Bitcoin’s Draft BIP 360 Introduces P2MR in Push Toward Quantum Resistance

Bitcoin developers have updated draft BIP 360 to introduce Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR), a proposed output type designed to reduce long-term quantum risk while retaining Taproot’s scripting flexibility. The proposal removes Taproot’s key-path spend entirely, aiming squarely at the portion of modern bitcoin addresses most exposed to future quantum attacks.

P2MR Could Offer Conservative First Step Toward Quantum-Resistant Bitcoin

Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 360, still under review and not yet activated, proposes P2MR as a quantum-resistant alternative to Pay-to- Taproot (P2TR) by committing directly to the Merkle root of a Tapscript tree without including a public key for key-path spending. In practical terms, it behaves like a Taproot output that only ever uses the script path.

That distinction matters because Taproot’s key-path spend exposes a public key. Under current cryptography, deriving a private key from a public key is computationally infeasible. But sufficiently powerful quantum computers running Shor’s algorithm could, in theory, reverse elliptic curve cryptography. P2MR simply removes that exposed key from the equation.

Importantly, P2MR does not introduce new signature schemes or opcodes. It preserves full Tapscript (BIP 342) functionality and Merkleized Abstract Syntax Tree (MAST)-style script trees, including leaf versions, control blocks and annex data — minus the internal public key. Wallets can reuse much of their existing Taproot code.

The outputs remain 32-byte hashes, tagged as “TapBranch,” offering 128-bit collision resistance comparable to P2WSH. Developers describe it as a conservative first step toward quantum resistance rather than a sweeping cryptographic overhaul.

The proposal has already undergone multiple rewr

With Bitcoin (BTC) trading in a highly volatile environment after a significant pullback, futures trading offers strong opportunities for disciplined traders. My BTC futures strategy focuses on key support and resistance zones on the 4H and 1H timeframes, while entries are refined on lower timeframes using price action and volume confirmation. I avoid emotional trading and use moderate leverage (3x–5x) to manage risk during sharp swings. Every trade has a predefined stop-loss and take-profit to protect capital. In uncertain markets, consistency, patience, and risk management are the real edge in BTC futures trading.

Price consolidates below key technical levels
XRP’s price action, however, tells a more cautious story. The token was trading around $1.90–$1.95 at the time of writing, remaining below both its 20-day and 50-day moving averages, which are clustered just under the $2.00 level.

Since peaking near $3.60 in October, XRP has established a pattern of lower highs and lower lows, confirming a broader downtrend.

While price volatility has moderated since the January ETF outflow, XRP has yet to reclaim levels that would signal a meaningful shift in market structure.

Flow stabilisation does not yet signal trend reversal
The timing suggests that ETF selling may have amplified existing downside pressure rather than initiating it.

XRP was already trending lower before the January outflow, and the subsequent return to positive flows has coincided with price stabilisation rather than a rebound.

For now, ETF data suggests improving positioning after a period of stress. At the same time, price action indicates the market remains cautious and sensitive to further shifts in sentiment.

Final Thoughts
XRP spot ETFs have recorded fresh inflows after a $53.32 million outflow on 20 January, with total assets holding near $1.38 billion.
Despite stabilising flows, XRP continues to trade below $2.00 and key moving averages, suggesting consolidation rather than a confirmed reversal.

NCUA advances implementation of the GENIUS Act

The National Credit Union Administration has forwarded a proposal to regulate stablecoin activity within the US credit union system. The new rules are slated to advance the implementation of the bill-turned-law, the GENIUS Act.


The NCUA issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking explaining how entities could apply for approval as permitted payment stablecoin issuers, or PPSIs, under its supervision. The proposal formally brings stablecoin-related operations into the agency’s regulatory framework for the first time.

In a press statement on Wednesday, the credit regulator said the authority granted by Congress through the GENIUS Act establishes adequate standards for stablecoin issuance by federally insured credit unions.


Today, NCUA moved forward with its plans to implement the GENIUS Act. The agency announced a proposed rule outlining the framework for credit union subsidiaries seeking approval to become a permitted payment stablecoin issuer. To learn more, visit: https://t.co/iDYzQ3zPxF

NCUA also mentioned that public comments on the proposal will be accepted for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. The comment period is scheduled to close on April 13, 2026.


“This proposed rule is the first step in NCUA’s implementation of the GENIUS Act,” NCUA Chairman Kyle Hauptman told the press. “We’re on track to meet the Congress’s July 18 deadline. Credit unions should be aware that they won’t be at a disadvantage versus other entities, whether in timing or standards.”


The draft rule is currently available in the Federal Register for review, and the union has also posted guidance materials on its Financial Technology and Digital Assets Resource Page.

Parker White: Bitcoin’s price drop linked to IBIT options stress, a Hong Kong hedge fund’s influence, and the risks of short volatility strategies | Unchained


Key Takeaways

The recent crypto market downturn is largely attributed to the growth in Bitcoin derivatives and actions by a major fund.

The significant drop in Bitcoin’s price on February 5 was likely triggered by stress in the options market on the IBIT platform.

Bitcoin’s integration into global finance is evidenced by the massive size of the IBIT options market.

A non-crypto hedge fund in Hong Kong might be influencing crypto market price movements.

Isolated margin in funds can prevent losses from affecting other assets within the firm.

A Hong Kong-based fund may have been involved in recent market disruptions.

The recent Bitcoin price drop resulted from poor trading choices and a significant drop in volatility.

Short volatility strategies can generate income from Bitcoin holdings but carry significant risks.

Volatility in Bitcoin markets is likely to mean revert, but unexpected events can lead to significant losses.

Investment funds sometimes mask problems instead of addressing them, leading to catastrophic failures.

The current market situation may lead to failures similar to the ‘volmageddon’ of 2018.

A Hong Kong-based fund, a large holder of IBIT, has likely experienced a significant blow-up.

May 15 will be a critical date for assessing the health of concentrated IBIT holding funds.

The IBIT options market has grown to become the fourth most liquid options market globally.

Harvesting volatility from Bitcoin is a common income generation strategy similar to that used for single stocks.
