Blockstream CEO Adam Back stated that Bitcoin should adopt an optional quantum-resistant upgrade scheme, rather than the mandatory freezing of tokens at risk from quantum threats proposed in BIP-361.The BIP-361 proposal suggests phasing out addresses vulnerable to quantum attacks over five years and ultimately freezing un-migrated tokens, including assets held by Satoshi Nakamoto. Google's latest research indicates that a superconducting qubit system may need fewer than 500,000 physical qubits to crack Bitcoin encryption in just a few minutes. Currently, about 6.9 million BTC are at risk from such threats. In response to the quantum threat, BitMEX Research proposed establishing a canary fund that would implement a full freeze only when expenditures occur from the relevant addresses.

According to market news, Blockstream CEO Adam Back stated at the Paris Blockchain Week that he supports the optional advancement of Bitcoin's quantum resistance upgrade and opposes the proposal to forcibly freeze quantum-vulnerable addresses. He emphasized that "preparation is much safer than hasty responses in a crisis" and pointed out that the Bitcoin community has the coordination ability to respond quickly to urgent vulnerabilities.Previously, the BIP-361 proposal ("Post-Quantum Migration and Legacy Signature Sunset") put forward by developers Jameson Lopp and five others advocated for the gradual elimination of quantum-vulnerable addresses over five years, ultimately freezing coins that have not completed migration— including approximately 1.7 million Bitcoins held by Satoshi Nakamoto.

According to CoinDesk, Blockstream CEO Adam Back stated at Paris Blockchain Week that Bitcoin developers should advance optional quantum-resistant upgrades as early as possible, even though practical quantum computers are still far from being realized.He pointed out that Taproot's flexible design can support the introduction of new quantum-resistant signature schemes without affecting existing users. Previously, Jameson Lopp and others proposed BIP - 361, which aims to gradually phase out addresses vulnerable to quantum attacks within 5 years and freeze Bitcoin that has not completed migration. Adam Back believes that the Bitcoin community can quickly coordinate responses in emergencies without the need for pre-established freezing arrangements.

Bitget's transparency report for the first quarter of 2026 released today shows that user trading behavior is accelerating its shift from single cryptocurrency assets to multi-asset portfolios. By the end of the first quarter, the trading volume of non-cryptocurrency assets such as commodities accounted for 20%-40%, while the proportion of cryptocurrency assets fell from its dominant position at the beginning of the year to 60%-80%. The fluctuation of this data marks that a panoramic asset portfolio has become a core strategy for high-net-worth investors.On the product and ecosystem level, Bitget released the white paper for the panoramic exchange UEX in the first quarter, further clarifying the direction of integration of cryptocurrency assets, tokenized assets, and AI-driven trading under a unified framework. At the same time, the platform continues to strengthen its AI trading infrastructure, successively launching Agent Hub and GetClaw, promoting the evolution of AI from an auxiliary tool to an execution system, allowing agents to access real-time market data, identify trading signals, and execute operations autonomously under established parameters.Bitget CEO Gracy Chen pointed out: "The boundaries between the cryptocurrency market and traditional finance are rapidly dissolving, and the explosive growth of CFD business indicates the arrival of a unified market. Users are no longer making binary asset choices but are engaging in efficiency games with diverse assets under the same logical system."

Charles Schwab's latest research shows that even a 1% to 3% allocation of Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) in a portfolio can significantly impact overall risk characteristics.The study points out that both Bitcoin and Ethereum have historically experienced declines of over 70%, far exceeding the volatility levels of stocks or bonds, thus even small allocations can have a noticeable effect during market fluctuations. Charles Schwab proposes two methods for allocating crypto assets: 1. Traditional Portfolio Theory Method: Allocating based on expected returns, volatility, and correlation, but the assumptions about returns vary greatly; if the expected return is below 10%, even aggressive investors may find it difficult to support large allocations. 2. Risk Budgeting Method: Determining the proportion of crypto assets based on the risk one is willing to take, shifting the focus from returns to risk tolerance, but the volatility of crypto assets may still exceed expectations. Charles Schwab emphasizes that crypto assets are high-volatility assets and are not suitable for all investors. Investors should cautiously allocate based on their risk tolerance, investment horizon, and familiarity with the assets, while also being aware of risks such as liquidity, theft, and fraud.

