from QuantAlpha Digital Asset Update

• A hacker drained over $130 million in a Coldcard hardware wallet exploit — a major breach that shakes confidence in self-custody security. • Ethereum researcher Justin Drake urged the industry to prep for "bunker mode," warning AI could crack ECDSA signatures within months — a flagged risk to the cryptography securing most BTC and ETH. • EU regulators gave crypto platforms three months to delist unauthorized stablecoins — a MiCA deadline that could shift liquidity toward compliant issuers like USDC.
