Bitcoin
Handles about $ 106,402.39 as Asia begins its trading day, up approx. 0.9%, which is a bit of a weekend drop that is attributed to significant outflows from Spot Bitcoin ETFs and increased geopolitical uncertainty.

Analysts are increasingly seeing BTC’s unconventional context with Japan’s 30-year government bonding outcome, as highlighted by mackerel strategist Weston Nakamura.
Nakamura suggests that this adaptation, recently stronger than traditional relations with US equities, involves a deeper global macro change in the financial markets, indicating Japan’s growing influence across dynamics across.
When investors navigate these complex macroeconomic factors, Bitcoin continues to test important support levels near $ 104,300, reflecting both caution and ongoing market volatility.
Crypto should prepare for quantum threat ‘linear’, not reactive: analyst
Crypto could face disaster if it continues to overlook Quantum Computing’s promotion threat, warns Rick Maeda of Presto Research, who recently published a report on quantum risks claiming the industry was unprepared.
An important barrier, he said in an interview with Coindesk, is an economic incentive issue as investors remain reluctant to finance quantum -resistant technology because he argued that “it is difficult to create a way to make money.”
“Crypto is under -prepared,” he said. “The biggest risk is just waiting too long.”
Maeda claims that blockchains dependent on elliptical curve cryptography (ECC) urgently need systematic preparation to withstand future quantum attacks.
“Preparation must come almost linearly because we can’t wait until the threat is real to start taking it seriously,” he said Coindesk in an interview. “At that time it’s already too late.”
Still, Maeda offers several warnings to balance the fear of Quantum Computing’s immediate capabilities.
He claims that the current quantum systems only work on about 10 logical quubits with high error speeds, significantly below the thousands needed to compromise the ECC. In addition, recent quantum progress is provided, such as Google’s processor development, with trade -offs in efficiency versus accuracy.
Although immediate panic is not needed, Maeda emphasizes the urgent for step -by -step, sustained effort to strengthen Cryptocurrency’s defense before quantum threats become a reality.
Meta -shareholders reject Bitcoin Treasury -Is proposal in landscaping voice
Meta shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to change some of the company’s cash reserves of $ 72 billion to Bitcoin, with only 0.08% of nearly 5 billion votes supporting the initiative, Coindesk reported earlier.
Suggested by Ethan Peck from Wealth Management Firm striving and supported by the Conservative National Center for Public Policy Research, the measure aimed to uncover inflation risks by using Bitcoin as a strategic treasury’s active.
Meta has previously ventured into crypto projects, especially the weight tableboard efforts in 2019, which later collapsed in the middle of the regulatory pressure. Despite recent withdrawals from ambitious Metaverse projects, the company continues to explore stablecoin-based payments across its platforms. Meta shares rose 3.5% Monday and traded to $ 670.09 each.
Crypto -Lobbyists encourage us the senate to focus on stableecoin -billing
Crypto Industry -Lobbyists urge US senators to remain focused as genius law, a bill aimed at regulating stablecoin issuers, facing potential distraction from non -related changes during its final Senate debate, Coindesk reported earlier.
Advocacy groups such as the Blockchain Association and Crypto Council for Innovation emphasized the need to maintain the tight targets of the bill, especially as senators behind the credit card competition law try to link their non -related legislation as an amendment.
Genius Act, targeting the regulation of stableecoiner such as Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC, has already received Bipartisan support from the Senate Bank Committee. Despite complications of non-related regulatory additions, analysts from Capital Alpha Partners StableCOin Bill proposal a 60-65% chance of being allowed this year, noting that success in the Senate would mark a significant milestone, although the representative house would also need to approve the legislation.
