[Bitpush] The quantum computing threat is a bit overhyped.
Latest research shows that a quantum computer truly capable of breaking modern encryption systems is basically out of reach before 2030. But that doesn’t mean we can just sit back and relax—a leading investment firm has proposed a smart approach: adopt hybrid encryption schemes now.
Why? Because there’s an attack method called “store now, decrypt later with quantum computers.” This technique does pose a significant threat to traditional communications encryption, but its impact on blockchain digital signatures is limited. So, on-chain projects don’t need to rush to change their signature algorithms—they can take their time.
However, Bitcoin faces some unique troubles. Its governance mechanism is notoriously slow to change, and there are many early coins that may already be lost, sitting in addresses highly vulnerable to quantum attacks. A migration plan needs to be prepared in advance. Privacy chains face even more urgency, as their transaction data is already encrypted and must be protected from quantum threats as soon as possible.
Ultimately, compared to distant...

Recently, an institution has been aggressively buying the dip in Ethereum, purchasing nearly $200 million in a short period, while on-chain veterans have chosen to short, increasing their short positions to $21 million, indicating intensifying market divergence. Meanwhile, there have been consecutive net outflows from ETFs, making the overall situation complex.

Aztec's token public sale was successful, with a total subscription amount of 19,476 ETH and 16,741 participating addresses, demonstrating strong support from long-term users. Holding 200,000 AZTEC tokens allows you to start earning block rewards. The TGE requires an on-chain governance vote to be triggered and is expected to unlock as early as February 11 next year. Only those who participated in the sale have voting rights.

Institutional funds are pouring into the crypto sector, with the digital asset custody market expected to grow to $683.38 billion in 2024. Despite increased regulation and liquidity adjustments, 55% of hedge funds still hold digital assets, reflecting that cryptocurrencies are gradually becoming mainstream investment assets.

[Crypto World] The high costs of traditional telecom networks have always been a persistent problem, but DePIN is solving it in a smarter way—by turning your idle home Wi-Fi router into a money-making network node.
Let’s look at real-world examples: Helium Mobile uses community-deployed hotspots to expand network coverage; Nodle goes a step further by turning smartphones into mobile base stations; DIMO is even more impressive, directly connecting over 425,000 cars to share driving data. The core of this model is token incentives—contribute bandwidth or computing power, and you get rewarded with tokens.
How attractive is this model? Some institutions predict the entire DePIN market could reach $3.5 trillion by 2028. For telecom companies, costs can be reduced; for users, the connection experience is smoother and can automatically switch networks. Node operators also benefit, as stable token rewards keep participation enthusiasm high.

【比推】美国金融服务商 Clear Street 最快明年1月要IPO了。这家机构这两年在加密股票承销圈子里挺活跃，帮不少加密财库公司（DAT）搞过股票发行，Strategy 那边的好几轮融资都有他们身影，甚至特朗普那个媒体科技集团的承销也是他们接的活。传统金融玩家盯上加密赛道的案例又多了一个。

Next year may see an IPO showdown between OpenAI and Anthropic, as Anthropic prepares to go public and raise significant funds, with a potential valuation exceeding $300 billion. This will drive the development of the AI industry chain, and investors can participate through stablecoins, but should be cautious in controlling risks.

[Crypto World] PIPPIN has surged over 80% in the past day, with a huge whale aggressively buying in behind the scenes.
On-chain data shows that two mysterious wallets almost perfectly timed the market—rushing to build positions right before and after the price took off, pouring a total of $1.5 million into PIPPIN within 24 hours.
Specifically: the address HWBDGG is currently holding $4.47 million worth of PIPPIN, definitely a big player; another wallet, DywiW8, is not far behind, holding $636,000. This move was extremely precise—either they got insider information in advance, or they have extremely strong confidence in this token.

A well-known whale has been actively adjusting positions in a short period, closing ZEC short positions and increasing BTC and SOL shorts, with total holdings reaching $24.18 million. After a series of maneuvers, they turned a floating loss of $300,000 into a profit of $570,000. Trading history shows that starting with a principal of $3 million, they experienced significant gains and losses, but have recently returned to profitability with 15 consecutive wins.

Recent volatility in SOL's price has attracted attention. Although a bullish engulfing pattern has appeared, trading volume is shrinking and the market is exhibiting strong wait-and-see sentiment. MACD shows no clear trend, and KDJ has entered the oversold zone, suggesting a potential rebound. It is recommended to watch 123.86 as a buying point and set a stop loss at 123.24. Exercise caution in operations.

Recently, a newly created wallet address received 22,676 ETH, worth approximately $68.86 million, from BitGo, which may be related to BitMine. This large transfer has attracted market attention and serves as a reminder for investors to monitor whale fund movements.

Circle has added 2 billion USDC within a week, bringing the circulation to 78 billion. Its reserve structure is strong, with $78.1 billion in assets mainly invested in low-risk instruments such as overnight repurchase agreements and short-term government bonds, demonstrating continued market demand for compliant stablecoins.

ETH’s recent price has been fluctuating between 2740.8 and 3210.13. Despite a slight increase, it is overall down compared to the day before yesterday. Market trading volume has shrunk, and both MACD and KDJ indicate bearish dominance, with key support at 2977. Taking a wait-and-see approach may be a more prudent strategy.

The debate over Tether's financial security has resurfaced. Arthur Hayes is concerned that a shrinkage in its reserve assets could pose problems, but James Butterfill from CoinShares believes these concerns are unfounded, pointing out that Tether’s reserve assets and surplus data show no systemic risk. Tether’s profit for the first three quarters of this year reached $10 billion, demonstrating its strong earning capacity.

[Bitpush] There is a community bank in Texas called Monet, which has recently started offering cryptocurrency loans. The bank claims to specialize in digital asset infrastructure.
Interestingly, the owner of this bank is a billionaire and was one of the major donors to Trump's campaign back in the day. According to their official website, they have big ambitions—they want to become a top player in digital asset finance and provide various innovative solutions for the digital economy.
However, in reality, the bank is quite small. State records show that its total assets are less than $6 billion, and its capital is just over $1 billion—a typical community bank in terms of size.
The institution was actually founded in 1988 and was originally called Beal Savings Bank. The founder, Andy Beal, is a legendary figure—both a poker expert and one of the main sponsors of Trump’s 2016 campaign, even setting up a political action committee specifically to support him. Now this old

At a blockchain event, a vintage T-shirt featuring the Terra Luna logo sparked a nearly twofold increase in the price of LUNC. This phenomenon was driven by a combination of factors, including exchange support, token burn mechanisms, and legal hearings involving the project's founder. It demonstrates the interplay between market sentiment and substantial positive developments, highlighting the emotion-driven nature of the crypto market.
