According to Decrypt, Europol released a report on Wednesday stating that cryptocurrency wallets are the primary exposure points for quantum computing threats. Attackers can derive private keys from publicly exposed on-chain public keys and transfer assets, while underlying hash functions are largely quantum-resistant. The report notes that approximately 30.2% of BTC (6.04 million coins) public keys have already been exposed on-chain, recommending a phased industry transition to post-quantum cryptography, and calling for proactive preventive migration of related assets prior to an attack.
Illia Polosukhin stated that as on-chain tools expand, users no longer need centralized exchanges for many crypto activities. near.com integrates cross-chain spot trading, tokenized stocks, yield products, and perpetual contracts into a single interface, and plans to add more fiat-related features, including bank withdrawals, tax transaction records, and selective disclosure for confidential transactions. NEAR has partnered with Monerium to support users in converting between euros in bank accounts and EURe via IBAN, with the ultimate goal of enabling NEAR Intents to support "any asset to any asset" swaps. After integrating Ondo Finance in September, near.com already offers tokenized stocks and plans to add stocks from more global markets; NEAR's Agent Market allows users to describe their needs in natural language, with the platform finding agents capable of executing the task, and funds will be released after the task is completed and verified.
Odaily reports: Europol released two reports on Wednesday, urging organizations, policymakers, and the cryptocurrency industry to immediately prepare for the threat of quantum computing. Its European Cybercrime Centre noted that cryptocurrency wallet keys are the primary exposure point for quantum attacks, while the hash functions used to secure blockchains currently remain largely quantum-resistant.The reports state that a sufficiently capable quantum computer could derive private keys from exposed public keys, enabling attackers to transfer assets without authorization. Wallets whose public keys have already been exposed on-chain cannot be protected retroactively; holders need to migrate their assets to new wallets before an attack occurs.Glassnode estimated in May that 6.04 million BTC, representing 30.2% of the issued supply, have exposed public keys. The reports note that NIST-standardized post-quantum signatures are 10 to 120 times larger than the ECDSA signatures currently used by Bitcoin, and migrating all Bitcoin unspent transaction outputs would require at least 76 cumulative days of downtime.A second report published by Europol points out that commonly used protocols such as TLS, SSH, and OpenPGP face "harvest now, decrypt later" risks, but there is currently no clear evidence that this approach has been exploited at scale. The report argues that for payments, immediate interception within the brief window before transaction confirmation poses a more direct quantum risk than post-hoc decryption. (Decrypt)

Odaily reports: Polygon's official X account today posted a "Polygon is not dead" announcement, seemingly mocking Abstract's shutdown. In response, Polygon founder Sandeep posted a statement saying that the content did not achieve the intended传播 effect, and many community users interpreted it in a completely different way. He himself was also confused when he saw the content, but it was clearly the Polygon marketing team's self-deprecation, because some people had always said that Polygon was already dead, while Polygon's fundamentals were steadily rising.Sandeep added that the content was not intended to allude to Abstract's shutdown, and emphasized that he deeply respects Abstract founder Luca Netz and his team, and would not mock Abstract. Polygon had also terminated the zkEVM project, so he knows that pain well. He hereby clarifies the misunderstanding and would not make fun of them over this, and wishes Luca and the Pudgy Penguins team all the best.

Odaily reports: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), in a filing submitted on Monday, cited the appellate ruling in the case of Roman Sterlingov, the operator of cryptocurrency mixer Bitcoin Fog, as supplementary grounds for opposing Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm's acquittal motion.U.S. prosecutors stated that the ruling supports their position that the Southern District of New York is the proper venue for the trial. Prosecutors argued that Shakeeb Ahmed used Tornado Cash in a Manhattan apartment, and that this activity is sufficient to establish venue for the money laundering and unlicensed money transmission conspiracy charges against Roman Storm.Judge Katherine Polk Failla heard arguments on Roman Storm's acquittal motion in April 2026 but has not yet issued a ruling. A jury in August 2025 convicted him of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business, but failed to reach a unanimous verdict on the money laundering and sanctions conspiracy charges, with a retrial tentatively scheduled for April 26, 2027.
