Gox CEO Mark Karpelès reported tampered Ledger devices as early as December 2025. Security researcher Joe Grand separately reported a Nano X containing a malicious hardware implant to Ledger on March 4, 2026, and that Ledger confirmed his findings at the time and said it was investigating internally. Both questioned whether Ledger failed to warn customers promptly; Ledger declined to comment further beyond its public statement on X, raising fresh scrutiny of the company’s handling of the ongoing CryptoBilis supply chain incident. Nine crypto firms, including Hacken, Midnight Foundation, Quantus and Postquant Labs, announced the formation of the Quantum Alliance to develop shared quantum-resistant security standards and publish migration guidelines for networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The alliance estimates roughly 6.4 million BTC, or 30.2% of total supply, carry exposed public keys, including about 1.1 million BTC attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto. Postquant Labs CTO Richard Carback said the threat could materialize by 2028 and advocated moving at-risk coins rather than freezing them. Fidelity Digital Assets reported that Bitcoin's correlation with the 10-year real interest rate has turned positive and exceeded 0.6 in 2026, a record high.
