Qubic Shifts Focus to Dogecoin After Brief Monero Hashrate Grab

Community miners redistributed hashpower to stabilize Monero before Qubic’s pool voted to target Dogecoin next.

Overview

  • Kraken paused Monero deposits as a precaution after a Qubic pool claimed more than 50% hashrate control; trading and withdrawals remain operational.
  • Qubic said it executed a six-block reorganization that orphaned roughly 60 blocks of Monero’s blockchain.
  • Reported miner countermeasures, including increased P2Pool adoption, have reduced Qubic’s apparent dominance with no confirmed double-spend losses.
  • Monero’s XMR price initially dropped by as much as 14% before partially rebounding on signs of network stability.
  • In a community vote, Qubic’s members chose Dogecoin over Zcash and Kaspa as their next proof-of-work network target.
