BITCOIN JUST GOT TWO NEW DEFENSES AGAINST QUANTUM ATTACKS IN LAST 48 HOURS.
On April 8, Lightning Labs CTO Olaoluwa Osuntokun published a working prototype that solves a critical problem.
If Bitcoin ever activates an emergency shutdown of its current security system to block a quantum attack, millions of wallets would have no way to prove ownership and their funds would be locked forever.
His tool gives those wallet owners a backup way to prove they own their funds without triggering the vulnerability that quantum computers would exploit.
On April 9, StarkWare CPO Avihu Levy published a scheme that makes Bitcoin transactions quantum safe today without touching the protocol at all.
It works by quietly swapping out the part of Bitcoin's security that quantum computers can break, and replacing it with a different type of math that they cannot break, all while the transaction still looks completely normal to the Bitcoin network. The catch is cost, Each transaction requires $75 to $150 in computing power and cannot be sent through the normal network.
It goes directly to miners instead. It is a last resort tool for large Bitcoin holders, not something for everyday use.
Both are emergency measures.
The permanent fix, BIP-360, is still years away.
But two weeks after Google showed a quantum computer could crack Bitcoin's encryption in 9 minutes, developers delivered two working tools in two days.
Iran is charging ships a toll to pass the Strait of Hormuz, with payments being made in Crypto as per FT.
Tolls reportedly start at about $1 per barrel of oil, which translates to roughly $2 million per large tanker.
On an average day, around 140 ships pass through the strait within 24 hours. For 140 ships, this can generate a revenue of $280 million daily, or nearly $2 billion in Bitcoin or crypto per week.
Just like US dollars now Countries will need to buy crypto to make these payments, which could significantly increase demand for any Crypto as reserve liquidity for international trade.
This can positions crypto as a global trade settlement medium, not just an investment asset.
A GOLDEN AGE FOR CRYPTO is coming sooner than you think.
The U.S. SEC has acknowledged "FLAWS" in its past enforcement actions to crypto companies, calling several cases a “ misinterpretation of federal securities laws”
The SEC dismissed 7 crypto-related cases, including those involving Binance and Coinbase
It admitted these actions were based on “INCORRECT INTERPRETATIONS”
In fiscal year 2025, the Commission made a necessary course correction in its approach to CRYPTO enforcement.
After years of uncertainty, this move can give the market a clearer direction.
The Trump administration is now making it happen, “ U.S. the world’s crypto capital”
В 2019 году ФРС начала расширять свой баланс и закачивать деньги в систему. Рынки это любили.
С тех пор как QT закончился в декабре 2025 года, ФРС уже закачала 160 миллиардов долларов.
Больше денег в системе означает больше резервов в банках. Больше резервов означает больше денег, поступающих на рынки. И исторически это было очень хорошо для акций и криптовалют.
