According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Specter, the Wasabi Protocol attacker has deposited all stolen funds into Tornado Cash, moving approximately $5.9 million into Tornado Cash. Additionally, North Korean hacking groups have also used Tornado Cash to launder stolen funds from KelpDAO and LayerZero. Their process involved first cross-chaining the assets to Bitcoin, then routing them through Wasabi Mixer, extracting and cross-chaining back to Ethereum, depositing into Tornado Cash, subsequently withdrawing to new wallets and dispersing across multiple addresses. The new wallets then deployed tokens, used the stolen funds to buy in, removed liquidity from the deployment wallet, cross-chained to Tron (USDT), held for several hours or days, and finally sent to OTC-related wallets.

: According to market sources, Strategy has paused its Bitcoin accumulation while raising approximately $82 million through stock issuance. Its total Bitcoin holdings remain at 818,334 BTC.Analysts believe that despite the short-term pause in accumulation, Strategy continues to secure funding through capital markets, providing financial support for its long-term Bitcoin reserve strategy. This fundraising primarily relies on equity sale arrangements rather than debt expansion. The market is widely watching Strategy's first phased halt after consecutive rounds of accumulation, which may reflect a more flexible capital allocation strategy within the current price range. However, its overarching "Bitcoin balance sheet" strategy remains unchanged.

According to CoinDesk, Amy Oldenburg, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Morgan Stanley, stated at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas that U.S. banks may hold bitcoin on their balance sheets in the future—but the timeline remains uncertain due to guidance from the Federal Reserve, the Basel Accords, and global regulatory requirements. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley’s recently launched MSBT—the first bank-issued bitcoin ETP—drew over $100 million in inflows within its first six days of listing, all sourced exclusively from self-directed investment channels and not yet made available to financial advisors. Oldenburg noted that slow adoption by the advisor channel stems primarily from an education gap; the bank has initiated internal training programs to address this and is applying for a digital trust charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to support direct custody of crypto assets and spot crypto trading services.

Paradigm researcher Dan Robinson proposed a new scheme called PACT (Prove Address Control with Timestamp), aimed at protecting long-dormant Bitcoin, including Satoshi Nakamoto's early addresses, from future quantum computing attacks.The mechanism allows users to prove control over an address via a timestamp without transferring assets or exposing on-chain activity. Should a future quantum attack occur, assets can be recovered based on this proof within a quantum-resistant version of the Bitcoin network.Compared to mandatory migration schemes such as BIP-361, PACT avoids the privacy exposure issues caused by proactively transferring assets, offering long-term holders a more flexible proactive protection path.

Nic Carter stated that the risk quantum computing poses to Bitcoin cannot be clearly anticipated through “canary” mechanisms—such as incrementally difficult key challenges, quantum bounties on addresses, or Satoshi’s early coins. He argues that once quantum computers demonstrably break medium-scale ECDLP, the timeline to threatening secp256k1 may shrink to just months, whereas deploying post-quantum signature schemes and migrating vulnerable UTXOs on Bitcoin is expected to take years. Consequently, Bitcoin and other blockchains may need to proactively advance the transition to post-quantum signatures—even in the absence of unambiguous on-chain signals.
