Bitcoin Derivatives Flash the First Warning Sign of a Quantum Selloff, Says Joshua Lim
Actors and figures: Joshua Lim (FalconX) estimates that 1.7 million $BTC, valued at $127 billion, are exposed to quantum attacks.

Dates and signals: The April 16 analysis highlights that derivatives and long-term options will show red flags before on-chain activity.

Market scenarios: An institutional hard fork could trigger massive liquidations and unprecedented price volatility.

The arrival of quantum computing is the greatest technical and political challenge in the cryptocurrency market. Joshua Lim, co-head of markets at FalconX, stated that quantum risk in Bitcoin will initially manifest in the derivatives markets.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading around $75,024, as the sector analyzes how to protect Satoshi Nakamoto’s 1.1 million $BTC. The volume of options and the bias of long-term “puts” already reflect a demand for protection against extreme systemic events.

Typically, forks like the one in 2017 occurred in a retail market of $45 billion. However, with a current market cap of $1.5 trillion, such an event under the quantum risk in Bitcoin would have much more drastic consequences.

Lim argues that the problem is not just mathematical; it is deeply sociopolitical. The community must decide whether to burn old coins through governance or allow a state actor with quantum power to attempt to claim those inactive assets.

The Satoshi Dilemma and Market Stability

Migrating to post-quantum cryptography is technically conceivable through proposals like BIP 361. Nevertheless, the fate of “Satoshi era” coins remains the big question mark that could tank the price if

Хардфорк Polygon Lisovo и появление ИИ-агентов: следующий шаг в развитии блокчейн-технологий
За свою относительно короткую историю блокчейн-сообщество пережило несколько важных этапов. От появления Биткоина в 2009 году до DeFi-лета 2022 года и принятия в США Закона GENIUS 2025 года (федеральной рамочной программы для регулируемых платежей в стейблкоинах) эта экосистема продолжает развиваться с невероятной скоростью.

Сейчас мы наблюдаем еще один масштабный скачок вперед благодаря развитию искусственного интеллекта, и речь здесь идет не только о его связи с предиктивной токеномикой. ИИ-агенты теперь играют решающую роль в автономных транзакциях. Это представляет собой как возможность, так и вызов.

Одна из наиболее актуальных проблем связана с созданием подхода, способного оптимизировать существующую платежную инфраструктуру, и сеть Polygon уже начала предпринимать соответствующие действия.  Хардфорк Lisovo был запущен 4 марта 2026 года, и это обновление поможет гарантировать, что Polygon продолжит предлагать тот уровень эффективности обработки данных в блокчейне, которого ожидают клиенты.

OpenAI is reportedly set to spend over $20 billion with AI chip startup Cerebras over the next three years, marking a significant expansion of an already substantial computing partnership. According to The Information, the agreement — which Reuters could not independently verify — would give OpenAI access to servers powered by Cerebras' specialized chips while also granting the ChatGPT maker an equity stake in the firm.This latest commitment builds on an earlier deal announced in January, where OpenAI agreed to purchase up to 750 megawatts of computing capacity from Cerebras in a contract valued at over $10 billion. The newly reported arrangement not only exceeds that figure but also includes approximately $1 billion from OpenAI to help Cerebras finance the construction of data centers dedicated to running AI workloads.The scale of the investment reflects the surging demand for inference computing — the process AI models use to generate real-time responses. As tech companies race to deploy more advanced reasoning models and consumer-facing AI applications, access to high-performance chips has become a critical competitive advantage.If total spending reaches the projected $30 billion threshold, OpenAI could receive warrants representing up to 10% ownership in Cerebras, with its equity stake potentially growing alongside its financial commitments. Cerebras, headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, was expected to publicly disclose parts of the arrangement as early as Friday, the report noted.Neither OpenAI nor Cerebras has officially confirmed the details. OpenAI did not respond to media inquiries outside business hours, while Cerebras declined to comment.The deal underscores a broader industry trend of AI leaders locking in long-term chip supply agreements to secure the infrastructure needed to stay competitive in an increasingly resource-intensive technolog

Bitcoin’s $77K rally leaves bears bleeding with $585M shorts wiped
Bitcoin’s fresh rally is raising a strange contradiction in the market. It is printing green indexes while sentiment refuses to follow. $BTC managed to breach the $77,000 for the first time in 11 weeks, but bears’ bets dominated the liquidations.

The global crypto market cap surged by almost 3% over the last 24 hours. It currently hovers around $2.61 trillion. The digital assets market’s 24-hour trading volume spiked by 12% to hit $172 billion. This suggests that traders are speeding up their positions.

CoinGlass data shows that more than 164,835 traders were liquidated in the last 24 hours. The total liquidations went on to hit $747.81 million. However, the largest single wipeout came from a $BTC/USD trade worth $15.75 million on Hyperliquid.

Bitcoin rally triggers Short Squeeze?

Bears were seen bleeding as more than 78% of the liquidated positions turned out to be short bets. More than $585 million worth of short bets were liquidated in the period. Data shows that Bitcoin itself accounted for around $378 million of the total liquidations. Over 91% of the liquidated positions ($344 million) turned out to be short bets. This suggests that traders were hoping for Bitcoin price to remain low or fall, however, $BTC price jumped by more than 3% in the last 24 hours to peek $78,000.

Yet even as bears bleed, conviction hasn’t flipped. Funding rates for perpetual futures remain negative. This signals that leveraged traders are still betting against the rally. This bearish positioning has now persisted for roughly 46 consecutive days. This is reportedly one of the longest such stretches since the collapse of FTX in 2022.

Markets have already started to show signs of those squeeze patterns. Bitcoin price pump came alongside a broader risk-on shift across global markets. Positive comments from the US and Iran have pushed the m

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is starting to look like a financial back end that traditional finance can adopt without changing itself too much.

This is because tokenized funds can sit on the ledger, and stablecoins can move across it. At the same time, protocol upgrades keep landing, including features designed for institutions that want on-chain settlement without open access to every counterparty.

Netflix Drops 10% After Q2 Forecast Misses While Bitcoin Bulls Target $78K


Netflix and Bitcoin moved in opposite directions on Friday, with weak corporate guidance dragging one lower while crowded short positioning and calmer geopolitics pushed the other sharply higher.

Netflix shares dropped nearly 10% in Friday trading after the streaming company issued softer-than-expected second-quarter guidance and said co-founder Reed Hastings plans to leave the board in June when his term expires. The stock traded near $97.20, down $10.59 or 9.82%, even though the company delivered a stronger first quarter than analysts had expected.

The company reported $12.25 billion in revenue, above the $12.17 billion consensus estimate, while adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.23, well above the expected $0.76. Revenue also rose from $10.54 billion a year earlier. Still, the market focused on the weaker forward outlook rather than the quarterly beat.

Netflix Sells Off as Outlook Outweighs Q1 Beat

Netflix’s slide stands out even more when compared with its peers over the last six months. The performance chart shows Netflix down about 17.88%, while Paramount Skydance was down about 25.82% over the same stretch. Warner Bros. Discovery, by contrast, was up roughly 50.19%.

The market appears to be pricing in concern about near-term growth momentum after the company lost the contest for Warner Bros. Discovery and reset expectations with weaker second-quarter guidance.

Additionally, Hastings’ planned departure from the board removes a long-standing figure closely tied to Netflix’s transformation from a DVD-by-mail business into a streaming giant. While the board change did not drive the entire move, it added to a session already dominated by a cautious read on the company’s outlook.
