_Blockstream Research has published a comprehensive research report on lattice-based signatures for Bitcoin. This article summarizes the research, key findings, and related recommendations. __The full report can be viewed here__._
Digital signatures are the core mechanism authorizing Bitcoin transactions, and the Schnorr and ECDSA signatures currently serving this function incur extremely low costs. In 1994, Shor proved that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could crack both types of signatures. Although there is still widespread debate over when such machines will become available, we need to develop a viable post-quantum signature deployment plan before the problem actually arises.
Lattice-based signature schemes are a leading candidate for replacing existing signatures. Lattice cryptography has been studied for more than one

Hayes said Scott Bessent has pledged to support the bond market and push the Federal Reserve to continue printing money, potentially driving Bitcoin to $250k. He urged people to “get ready and start buying,” expecting Bitcoin to strengthen significantly over the next few years; if the market challenges his resolve, it could exhaust the reverse repo facility and inject approximately $2.4 trillion in liquidity. Another report said TGA funds are nearing $1 trillion and could be used for bond purchases.

A few years ago, we developed Vector, a mobile social trading app for on-chain assets. Our business grew extremely rapidly, starting from zero and quickly reaching a peak of over $20 million in daily trading volume, while the product's cumulative trading volume reached approximately $1 billion. During the first few months after launch, as growth accelerated, our user retention looked more like that of a social network than a traditional trading app—which was exactly what we had originally set out to build.
However, at the end of 2025, we sold the company to.

Lu Xun once said: Don’t strive to be better; strive to be different. If the ultimate goal is to seize pricing power over the underlying assets, then don’t go head-to-head with Nasdaq where it is strongest. Instead, move the battlefield to what you do best: Perps, 24/7 trading, leverage, on-chain inventory, and decentralized wild/formal MMs.
Use Perps to seize the pricing high ground, and use bStocks to absorb inventory and correct errors—seize pricing power.

Polygon Labs issued an urgent notice: after the Austin and Kyoto hard forks were activated, nodes still running older Bor/Heimdall versions will fall out of consensus and must upgrade to catch up. Austin block 91,949,700 requires Bor v2.10.0+, while Kyoto block 51,533,000 requires Heimdall v0.11.0+. Austin fixes two types of Bor resource-exhaustion risks: L1–L2 bridge state not being included in gas calculations and the TxDependency field having no upper limit. Kyoto fixes vulnerabilities including deeply nested message attacks, fee-token scanning, and checkpoint signature recovery. Both upgrades are binary-only, with no state migration; nodes that did not fork do not need to resync. Operators of older clients should upgrade and restore synchronization under Polygon’s guidance.

Yi Li Hua said on the platform that BTC has pulled back slightly as expected, and a drop to around $75,500 would be a good opportunity; he remains bullish on a rise after the pullback. He recalled mining at the 2015 lows through the 2017 bull market, investing in hundreds of projects with mixed results; after opportunities diminished, he turned to trading and stressed the need for humility. He profited nine times, but the 10th loss brought him back to square one.

The ring also deployed the malicious PLATINUM token, whose contract can drain holders’ balances at any time. Do not buy it.
