SEC adds crypto assets to Nov. 19 investment adviser compliance seminar

According to the information cited by Crypto Briefing, the move could shape future compliance expectations as well as market practice.

Europol says quantum computing would not break Bitcoin, but some wallets may face risk

Europol said in a new report that quantum computing is not expected to break the Bitcoin network itself, though it could create security risks for some wallets. The report draws a distinction between the resilience of the network and the exposure of certain wallet setups, framing wallet protection as a more immediate area of concern. According to the report, the threat that quantum computing could pose to cryptocurrencies highlights the need for proactive wallet security. Europol said the burden of protection is shifting toward individual users, rather than resting only with broader network design. The report also urged users to take steps to strengthen wallet security in preparation for possible future quantum-computing attacks. The item was cited by Techub News, with Crypto Briefing named as the source in the brief.

Nous Research launches Hermes Index to benchmark agentic AI models

Nous Research, an AI research firm, has introduced the Hermes Index, a new benchmark framework designed to evaluate agentic AI models. According to Techub, citing Crypto Briefing, the index is intended to provide a standardized way to assess this category of AI systems rather than relying on less structured comparisons. The benchmark puts its focus on two factors named in the report: cost efficiency and performance. That framing matters because enterprise buyers often weigh model capability against deployment cost when deciding whether to adopt AI tools at scale. The report says the index could affect enterprise AI adoption decisions. No additional technical details, methodology, or scoring breakdown were disclosed in the source brief. The announcement was published by Techub as a short news item.
