Odaily Planet Daily News: The Solana Foundation has announced that its core development team, Anza, has reached an agreement with Jump Crypto's Firedancer on a potential post-quantum solution, planning to introduce a new digital signature scheme called Falcon. Although the threat of quantum computing is not expected to materialize for several years, Solana has already developed a phased upgrade roadmap. The plan includes ongoing research into Falcon and other alternatives, introducing post-quantum schemes for new wallets when necessary, and ultimately completing the migration of existing wallets. Currently, the quantum-resistant primitive Winternitz Vault, developed by Blueshift, has been operating on Solana for over two years. The Solana Foundation stated that the network's high-speed, low-latency design is compatible with such solutions and expects the migration will not significantly impact performance.
Odaily Odaily Planet Daily News According to six sources, NATO is considering ending its recent practice of holding a summit every year. Since 2021, NATO leaders have met every summer, and this year's meeting was scheduled for July 7-8 in the Turkish capital, Ankara. However, according to a senior European official and five diplomats from NATO member states, some members are actively pushing to slow down the pace of these summits. One diplomat stated that the summit originally planned for 2027 in Albania is likely to be postponed to the autumn of that year. Furthermore, NATO is also considering completely canceling the summit in 2028 – which coincides with the US presidential election year and would be the last full calendar year of a potential Trump term.

Odaily reports that Circle Ventures, Consensys, and Joseph Lubin have announced their support for the DeFi United initiative, aimed at mitigating losses caused by the Kelp DAO vulnerability. Circle Ventures is supporting the ecosystem by purchasing AAVE tokens. Consensys and Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin have confirmed the provision of 30,000 ETH to DeFi United. To date, DeFi United has raised over 132,000 ETH, with a total value exceeding $300 million. These funds will be used to cover bad debts resulting from an attacker minting unbacked rsETH via the LayerZero bridge and borrowing assets on Aave. Previously, Aave proposed a donation of 25,000 ETH, while Lido DAO, Ether.fi, and Kelp have respectively proposed or pledged donations of 2,500 ETH, 5,000 ETH, and 2,000 ETH.
Odaily reported that the Avalanche Foundation posted on platform X, stating its support for DeFi United. This is a coordinated action aimed at restoring rsETH collateral support following the incident on April 18. DeFi is undergoing public stress tests with transparent ledgers and real accountability, whereas traditional financial systems often require months or years to complete such repairs. The Avalanche Foundation expressed its support for Aave and the broader DeFi ecosystem.

Odaily reported that according to data monitoring from SoSoValue, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded net inflows for the 9th consecutive trading day on April 24, with a single-day inflow of $14.45 million. The total cumulative inflows during this continuous period amounted to approximately $2.1 billion, marking the longest net inflow streak since September 2025. Last week, ETFs saw total inflows of $823.7 million, with BlackRock's IBIT recording weekly inflows of $983 million, hitting a new high in nearly six months.
CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju stated that the current Bitcoin market is driven by futures, with open interest continuing to rise. However, aside from ETF inflows and MicroStrategy purchases, on-chain apparent demand remains negative. The chief analyst at CEX.IO pointed out that the recent price increase has been notably driven by short squeezes. Since April 13, the total amount of short liquidations has reached approximately $2.8 billion, far exceeding the $1.8 billion in long liquidations. Part of the ETF demand may stem from basis trading strategies, specifically buying IBIT while shorting CME futures to capture the spread. This strategy is market-neutral and not purely bullish. Currently, the options market's 25-delta skew is in negative territory, indicating that investors are paying a premium to seek downside protection.

Odaily reports that, according to monitoring by Omar Faridi, the net demand expansion of Bitcoin institutional investors has regained strong momentum, with growth reaching its highest level since the end of 2025. Data from Bloomberg, Glassnode, and Bitwise Europe indicates that buying pressure from professional institutions such as funds and asset management companies has significantly exceeded selling pressure. Industry analysis points out that institutional capital is typically characterized by large-scale transactions and long-term holding, and the renewed acceleration in net demand suggests that large players have strengthened their confidence in Bitcoin as a store of value. The current increase in institutional participation is improving market liquidity and is seen as a signal of Bitcoin's further consolidation within the global financial system.
According to Gate data, U.S. and Brent crude oil both saw their intraday gains widen to 2%, with the latest quotes at $98.92/barrel and $102/barrel.

Odaily Bernstein stated in a research report that the cryptocurrency market is currently showing signs of fundamental strengthening. Analysts pointed out that Bitcoin has formed a bottom near $60,000 and is now advancing toward the $80,000 mark. Institutional capital inflows, MicroStrategy's continued accumulation of Bitcoin through STRC products, and the deep integration of blockchain with financial infrastructure collectively create an asymmetric upside potential.
Bernstein emphasized that new distribution channels from Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF and Charles Schwab's spot trading platform have broadened participation. Currently, approximately 60% of Bitcoin's supply has not moved in over a year, with institutional demand reinforcing its holding base. Additionally, stablecoin supply has reached a record high of $300 billion, with its payment and settlement demand decoupling from market sentiment. The tokenized real-world asset sector has grown 110% year-over-year to $345 billion. Although quantum computing poses a long-term risk, analysts believe the industry has ample time to undergo a secure transition.

This amount includes a $2.8 billion private placement already disclosed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Approximately 85% of this offering has been subscribed by institutional investors. Bookbuilding is scheduled to close at 4:00 PM New York time on Monday, with pricing on April 28. Pershing Square USA will charge a 2% management fee with no performance fee, while voting control of Pershing Square is held by Ackman and core management.
