According to CoinShares, Bitcoin's exposure to quantum attacks is real but remains decades away, leaving time for potential soft-fork defenses. Meanwhile, focus is shifting to application-layer changes in the $85B creator economy, where SUBBD uses AI tools and Ethereum-based contracts. The project reports $1.47M raised, a first-year 20% APY staking option, and a presale price of $0.0574925.

On 9 February 2026, Ethereum on-chain activity reached a new milestone, with mainnet monthly transactions climbing to roughly 70.4 million. At the same time, ETH is trading around 60% under its all-time high, even as traders highlight the $4,000 level as a key technical threshold. Binance's Ethereum reserves have declined to about 3.7 million ETH, pointing to reduced immediate sell-side supply.

From Feb. 9 to 13, U.S. data releases—including December Retail Sales on Monday, the January Jobs Report Wednesday, and January CPI Friday—may shape crypto sentiment after last week's $700 billion slide. Over the weekend, total market cap hovered near $2.45 trillion as Bitcoin rebounded to $71,000 and Ether touched $2,100.

Bitcoin moved back above $70,000 after a choppy 2024, with a weekly close below $68,000 seen as invalidation and a potential $60,000 retest. Projections point to $150,000–$200,000, while the path includes $85k–$92k and possibly $100,000 by year‑end. Bitcoin Hyper uses SVM and has attracted $31.3M, with tokens at $0.0136753.

Jack Dorsey's Block Inc. is preparing to cut about 10% of its workforce to limit total headcount to 12,000 employees, focusing on efficiency and agility rather than pure expansion. In parallel, the Bitcoin Hyper Layer 2 project, which integrates the Solana Virtual Machine with Bitcoin to address latency and fee constraints, has attracted more than $31.3M through its HYPER token presale. The token is priced at $0.0136753 during the sale, and the project promotes immediate staking with a 7-day vesting period for participants.

Ripple's XRP has suffered a 31% monthly decline and, on the daily chart, has fallen below the key $1.2 swing low, signaling a structural breakdown in price. The token is now interacting with a broader demand zone near $1.00, where remaining buy orders appear limited and sellers still dominate. On the 4-hour timeframe, price action shows a corrective bounce toward an internal supply region around $1.5, which traders may view as resistance within an ongoing bearish trend.

Bitcoin Core developer Peter Todd said in recent days about 10% of global hash power went offline, coinciding with a slide in network difficulty to 125.86 T. On Nov. 11, difficulty was 155.97 T.

Dogecoin's realized acquisition cost has slipped to a local low while holder activity remains steady, putting the $0.11 area in focus. A heatmap indicates roughly $1.63 million in resting liquidity near that level as price consolidates in a flag and Stochastic RSI turns up from oversold. Whether fresh inflows can draw price into the zone remains to be seen.
