The founder and CEO of Gate, Dr. Han, expressed his views on the market positioning of gold and Bitcoin on platform X. Dr. Han pointed out that against the backdrop of rising global political and economic uncertainties, gold prices have reached new historical highs, and market volatility has significantly increased, with funds seeking certainty again.Dr. Han believes that although the market has long compared Bitcoin to gold, the two are fundamentally different. The reason gold continues to be allocated during turbulent periods is due to its repeatedly validated "safe lower bound" attribute over thousands of years; whereas Bitcoin has never been defined as a safe-haven asset, and its value logic is more reflected in betting on future growth potential.As the participation of traditional financial assets in the crypto market continues to rise, Gate has also accelerated its layout in the TradFi direction, gradually expanding trading categories such as precious metals, foreign exchange, indices, and stocks. According to CoinGlass data, the 24-hour trading volume of Gate XAUT (gold) contracts has exceeded $483 million, ranking third globally.

On-chain analyst Willy Woo tweeted that the future "quantum computing era" may allow public keys to be reverse-engineered into private keys, leading to asset risks. Currently, Taproot addresses starting with "bc1p" are not quantum-safe, while SegWit addresses starting with "bc1q" still have protective capabilities. He advises users to transfer BTC to SegWit or legacy format addresses and to avoid spending until an upgrade to quantum-safe protocols is completed to prevent exposure of public keys.Woo expects that the Bitcoin network will complete its quantum-safe upgrade in about 7 years, while quantum threats may emerge as early as after 2030.

ChainCatcher news, according to the official announcement, Binance has recently noticed some suspicious activities aimed at profiting from users providing liquidity to decentralized exchanges (DEX). Common risk signals include: abnormally high yields, rapid price fluctuations, or excessive promotion of trading activities and incentives.A common strategy is to attract users to provide liquidity through trading rebates or similar incentive mechanisms. These mechanisms can simulate a positive market environment and active trading, but often obscure significant structural risks and potential sudden price reversals. For the reasons mentioned above, users are strongly advised to pay attention to the following:For liquidity pool (LP) providers: Before adding liquidity, carefully assess the project's market capitalization, fully diluted valuation (FDV), and price volatility. Choose the liquidity range wisely, as providing liquidity carries risks including impermanent loss. Be especially cautious of abnormally high LP yields in low liquidity environments.For traders: Before trading, understand the liquidity and holder distribution of the token. Remain highly vigilant towards tokens that show a highly concentrated holding or experience sudden price increases without obvious reasons. Pay attention to liquidity changes, token distribution, and trading patterns. Stay informed and make decisions based on research rather than speculation.Risk warning banner: For projects with higher risks, Binance will display a risk warning banner on the token trading page (e.g., BR, KOGE, QUQ). Please be sure to pay attention to such risk warnings before trading.
