Quantum computing advances may soon pose a real risk to Bitcoin’s security and mining process. A CryptoQuant report explored how advanced quantum algorithms could disrupt Bitcoin’s proof-of-work system. The report raised concerns about the network’s future resilience. Bitcoin mining uses computationally intensive tasks to solve cryptographic puzzles. These puzzles rely on the SHA-256 hash function. Quantum computers could speed this up significantly with algorithms like Grover’s. This means miners could find valid hashes much faster than with traditional systems. Faster Mining vs. Security Risks This “brute-force” calculation could accelerate mining, but it could also compromise Bitcoin’s proof-of-work security model. The…
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed its decision on the approval of options for BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA).

Canada’s equities regulator has excluded crypto funds from reduced margin eligibility. They did this because of risks like volatility, liquidity risks, and regulatory concerns, which make leveraged trading more expensive. The announcement was made on February 5. CIRO gave a new List of Securities Eligible for Reduced Margin (LSERM). This quarterly list shows which stocks can have lower margin rates. The reason why it is important to have a low margin is because financial institutions that qualify for lower margin rates enjoy better use of their cash and reduced trading costs. In the announcement, CIRO said, “Until further notice, cryptocurrency…

Renowned crypto commentator Aaron Arnold, host of Altcoin Daily, recently sparked a conversation about the potential for a fraction of Bitcoin to transform an individual into a multi-millionaire. Specifically, Arnold boldly stated in a tweet today that holding 0.001 BTC could make an investor a multi-millionaire in the years to come. He cited a chart from trillion-dollar asset manager Fidelity, which highlighted Bitcoin’s projected path over the next two decades. The chart depicted a future where Bitcoin’s floor price would gradually rise to around the billion-dollar mark by 2037.

Feb 6 (Reuters) – Brazil’s central bank chief Gabriel Galipolo said on Thursday that crypto asset usage in the country has surged over the past two to three years, with around 90% of the flow linked to stablecoins. Stablecoins are pegged to real-world assets, such as the U.S. dollar, and therefore fluctuate much less than other crypto assets like bitcoin. Speaking at a Bank for International Settlements event in Mexico City, Galipolo said policymakers see this trend as primarily driven by the use of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment, posing challenges for oversight and regulation. “Most of that is…
