereum, and 32% in other coins. According to the "Transparent Blockchain" service, during the reporting period, Russian traffic on foreign CEX websites fell by 32% to 56.5 million visits. Growth in Synthetic Investments Additionally, the central bank noted an increase in investments in Russian instruments linked to the value of crypto assets. As of April 1, they reached approximately 3.8 billion rubles. Specifically, the volume of bonds based on ETFs in circulation amounted to 4.1 billion rubles. Of this, 1.7 billion rubles or 42% was held by individuals and non-profit organizations. The central bank mentioned structured bonds linked to shares of iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF and iShares Ethereum Trust ETF from BlackRock. It also referred to Moscow Exchange futures on Bitcoin and Ethereum indices (MOEXBTC, MOEXETH) and on cryptocurrency ETF shares (IBIT, ETHA). The net open position of retail investors in cryptocurrency futures was estimated at 1.7 billion rubles, with about 5,600 participants. Approximately 3,800 people invested 354 million rubles in DFAs. Within auto-following strategies, 271 individuals invested 85.6 million rubles in synthetic crypto instruments.

In April 2026, the average monthly price of Bitcoin was $73,500—36% below the October 2025 level. Ethereum averaged $2,300—45% lower. The Bank of Russia attributed the correction to a shift of investors to traditional assets amid political tensions, expectations of a more hawkish stance from major central banks, and Bitcoin sell-offs by miners due to rising production costs. The Bank of Russia also highlighted stablecoins, whose capitalization has remained around $300 billion since October 2025, with transaction volumes reaching $1.5 trillion in March 2026.
