Bitwise Seeks to Acquire Chorus One to Dominate Institutional Staking as BMIC Momentum Builds

Bitwise, a major asset management firm, is reportedly seeking to acquire Chorus One, a leading European institutional staking provider, signaling a strategic move to dominate the crypto yield infrastructure. This acquisition highlights the growing institutional focus on staking as a key revenue stream. However, this consolidation raises concerns over centralization risks and vulnerabilities, such as potential "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" quantum attacks. In response, projects like BMIC ($BMIC) are gaining attention for offering a quantum-secure finance stack designed to protect digital assets against future cryptographic threats. BMIC's presale has already raised significant funds, reflecting strong market interest in next-generation security solutions.

Hot Interactive Projects Roundup: Perle Labs Launches New Tasks; Early Test Experience for ambient.xyz (Feb 3) Perle Labs, a human expert-driven AI training data platform, has launched new interactive tasks. Users can connect a Solana wallet, complete speech recording and ambiguous instruction identification quests to earn points. All data is recorded on-chain for transparency. The platform has raised $17.5 million. ambient.xyz, an AI model and compute-powered PoW L1 project, is now in early testing. Users can sign up with a Google account, link a wallet, create drop requests, and interact with its AI chat feature. The project completed a $7.2 million seed round led by a16z CSX and Delphi Digital. Project Eleven, a crypto security startup focused on quantum attack protection, allows users to subscribe via email. The company recently raised $20 million at a $120 million valuation to develop quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions.

Delphi Digital Co-founder: Why Am I Bullish on the Cryptocurrency Market Outlook?

Delphi Digital co-founder Tommy outlines five key reasons for his bullish outlook on cryptocurrencies. He argues that if Trump influences the Fed to lower interest rates (especially with Truflation showing 1.2% inflation could accelerate capital rotation from low-risk assets like T-bills into crypto. The surge in gold and silver reflects deeper concerns about dollar debasement and fiscal health, which ultimately benefits crypto as a hedge. He also being optimistic about AI, believes much of the positive news is already priced in, and a shift in focus toward workflows and cost-effective local AI models may reduce hype for centralized AI stocks, freeing up liquidity for crypto. Additionally, he notes declining investor interest in quantum computing stocks, reducing a perceived threat to crypto. Finally, potential U.S. regulatory clarity, including the Clarity Act and supportive moves from the SEC and CFTC under a potential Trump administration, could provide significant tailwinds.

Ethereum Builds Team To Guard Against Quantum Threat

The Ethereum Foundation has formed a new Post-Quantum (PQ) team, led by Thomas Coratger, to prepare the network for potential quantum computing threats. The team, which includes cryptographers and engineers, is transitioning from research to practical testing on devnets. Their work involves developing quantum-safe tools and testing new algorithms while ensuring current transactions remain unaffected. A $2 million prize pool has been announced to encourage improvements in quantum-resistant solutions, including $1 million dedicated to enhancing the Poseidon hash function. Multi-client devnets are already active, with biweekly research sessions and a Post-Quantum Day planned for March 2026. Although the quantum risk is not immediate, Ethereum is proactively addressing it to ensure a smoother transition and better protect users and the network. Community reactions are mixed, with some praising the initiative while others express concerns about implementation and wallet upgrades.

‘Time to go full PQ’ – Ethereum Foundation launches post-quantum push

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has declared post-quantum (PQ) security a top strategic priority, aiming to accelerate its development with a target to "go full PQ" by 2026. A dedicated team has been formed to lead this initiative, focusing on making Ethereum quantum-resistant. The EF is offering a $1 million prize to improve the Poseidon hash function as part of its emphasis on hash-based cryptography. PQ developer networks are already in progress, and a formal roadmap will be released soon. In contrast, the Bitcoin community remains divided on the urgency of quantum threats. Some analysts suggest that if it lags in PQ readiness, Ethereum could significantly outperform Bitcoin in returns, potentially by 200%.

Bitcoin Should Wait On Quantum Fixes, Says Epoch Ventures

Epoch Ventures founder Erik Yakes advises against rushing quantum-resistant upgrades for Bitcoin, arguing the quantum computing threat remains unproven and premature action could impose long-term efficiency costs. He attributes recent quantum anxiety to behavioral biases rather than technical evidence, noting quantum computers haven't factored numbers larger than 15. Yakes emphasizes that quantum-resistant signatures currently consume excessive block space, potentially reducing network throughput. He recommends leveraging existing taproot address features for short-term protection and allowing more efficient solutions to develop. Governance challenges and the risk of locking in inefficient protocols outweigh immediate quantum concerns, which he considers less urgent than geopolitical or monetary risks.

Bitcoin Axed By Top Wall Street Strategist On Quantum Fears

Jefferies strategist Chris Wood has removed Bitcoin from his long-term model portfolio, citing quantum computing as a threat to Bitcoin's store-of-value proposition for long-term investors like pension funds. While not predicting an immediate price crash, Wood expressed concern that quantum computers could compromise Bitcoin’s cryptographic security within years rather than decades, making private keys vulnerable. He reallocated the 10% Bitcoin exposure to gold and gold miners. VanEck’s Matthew Sigel acknowledged the move but emphasized the difference between Bitcoin's decentralized, hard-to-upgrade nature and traditional reversible banking systems. He views quantum risk as a solvable challenge rather than a fatal flaw and maintains spot Bitcoin exposure while making small hedges. The article notes Bitcoin's significant outperformance versus gold since 2020 despite the recent strategic shift.

Popular Strategist Removes Bitcoin From Portfolio Due To Quantum Threat — What’s Happening?

Popular strategist Christopher Wood, global head of equity strategy at Jefferies, has removed a 10% Bitcoin allocation from his model portfolio, citing the emerging threat of quantum computing. Wood expressed concerns that advances in quantum technology could compromise Bitcoin’s cryptographic security, potentially allowing attackers to reverse-engineer private keys and undermine the blockchain’s integrity. He reallocated the exposure equally to physical gold and gold mining stocks, reflecting a shift away from Bitcoin as a long-term store of value. This move aligns with growing unease in the market, as other experts like Charles Edwards of Capriole Investments have recently warned that quantum risks may be developing faster than Bitcoin’s ability to upgrade its defenses. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading around $95,370.

Prominent Strategist 'Abandons' Bitcoin, Citing 'Fears of Quantum Computing's Imminent Realization'

Christopher Wood, Global Head of Equity Strategy at Jefferies, has completely removed Bitcoin from his investment portfolio due to concerns that rapid advancements in quantum computing could undermine the cryptocurrency's security. In a column published on January 16, Wood argued that progress in quantum computing threatens Bitcoin’s role as a "reliable store of value," particularly for long-term investors like pension funds. He liquidated the 10% Bitcoin allocation in his portfolio model, reallocating the funds into 5% physical gold and 5% gold mining stocks. Wood explained that his decision was driven by fears that quantum computing could break Bitcoin’s encryption algorithms, potentially within a few years rather than decades. Such technology could reverse-engineer private keys used to authorize transactions, fundamentally damaging Bitcoin’s value proposition as a digital alternative to gold. A former early institutional supporter of Bitcoin, Wood had initially added it to his portfolio in December 2020 amid pandemic-era stimulus measures and concerns over dollar devaluation, later increasing the allocation to 10% in 2021. He now believes that the long-term risks posed by quantum computing are beneficial for gold, which he describes as a historically proven hedge in an increasingly uncertain geopolitical environment.
