After months of silence, the Balancer hacker has started moving again. Since yesterday, they have been swapping $ETH for $BTC in batches through THORChain, totaling 419 BTC exchanged so far. This action itself is not very reputable, and the market sees not just transfers but ongoing risks of security and money laundering. For $ETH , the selling pressure is more directly associated; for $BTC , they are passively dragged into it. $ETH $BTC

Is quantum computing approaching BTC's defense line? Record-breaking breakthroughs with a 512-fold surge, risks unfolding in advance Independent researcher Giancarlo Lelli successfully cracked the cryptographic keys used to protect Bitcoin, receiving the Q-Day Award from Project Eleven and a reward of 1 BTC. He combined publicly available quantum hardware with a variant of Shor's algorithm, successfully cracking a 15-bit key among 32,767 possibilities, a difficulty increase of approximately 512 times compared to the previous 6-bit record. What does this mean? The threshold for quantum attacks is lowering, and technological progress is accelerating toward practical application. Data shows that approximately 6.9 million BTC are in potentially vulnerable static addresses, including about 1 million BTC held by Satoshi Nakamoto. Countermeasures: The Bitcoin community has proposed BIP-360, introducing quantum-resistant address schemes Ecosystems like Ethereum, Ripple, Tron, and others are also advancing quantum defense upgrades Structurally, this is not a question of "whether it will happen," but "when it will fully arrive." In the crypto world, the greatest risk often comes from breakthroughs at the technological frontier. You can ignore short-term fluctuations, but you cannot ignore changes in fundamental rules. Those who truly can navigate cycles always prepare in advance for the future.