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart stated that as market demand continues to expand, the future assets under management (AUM) of Bitcoin spot ETFs are expected to surpass those of gold ETFs.Seyffart pointed out that Bitcoin has a more diverse role in investment portfolios, being viewed as "digital gold," a store of value, and possessing attributes such as asset allocation diversification, liquidity trading, and growth-oriented risk assets, while the investment logic for gold is relatively singular. In terms of capital flows, there has been a noticeable outflow from U.S. gold ETFs recently, with a net outflow of approximately $2.92 billion in March; during the same period, Bitcoin spot ETFs achieved a net inflow of about $1.32 billion, indicating a shift in capital preferences. Despite the divergence in capital flows, Bitcoin and gold prices have shown similar trends recently. Over the past 30 days, Bitcoin prices have dropped by about 8.07%, while gold prices have decreased by about 8.25%. Market views suggest that as investors' demand for digital asset allocation increases, Bitcoin ETFs are gradually shifting from "alternative assets" to mainstream asset allocation tools, and their long-term growth potential is being reassessed.

According to token unlocking data from the Crypto asset data platform RootData, Moca Network (MOCA) will unlock approximately 27.58 million tokens at 0:00 Beijing time on April 11, worth about 3.36 million USD.

According to a report by CryptoSlate, the latest report from the Cardano Foundation shows that its asset structure is shifting from a heavy reliance on ADA to a diversified allocation. By the end of 2025, the proportion of ADA is expected to decrease from 76.7% to 51.6%, while the proportion of Bitcoin will significantly increase to 25.5%, and cash and financial assets will rise to 22.9%.It is reported that the total assets of the Cardano Foundation amount to 287.5 million Swiss francs (approximately 361 million USD), a decrease of about 45% compared to 659 million USD at the end of 2024. Notably, the increase in the proportion of Bitcoin held by the Cardano Foundation is not due to additional purchases; its BTC holdings have decreased from 1,054 to 656 (a decline of 37%). The increase in proportion is mainly attributed to Bitcoin's relative resilience and an overall adjustment of the reserve structure. Currently, its reserve system is transitioning from being driven by a single token to a more diversified and actively managed allocation model.

Vitalik Buterin shared a post outlining his localization and privatization LLM deployment plan as of April 2026. The core goal is to prioritize privacy, security, and autonomy, minimizing the opportunities for remote models and external services to access personal data. This is achieved through local inference, local file storage, and sandbox isolation to reduce the risks of data leakage, model jailbreaks, and malicious content exploitation.In terms of hardware, he tested solutions including a laptop equipped with an NVIDIA 5090 GPU, an AMD Ryzen AI Max Pro 128 GB unified memory device, and DGX Spark, using the Qwen3.5 35B and 122B models for local inference.Among these, the 5090 laptop achieved approximately 90 tokens/s with the 35B model, the AMD solution around 51 tokens/s, and DGX Spark about 60 tokens/s. Vitalik indicated that he prefers to build a local AI environment based on high-performance laptops while using tools like llama-server, llama-swap, and NixOS to establish the overall workflow.

As the 2026 midterm elections in the United States approach, a new cryptocurrency political action committee (PAC) — Blockchain Leadership Fund (BLF) was officially launched on March 30, 2026. The fund was initiated by members of The Digital Chamber to support candidates promoting digital asset and blockchain-friendly policies across federal, state, and local elections.As a hybrid PAC, it can both make direct contributions to candidates and fund independent political advocacy efforts. Early supporters include Anchorage Digital and Chainlink Labs. The cryptocurrency industry is intensifying its efforts to influence the legislative process for digital assets in the U.S., especially during this critical period of discussions around regulatory frameworks like the Digital Asset Market Clear Act.Meanwhile, the well-known crypto super PAC Fairshake (supported by Coinbase, Ripple, and Andreessen Horowitz) faced setbacks in the Illinois primary in March 2026. Despite the PAC's strong performance since 2023, having raised $260 million during the 2023-2024 election cycle, supporting 33 winners in 35 primaries, and continuously accumulating $193 million by the end of 2025.However, its recent investment of nearly $20 million in the Illinois primary yielded poor results, with over $10 million spent opposing Democratic Senate candidate Juliana Stratton and nearly $2.5 million opposing Congressman La Shawn Ford, ultimately resulting in failure for both.

According to a report by The Block, payment giant VISA and Dune jointly released a report indicating that non-U.S. dollar stablecoins are gradually being used as actual "local currencies," with significant growth in their application in payment and settlement scenarios.Unlike U.S. dollar stablecoins, which are primarily used for DeFi yield strategies, non-U.S. dollar stablecoins are more commonly used in practical fund flow scenarios such as cross-border payments, remittances, B2B settlements, and foreign exchange management. Their assets are mainly distributed across user wallets, centralized exchanges, and institutional treasuries.Data shows that as of February this year, the total supply of non-U.S. dollar stablecoins reached $1.1 billion, an increase of about three times compared to January 2023; during the same period, the transfer volume surged from $600 million to $10 billion, an increase of over 1600%. Currently, there are more than 1.2 million addresses holding related stablecoins, and the number of active sending addresses has also increased from about 6,000 to 135,000.
