With Bitcoin (BTC) price having underperformed Gold (XAU) and the broader United States stock market in 2026, Matthew Sigel, the head of digital assets research at VanEck, has made a bold prediction. Bitcoin price could hit $160,000 if it reclaims its all-time high relative to gold, Sigel said.

As such, Sigel suggested that BTC price could easily surge beyond his target, since the prediction is pegged on the flagship coin catching up to where equities are

A new XRP market thesis is circulating ahead of the Senate markup of the CLARITY Act on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at 10:30 AM ET, with XRP community member and developer Vincent Van Code arguing that regulatory clarity could turn XRP Ledger liquidity from a speculative narrative into institutional market structure. The argument centers on whether legal safe harbor for digital assets would allow major banks and payment networks to use XRPL liquidity pools at production scale.

He framed the legislation not merely as another policy milestone, but as the missing legal layer for large regulated financial institutions to engage more directly with on-chain settlement infrastructure.

Institutions with existing MPC infrastructure can migrate to quantum-resistant wallets through a simple code upgrade. Wallet-level upgrades alone cannot fully protect users if underlying blockchain networks do not follow with protocol changes. Quantum-proof wallets are becoming a priority for crypto companies as the threat of quantum computing draws closer. Firms are now upgrading their wallet infrastructure faster than blockchain networks can update their core protocols. The concern stems from estimates suggesting a “Q-Day” scenario could arrive as early as 2030. One recent report by Project Eleven warns that quan
