ChainCatcher News: StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson has spoken on X about the potential impact of quantum computing on the encryption industry, calling for multi-chain ecosystems, including Bitcoin, to proactively deploy post-quantum security upgrades, and has proposed a five-step action plan:
-
Recognize the threat, clearly acknowledge that once quantum computers mature, they will pose a serious challenge to existing public key cryptography systems, and take decisive actions to implement countermeasures.
-
Strengthen education and information dissemination by systematically studying the current development of quantum computing and feasible post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions, and promote related knowledge within the community to enhance overall awareness.
-
Organize resources and support collaboration with post-quantum cryptography experts, promote multiple research and engineering practices, and provide funding and community initiative support for relevant projects.
-
Consult expert advice and establish standards, with experts proposing specific technical routes, including the selection of new signature algorithm standards and the appropriate post-quantum security levels required for hash functions.
-
Drive protocol and infrastructure upgrades by introducing new quantum-resistant signature mechanisms at the core protocol layer, and ensure compatibility and integration with key infrastructure such as wallets to facilitate a smooth transition.

BTC 15-minute rise of 0.79%: Institutional pullback and structural fund outflows driving market fluctuations
2026-04-05 22:30 to 2026-04-05 22:45（UTC）, the BTC price fluctuated in the range of 67416.0 to 67986.7 USDT. Within 15 minutes, the return reached +0.79%, and the amplitude was 0.85%. The rapid change on the market quickly drew attention, with volatility increasing, but overall trading volume did not show extreme amplification, and sentiment was mainly cautious and volatile.
The main drivers behind this move are the continued withdrawal of institutional funds and large capital net outflows to outside trading platforms. On-chain data shows that in the past 24 hours, the whole-network BTC net outflow was -2,1
