Billionaire investor Tim Draper told Benzinga that holding Bitcoin is safer than fiat deposits in banks because quantum computers “will crack banks faster than they crack blockchains.” He believes that even if Bitcoin faces a quantum attack, the community can fork and roll back to a safe state. Draper also stated that Bitcoin is currently at a low point in its four-year cycle and reiterated his long-term view that Bitcoin may surpass the dollar in importance in the future. However, Jameson Lopp, Chief Security Officer at Casa, previously said that completing a quantum-resistant upgrade for Bitcoin could take about ten years, and the speed at which the banking system upgrades to quantum threats may be much faster than the Bitcoin network.
The European Commission officially submitted the 21st round of sanctions against Russia on June 9, focusing on core areas such as energy, financial services, and crypto networks. The proposal aims to ban transactions with 11 crypto platforms (located in Belarus, Georgia, Nigeria, Panama, UAE, and Marshall Islands) that assist Russia in bypassing Western sanctions. In addition to the crypto sector, the proposal expands restrictions on traditional finance, planning asset freezes on nearly 90 major banks and comprehensive transaction bans on 35 banks inside and outside Russia. The sanctions are still subject to unanimous approval by all EU member states before they can take effect.
