Bitcoin Adopts BIP-360 Quantum Plan as New Tokens Burn Up to 99% of Fees

1 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · Jul 12

Summary

  • BIP-360, accepted in February 2026, gives Bitcoin its first outlined quantum-resistance path as investors weigh security risks ahead of the next crypto cycle.
  • Quantum computing is emerging as a potential threat to wallet encryption, and the report says major chains will need heavier cryptographic hardening to stay investable as tokenized real-world assets draw institutions.
  • 99% of trading fees on Hyperliquid’s exchange flow into HYPE buybacks and burns, helping remove 4.7% of maximum supply after more than $2 billion in repurchases since launch.
  • Lighter has already burned 6.3% of LIT supply through fee-funded buybacks, while Bittensor’s subnet model routes platform revenue into token repurchases tied to AI-service demand.
  • That holder-friendly design marks a break from the last bull market, when narratives often outpaced utility and majors such as Ethereum left holders down 8% over five years despite network growth.
