Bitcoin.com News Weekly Update – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Bitcoin starts 2026 near $93,000 — but some major analysts are warning that this year could be a pause, not a breakout.
In Episode 93 of The Weekly, we break down the biggest crypto stories from the past two weeks, including the controversial Polymarket trade tied to Venezuela’s regime change, conflicting institutional outlooks for Bitcoin in 2026, and why BlackRock quietly became the most profitable Bitcoin ETF issuer despite weak price action.
We also cover:
• Why some macro analysts think Bitcoin could lag gold in 2026
• Whether prediction markets should reward insider information
• BlackRock’s long-term vision for tokenized finance
• Stablecoins entering real-world payment rails via Korea
• Russia issuing crypto-backed loans
• Iran publicly accepting crypto for weapons purchases
A wide-ranging conversation on where crypto stands as it enters a more institutional — and geopolitical — phase.

Quantum computing is back in the Bitcoin conversation — not because it can break Bitcoin today, but because the timeline to prepare may already be shorter than many realize.
On this episode of The Weekly, Graham Stone and David Sencil break down why Bitcoin’s real vulnerability isn’t cryptography, but coordination. Upgrading Bitcoin’s security could take years, and waiting until a true quantum threat emerges may already be too late.
We also cover:
• Why Bitcoin can’t “just flip a switch” to become post-quantum secure
• Which Bitcoin addresses are most vulnerable
• The controversy around Satoshi-era coins
• Why quantum attacks may happen silently
• Coinbase’s push to become an “everything exchange”
• Prediction markets, state gambling laws, and the CFTC
• Stablecoin yield loopholes after the GENIUS Act
• Ripple’s RLUSD and its bank charter ambitions
