Odaily Planet Daily News: Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn posted on X platform, stating that after in-depth discussions with multiple Bitcoin industry figures on the topic of quantum computing and Bitcoin, he believes that the market is gradually forming a consensus:

First, the approximately 1.1 million BTC held by Satoshi Nakamoto (distributed across about 22,000 P2PK addresses) should not be arbitrarily moved. Violating property rights to address quantum risks could undermine Bitcoin’s core value proposition. Even in extreme scenarios where these BTC are transferred, the market has strong absorption capacity, and risks can be further mitigated through solutions such as “Hourglass.”

Second, advancing research, testing, and signature compression of new cryptographic technologies like quantum-resistant (PQ) cryptography for Bitcoin is a positive direction. Contingency plans can be prepared in advance. However, prematurely pushing for protocol-layer implementation should be avoided to prevent consensus deadlock or the introduction of new, unverified risks. Even if there is only a 1% chance that quantum threats will impact Bitcoin, sustained research investment is worthwhile.

Odaily Planet Daily News: 10x Research founder Markus Thielen posted on X platform that Bitcoin has now risen above the 7-day and 30-day moving averages, with short-term and medium-term trends remaining bullish. It has gained 1.1% in the past week. News of continued institutional buying and ongoing accumulation by large corporate treasuries has further boosted market confidence. However, influenced by the historical pattern of "buy the rumor, sell the news," the market subsequently experienced a brief consolidation.

Markus Thielen analyzed that hints from White House advisors about an upcoming major announcement regarding national strategic reserves have also strengthened bullish market sentiment. With Bitcoin's dominance rate remaining above 60%, some altcoins are quietly forming a bottom driven by fundamental catalysts. Projects related to privacy coins and RWA infrastructure are particularly worth paying close attention to.

Odaily Odaily reports that Barry Silbert, founder of the Digital Currency Group (DCG), the parent company of Grayscale, stated in a post on the X platform that in 2015, the market had yet to realize the existence of a $2 trillion global demand for decentralized digital value storage tools like Bitcoin. At the time, the industry generally believed that Bitcoin itself was sufficiently private to serve as a relatively private global store of value and transfer tool. Now, as market awareness increases and privacy needs are more clearly identified, privacy coins like Zcash will benefit from this 'prophet advantage.'

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that crypto platform Uphold has been ordered to pay over $5 million in restitution to affected users for promoting CredEarn, a fraudulent crypto savings product. The investigation revealed that between January 2019 and October 2020, Uphold marketed CredEarn, offered by Cred LLC, as a "safe and secure" high-yield savings product, promising users it was "fully insured." However, Uphold failed to disclose that the returns actually came from issuing high-risk, small-dollar loans to low-income gamers in China, and that no such insurance coverage existed.

The New York Attorney General’s office further noted that Uphold did not obtain the necessary broker or commodity broker-dealer registrations while promoting the product. After Cred filed for bankruptcy in 2020, many users suffered losses. Under the settlement, Uphold will directly pay $5 million in restitution to harmed users. Additionally, any future funds Uphold recovers from Cred’s bankruptcy proceedings, totaling $545,000, will also be returned in full to the affected investors. (ny.gov)

Odaily reported that a crypto KOL posted on X platform, stating that the top address on the Bitcoin rich list, associated with Binance, is a wallet address starting with "3" and holds over 200,000 BTC. The KOL questioned the security of Binance concentrating such a large amount of Bitcoin in a single address, expressing concerns about the risk of private key collision cracking. In response, CZ said: "An address starting with 3 should be multi-sig, right? You'd need to collide more than 3 private keys? Trust the math."

Analysts believe the address likely employs a multi-signature mechanism. Even if a private key collision is theoretically possible, the actual difficulty of cracking it is extremely high.

Odaily reported on May 3 that Mojtaba Zarei, a member of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, disclosed new details of the Islamabad talks on social media. Zarei stated that the basis of the Islamabad negotiations was the permission of Iran's Supreme Leader. In addition to obtaining permission to negotiate, the content of the talks must also fall within the framework authorized by the Supreme Leader: When the US side sought to discuss nuclear technology issues, they were informed that the Supreme Leader had prohibited the delegation from discussing technical details on this matter; from now on, decisions on this issue will be made entirely by the Supreme Leader. Furthermore, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran has been banned from joining the negotiation team. (CCTV News)

Odaily Odaily reports that BlackRock has submitted a comment letter to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), opposing the reserve asset restrictions proposed in its draft rules implementing the GENIUS Act. In the comment letter, the firm specifically targets the rules for "permitted payment stablecoin issuers," calling for no quantitative cap on tokenized reserve assets.

BlackRock stated that the proposed restrictions are unrelated to regulatory objectives, and the risk of reserve assets should be determined by their credit quality, duration, and liquidity rather than whether they are held or transferred on a distributed ledger. This comment letter was submitted in response to multiple rule proposals from the OCC covering reserve composition, capital requirements, custody, and other related matters. (The Block)
