According to ChainCatcher news, according to analyst Murphy, the on-chain holdings of new Bitcoin buyers (short-term holders) have continued to rebound, from a stage low of 3.38 million to 3.68 million. Although this scale is still more than 1 million coins away from the peak of the last bull market, analysts believe that investors' risk appetite is gradually recovering as the macro environment improves. From the perspective of historical cycles, the current size of new buyers' positions is roughly equivalent to the level in mid-August 2022 (the second half of the bear market). At that time, the BTC price rebounded from a low of about $19,000 to $24,000, an increase of about 26%; This round of BTC rebounded from $62,000 to $79,000, an increase of about 27%, with a similar rebound. It is worth noting that although the amount of funds required to accumulate the same amount of BTC is now 3 to 4 times higher than in the past, there are still a large number of strong new buyers entering the market. This phenomenon indicates a fundamental change in Bitcoin's market depth, capital capacity, and participant structure, further solidifying its position as a mainstream asset.

According to anonymous on-chain detective Wazz, hundreds of wallets have been emptied by the same address on the ETH mainnet, and many of them have not been active for more than 7 years. This incident is suspected to be a new type of real-time vulnerability attack. Crypto user Capitulation post-reviews indicate that the most likely vulnerability was caused by placing seed phrases in LastPass's secure notes in 2020/21.

ChainCatcher news, Nic Carter, a partner at Castle Island Ventures, posted a long article on the X platform pointing out that the quantum computing "canary warning" mechanism cannot provide enough buffer time for BTC, and classical computers can currently solve elliptic curve discrete logarithm problems (ECDLP) of about 117 to 130 bits, while quantum computing results below this threshold are often easily questioned about the existence of "classical cheating" or preset answers. Therefore, it is not possible to form an effective signal. Nic Carter believes that once quantum computers truly break through this classical limit, they may only be months away from directly attacking the 256-bit secp256k1 curve used by Bitcoin, while quantum signature migration will take years after Bitcoin is complete. Whether setting up a quantum crack bounty address or relying on Satoshi Nakamoto's early sleeping address as an on-chain warning, there is no guarantee that risks will be detected in advance, so the real feasible way is not to wait for a clear warning, but to start post-quantum (PQ) migration preparations immediately. Previously, BitMEX Research proposed a quantum freezing alternative: the "canary address" trigger mechanism.
