As global tensions ripple through energy markets, Australia has made a pragmatic — and somewhat controversial — decision: extend the temporary easing of fuel-quality standards through September.
The move comes as the ongoing Iran war continues to disrupt global supply chains, now entering its eighth week. For a country that imports most of its fuel, the pressure is real — and growing.
Energy Minister Chris Bowen confirmed that petrol sulphur limits will remain at 50 parts per million (ppm), five times higher than the usual 10 ppm standard. It’s not ideal from an environmental standpoint, but right now, ensuring fuel availability is taking priority.
At the same time, domestic challenges are adding to the strain. A recent fire at the Geelong Refinery — a key fuel production site — has reduced output. Diesel and jet fuel production are operating at about 80% capacity, while petrol sits at just 60%, limiting local supply when it’s needed most.
Despite these setbacks, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has reassured the public that fuel rationing is not on the table for now, aiming to prevent panic and maintain stability.
Behind the scenes, Australia is also working diplomatically to secure supply. A new agreement with Petronas — reached after visits to Singapore and Brunei — will help redirect surplus fuel to Australia, strengthening regional energy ties and easing immediate shortages.
The bigger picture
Australia’s response highlights a tough reality: in times of global crisis, even developed nations must balance environmental standards with energy security. Relaxing fuel regulations isn’t a long-term solution — but in the face of supply shocks, it’s a necessary compromise.
With markets still volatile and geopolitical risks far from over, Australia’s strategy reflects a broader shift — adapting quickly, securing partnerships, and prioritizing stability over perfection.

How a quantum computer can be used to actually steal your bitcoin in '9 minutes'


Part 1 of this series explained what quantum computers actually are. Not just faster versions of regular computers, but a fundamentally different kind of machine that exploits the weird rules of physics that only apply at the scale of atoms and particles.

But knowing how a quantum computer works does not tell you how it can be used to steal bitcoin by a bad actor. That requires understanding what it is actually attacking, how bitcoin's security is built, and exactly where the weakness sits.

This piece starts with bitcoin's encryption and works through to the nine-minute window it takes to break it, as identified by Google's recent quantum computing paper.

The one-way map

Bitcoin uses a system called elliptic curve cryptography to prove who owns what. Every wallet has two keys. A private key, which is a secret number, 256 digits long in binary, roughly as long as this sentence. A public key is derived from the private key by performing a mathematical operation on the specific curve called "secp256k1."

Think of it as a one-way map. Start at a known location on the curve that everyone agrees on, called the generator point G (as shown in the chart below). Take a private number of steps in a pattern defined by the curve's math. The number of steps is your private key. Where you end up on the curve is your public key (point K in the chart). Anyone can verify that you ended up at that specific location. Nobody can figure out how many steps you took to get there.

Technically, this is written as K = k × G, where k is your private key and K is your public key. The "multiplication" is not regular multiplication but a geometric operation where you repeatedly add a point to itself along the curve. The result lands on a seemingly random spot that only your specific number k wo

Bitcoin Pulls Back to $71,000 as On-Chain Profit-Taking Surges Again
​Realized Profits Surpass $20 Million Per Hour During Rally
On-chain analytics firm Glassnode discussed the latest trends in Bitcoin's Realized Profit in a new post on X. This metric measures the total profit realized by Bitcoin addresses/investors through their transactions.
​According to the chart shared by Glassnode, which tracks the 24-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) of this indicator over the past few months:
​Profit Spikes: The 24-hour SMA for Realized Profit saw several significant spikes in recent days.
​Timing: These spikes coincided with BTC rebounding from recent lows and breaking back above the $73,000 level.
​Behavior: This suggests that investors utilized the rally as an opportunity to "take profits" off the table.
​During these peaks, profit-taking exceeded $20 million per hour. Due to this selling pressure, BTC has since retreated below $71,000, indicating that profit realization was likely a primary factor in capping the current rally.
​Liquidity Challenges and Sideways Movement
This pattern has recurred several times within the recent trading range. Glassnode noted: "Each approach to the $70,000–$80,000 range faces thin liquidity and profit-taking pressure, which limits the magnitude of the rebound." Given that the latest rally was hindered by selling, it appears the market still lacks sufficient new liquidity to absorb the overhead supply.
​Addresses in Loss
Bitcoin’s persistent sideways movement means a significant portion of the user base remains "underwater." As noted in another Glassnode post, a massive number of addresses on the BTC blockchain are currently in a state of loss.
​Current Data: Approximately 13.5 million addresses are currently in loss.
​Analysis: This indicates a substantial portion of the network acquired their coins at prices higher than the current spot price.
​Outlook: If the current correction continues, this metric could

MemeCore hits $3.88 ATH, bulls target $5 amid strong momentum

MemeCore is a Layer 1 (L1) blockchain aiming to revolutionize the launch of tokens in a meme-native environment.

MemeCore [M] rose by more than 35% in the past hours after breaking a key resistance level and went on to print a new peak of $3.88. Can bulls maintain the price above the broken resistance level in the $3 zone?

MemeCore price action makes a new $ATH

In late March, MemeCore’s price broke out of a sideways consolidation that had held the altcoin since late November 2025. Over the past three weeks, M has been making new daily highs but struggling to break past $3.

However, the altcoin made a new all-time high ($ATH) after a surge in buying activity, indicated by the RSI Divergence flipping bullish. The RSI divergence reading was at 9, while the MACD indicator showed that buyer momentum was growing.

The breakout suggested the accumulation phase around $3 was over and M had entered a bullish momentum phase. However, price rallies tend to correct after such an aggressive breakout.

The question remains if bulls can manage to keep the price of M above $3. This would make the $5 price target remain a possibility in this second quarter (Q2) of the year.

Notably, traders could anticipate a snap-back to $3 to confirm the validity of the breakout. A successful retest would need bulls who pumped massive capital just below $3 to defend the previous supply zone that had turned to a demand zone.

Sharpe Ratio spikes: Is profit-taking looming?

The rally was driven by aggressive buys, with daily trading volume exploding by 146% to around $27.26 million. The altcoin saw the biggest volume bars since the start, indicating increased trading activity of the token.

Additionally, the number of token holders spiked to a new weekly high, reaching 6.82K from a low o

Beaten-down digital asset treasury names lead crypto stock surge as bitcoin hits $78,000

Crypto-linked stocks surged Friday, led by a sharp rally in beaten-down digital asset treasury firms, as progress toward ending the Iran war jolted risk assets, sending bitcoin to a two-month high of $78,000.

U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post that Iran committed to keeping open the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global energy markets.

"Iran has just announced that the Strait… is fully open and ready for full passage," Trump said in a Truth Social post, adding that peace talks between the countries were progressing. Reports that the U.S. is considering unfreezing $20 billion in Iranian assets and Trump's remarks about acquiring Iran's enriched uranium further boosted sentiment.

As the headlines helped calm fears of a prolonged energy shock, crude oil tanked 13% to near $80 per barrel.
