Cryptocurrency quantitative analyst @AxelAdlerJr stated that Bitcoin recently reached an average entry cost of $74,200 for U.S. Bitcoin ETF holders. If Bitcoin can maintain a position above this level, ETF holders will shift from losses to breakeven (neutral); if it falls below, it indicates that the market structure remains weak and pressure continues.On the other hand, the cost basis for short-term holders (STH) is approximately $83,734, which is the main resistance level in the current market. Analysts believe that only when the cost of Bitcoin ETF holders further narrows the gap with the STH cost basis can the Bitcoin market structure see a more significant improvement.

Due to the migration of the top decentralized application Ether.fi to Optimism, the Ethereum Layer-2 network Scroll has experienced a significant loss of funds, resulting in a total value locked (TVL) decrease of approximately $160 million and an annual fee loss of about $13 million.Scroll stated that it will propose a plan to dissolve the decentralized security committee and reduce DAO members to lower operational costs, with network control being handed over to the internal team. Additionally, Scroll briefly raised network gas fees by 1,280 times after the protocol migration, causing users to pay over $50,000 in extra fees, but it has since returned to normal. After this adjustment, Scroll's TVL has dropped to approximately $23 million. The official statement claims that all contract changes will remain transparent and verifiable on-chain.

According to a report by the Korea Herald, the nominee for the governor of the Bank of Korea, Shin Hyun-sung, stated in a written response during a personnel hearing at the National Assembly that central bank digital currency (CBDC) and commercial bank deposit tokens based on its issuance should become the core of the digital currency ecosystem. Shin Hyun-sung expressed basic support for the introduction of a Korean won stablecoin but emphasized that maintaining trust in the currency is the most important.Regarding the issuing entity of the Korean won stablecoin, he believes that South Korea is not a reserve currency country, and compliance capability is crucial. Therefore, he suggested prioritizing the issuance by a bank-centered alliance, allowing non-bank institutions to participate, and gradually expanding later. Shin Hyun-sung holds a cautious attitude towards the claim that stablecoins can enhance foreign exchange trading efficiency, believing that it is still unclear whether blockchain can comply with capital and foreign exchange regulations. He also stated that crypto assets, including stablecoins, have failed to meet the core functions of currency such as a measure of value, medium of exchange, and store of value, asserting that crypto assets cannot replace fiat currency.

According to The Block, the Solana ecosystem decentralized exchange Stabble issued an emergency notice urging liquidity providers to withdraw their funds immediately, due to a North Korean employee who previously worked on the project. This warning appears to have been triggered by information from on-chain detective ZachXBT, who disclosed that a North Korean developer had worked for many years on the Solana DeFi infrastructure project Elemental.U.S. authorities had previously issued warnings that North Korean technicians were infiltrating crypto companies using false identities. Over the weekend, Drift Protocol stated that its $280 million attack incident was likely carried out by the same North Korean hackers responsible for the October 2024 Radiant Capital attack. Stabble responded that the North Korean employee seemed to have joined a year ago, and a new team took over the project four weeks ago, emphasizing that no attacks have occurred so far and that the warning was merely a precaution. Stabble stated that it would conduct a new audit to ensure LP safety.

Robinhood announced that its cryptocurrency platform has launched trading for Solana ecosystem tokens ORCA and RAY, and users in New York State can also participate.

According to PR Newswire, BTQ Technologies has released a research paper titled "Kardashev Scale Quantum Computing for Bitcoin Mining," which quantifies the physical costs of the entire process of using quantum computing for Bitcoin mining for the first time. The related research points out that the market has long confused two types of quantum threats: one is the attack on Bitcoin's elliptic curve digital signatures (real and urgent), and the other is quantum mining accelerated by Grover's algorithm (theoretically possible but with extremely high practical costs).The BTQ paper argues that to have a substantial impact on consensus, a quantum computing cluster with energy consumption far exceeding the current level of human civilization needs to be built. The study also proposes an open-source resource estimation model, covering key aspects such as reversible double SHA-256 computation, fault-tolerant quantum error correction, and large-scale quantum bit scheduling. The conclusion emphasizes that the more realistic risk facing Bitcoin comes from vulnerabilities in cryptographic signatures, rather than quantum mining capabilities.

On-chain analyst Murphy stated that the average cost of all loss-making Bitcoin chips has currently fallen below $100,000, now at only $93,600. This means that under the current chip structure, BTC will reach the market average breakeven point when it rises back to $93,000. During the two rapid declines at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, a large number of high-position trapped chips chose to cut losses and exit, lowering the average cost of overall floating loss chips.It is also observed that the average cost of loss-making chips has a deviation coefficient of 1.4 compared to the current 30-day average price of BTC, while in the past three bear market bottoms, the deviation coefficient has exceeded 2 at least. When the average deviation coefficient is greater than or equal to 2, it indicates that the market has entered an absolute bottom range, at which point the price of BTC is less than 50% of the average cost of loss-making chips. To meet this condition, the lowest point of BTC in this round would need to drop to $46,800, but historical patterns may not always hold true. This bear market may be less painful than any previous bear market. According to PolyBeats monitoring, in the market related to whether Bitcoin will reach $60,000 or $80,000 first on Polymarket, the probability of reaching $60,000 first is 68%, while the probability of reaching $80,000 first is 32%.

The conflict in the Middle East has led to disruptions in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, causing global shipping costs to soar dramatically, and the war risk insurance premiums for vessels have risen rapidly.In addition, shipping companies also need to consider freight rates. Industry insiders indicate that freight rates have already increased by 11 to 12 times. The costs of insurance and detours are being passed on, continuously impacting global trade and supply chain security.
