According to a CoinShares report, the potential emergence of practical quantum computers has sparked debate about the potential impact on Bitcoin's security. The Bitcoin quantum vulnerability is not an imminent crisis but a foreseeable engineering problem with ample time for adjustments.

From a technical perspective, the quantum risk primarily stems from the potential of Shor's algorithm to break ECDSA or Schnorr signatures, thereby exposing private keys. The main potential impact is on approximately 1.7 million bitcoins from early P2PK addresses, accounting for about 8% of the total supply, with limited possibility of causing systemic market disruption in the short term. Claims that 25% of the supply is at risk are considered significantly exaggerated, and the risk can be mitigated through address migration.

Long-term attacks are theoretically feasible within the next decade, but short-term attacks aiming to crack private keys within the 10-minute mempool window remain infeasible for decades to come. The potential volume of bitcoins entering the market due to private key leaks is estimated at around 10,000 BTC, posing limited impact on the price system. Holders can proactively migrate to secure addresses. The remaining targets are dispersed across approximately 34,000 addresses; even with a quantum breakthrough, a comprehensive attack could take decades to complete.

Odaily News According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a newly created address (0x929f...faE9) withdrew 30,000 ETH from Binance, valued at $63.48 million.

Odaily News: According to Coinglass data, the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index has remained in negative territory for 25 consecutive days, currently reported at -0.0864%. Since the beginning of 2026, it has been positive on only two days: 0.011% on January 6 and 0.0023% on January 15.

The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index measures the difference between the Bitcoin price on Coinbase (a major US trading platform) and the global average price. This index serves as an important indicator for observing capital flows in the US market, institutional investment activity, and shifts in market sentiment. A positive premium indicates that the price on Coinbase is higher than the global average, typically suggesting: strong buying pressure in the US market, active participation from institutional or compliant capital, ample USD liquidity, and optimistic investment sentiment. A negative premium indicates that the price on Coinbase is lower than the global average, usually reflecting: greater selling pressure in the US market, declining investor risk appetite, rising market risk aversion, or capital outflows.

Odaily News Ai Yi posted on X platform, stating that Binance account SMXKX ranked first on Binance Futures' 30-day live trading smart money leaderboard by shorting gold and silver, with profits exceeding $12.28 million.

Subsequently, it shorted gold at a short-term high on January 29th, ultimately reaching its peak profit of $12.38 million on February 5th.

Odaily News Trader Eugene, reflecting on last week's market conditions, stated that from a high time frame (HTF) market structure perspective, significant issues remain evident in the market. While Bitcoin's $60,000 level can still be considered reasonable support, he noted that the lesson learned from the previous cycle is: never go all-in on long positions without stop-loss protection.

Eugene pointed out that in bull markets, rallies tend to be more frenzied than expected, while in bear markets, declines are always more severe than anticipated. He acknowledged that it remains unclear where the bottom of the bear market lies and whether Bitcoin has already bottomed at $60,000, but emphasized that "survival is always the top priority." He advised traders to individually assess the risk for each operation and implement stop-loss strategies to guard against further market downturns.

Odaily News According to Arkham monitoring, approximately eight hours ago, a newly created wallet withdrew a total of 16.97 million Meteora (MET) from Binance in two transactions, valued at approximately $3.7 million.

Odaily News Analysis points out that the prosperity of the US prediction markets is built on an unstable foundation, primarily benefiting from regulatory arbitrage opportunities. For instance, there is currently no comprehensive system in various US states to regulate user participation in sports event betting through prediction market formats. Dune Analytics data shows that in 2025, sports-related transactions accounted for approximately 85% of Kalshi's trading volume and about 39% of Polymarket's. Devin Ryan, Head of Financial Technology Research at Citizens Bank, believes the market needs to establish robust integrity rules, and trading volume in non-sports markets needs to increase. Currently, the market size for predicting January CPI inflation data on Kalshi is less than $1 million, and the market size for predicting core inflation is under $30,000. Such liquidity is insufficient to attract institutional participation.

Furthermore, the current US prediction market exhibits characteristics of "fragile prosperity," with growth heavily reliant on regulatory gray areas and significant marketing investment. Once regulations tighten or user interest wanes, growth could face pressure. There is also a degree of regulatory contention. For example, US prediction markets typically argue that they fall under event contract trading regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), but state-level regulators adopt a more cautious stance. Related legal disputes may ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court. (BusinessInsider)
