JPMorgan sued over alleged role in $328M crypto Ponzi scheme

Investors have filed a proposed class action in federal court accusing JPMorgan of enabling a $328 million crypto Ponzi scheme allegedly run by Goliath Ventures by ignoring red flags and allowing the firm to use its banking infrastructure to collect and move funds. The suit claims JPMorgan was Goliath's primary bank for much of the scheme's operation and cites large transfers from a JPMorgan account to Goliath's Coinbase wallets. In a parallel federal criminal case, Goliath CEO Christopher Delgado was arrested and could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted, while plaintiffs' attorneys say more related complaints may follow as they pursue recovery for investors.

Bitcoin buyers 'in control' but trend won't change until this level breaks

Bitcoin has rebounded about 17% from below $60,000, and derivatives and onchain indicators suggest buyers are regaining control as demand returns, alongside continued spot Bitcoin ETF inflows. Analysts say the broader downtrend won't truly reverse unless BTC breaks and holds the $78,000–$80,000 area as support, a level that has repeatedly rejected relief rallies. Until then, Bitcoin remains range-bound after struggling to sustain moves above $70,000, with key support zones clustered from the high-$60,000s down toward the mid-$50,000s.

All 21 million Bitcoin is at risk from quantum computers

The article argues that while only about 25–30% of Bitcoin is commonly labeled "at risk" due to long-exposed public keys in older address types, in reality nearly all Bitcoin could become vulnerable as quantum computing advances. Even coins in newer addresses can be attacked at the moment they're spent, because public keys are briefly exposed in the mempool, potentially enabling "just-in-time" theft as quantum machines get faster. Proposed upgrades like BIP-360 could mitigate the easiest, long-exposure attacks, but fully protecting Bitcoin may require adopting post-quantum signatures—and experts disagree on how soon practical quantum attacks will be feasible.

Perp DEXs become the latest battleground for blockchains

Blockchains are increasingly launching or incubating perpetual futures DEXs to capture the bulk of crypto trading activity, which is dominated by derivatives. Advocates say active perp markets draw in market makers and institutions, boosting onchain volume through hedging and arbitrage; BNB Chain points to Aster as an example, while Aptos-backed Decibel reflects a broader trend of chains building key apps themselves.

But launching a perp DEX doesn't guarantee lasting liquidity. Historically, both in traditional finance and crypto, derivatives volume tends to consolidate around a small number of venues with deep order books and strong risk management, giving centralized exchanges an edge—though onchain platforms argue transparency and composability are valuable. The article suggests the outcome hinges on differentiation: unique features could sustain multiple ecosystems, but if platforms become too similar, liquidity may fragment briefly before clustering again around a few winners.
