July 9: Quantum Security Moves to the Forefront

Crypto firms continue preparing for the future as BitGo launches quantum-resistant security tools for institutional Bitcoin wallets, while Aave rolls out Stable Vaults to simplify stablecoin yield for fintechs and institutions. Matt explains why quantum computing is becoming a real security consideration for Bitcoin and why the next phase of crypto infrastructure is already being built long before it's urgently needed.

The episode also covers Stripe-owned Privy's new Solana transaction routing tool, the growing uncertainty surrounding the Clarity Act in Congress, Senator Ron Wyden's effort to protect non-custodial software developers, and new data showing crypto hacks reached a record 207 incidents in the first half of 2026 despite total losses falling sharply. Matt also discusses whether companies like Strategy are approaching the point where institutional Bitcoin ownership could begin affecting the network's long-term decentralization.

Happy Hodling, Everyone.
