Bitcoin Critic Mark Carney's Chances of Winning Canadian Election Climb
Bitcoin critic and CBDC fan Mark Carney is favored to win Canada's election later this month, according to both crypto betting markets and other prediction models. It was just earlier this month that 74% of speculators had bet on the former Bank of England boss—who took over as prime minister from Justin Trudeau in March following a party vote—winning the prime minister election on April 28 on prediction market MYRIAD. But that likelihood has now soared to over 82%, while Bitcoin-friendly libert...

Why America’s Biggest Crypto Company Is Trying to Stop a Pro-Crypto Bill From Passing

Quantum Computers Take Massive Step Forward for Cryptography
A team of researchers from JP Morgan Chase, Quantinuum, and others has shown that quantum computers can produce “certifiably random” numbers, potentially improving how we secure everything from banking to voting systems. It turns out that the random numbers some computer programs use aren’t so random. In cryptography—the tech underlying two-factor authentication and passkeys for instance—random numbers are generated to secure systems from hackers. But traditional computers typically use algorith...
