A trader using four coordinated wallets built a 145.24 million FARTCOIN 
leveraged long position on Hyperliquid, triggering a forced liquidation that 
cost the attacker $3.02 million and pushed $1.5 million in losses onto the

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) announced on Apr. 8 that it would convert 5,000 
ETH into stablecoins through CoWSwap’s TWAP feature to fund research, grants, 
and donations. The announcement reopened a debate over what the foundation’s 
treasury overhaul was ever meant to accomplish. Over the last year, EF moved 
treasury assets into DeFi, borrowed against ETH […]

Bitcoin’s quantum problem is still years away, but Bernstein says 1.7 million 
BTC sitting in early address types could be among the most exposed if the 
technology ever gets there. Related Reading: XRP Faces No Immediate Quantum 
Threat As Only 0.03% Supply Seen At Risk: Analyst That includes an estimated 
1.1 million BTC tied to Satoshi Nakamoto, which would matter only if quantum 
machines become strong enough to break today’s encryption. Legacy Wallets In 
Focus Bernstein’s view is not that Bitcoin faces a near-term collapse. The 
firm’s analysts describe the issue as a “manageable upgrade cycle,” not an 
“existential risk,” and say the danger is concentrated in older wallets and 
addresses that reuse public keys. Newer wallet practices, including avoiding 
address reuse, lower exposure. The report also draws a line between wallet 
risk and mining risk. Bitcoin’s SHA-256 mining process is not seen as 
meaningfully vulnerable to quantum attacks, even if future machines become 
powerful enough to threaten some wallet signatures. Bernstein said the most 
exposed address types include pay-to-public-key, pay-to-multisig and pay-to- 
Taproot formats. 🚨 CRYPTO: BERNSTEIN RESEARCH SAYS BITCOIN HAS 3-5 YEARS TO 
PREPARE FOR QUANTUM COMPUTING THREAT Bernstein Research, the Societe Generale- 
owned brokerage, said quantum computing poses a credible but manageable threat 
to Bitcoin, estimating the industry has a three to five year…

Than Panic The firm pointed to recent research from Google as one reason the 
threat is being taken more seriously now. That work reduced the resources 
thought necessary to break modern encryption, but Bernstein still said 
building a machine capable of compromising Bitcoin remains years away because 
of major technical barriers and high costs. Its estimate gives the crypto 
industry about three to five years to prepare for post-quantum security 
upgrades. That timeline leaves room for the Bitcoin developer community to act 
through the normal upgrade process. Bernstein said open-source contributors 
and core developers would likely handle any move toward quantum-resistant 
standards, with changes proposed and adopted through consensus rather than by 
force. The report also leans on a broader industry view. Quantum experts 
generally give a 10-year timeline for cryptographically relevant quantum 
computers, or machines able to break today’s encryption, according to 
Bernstein’s chart. That gap is part of why the firm argues the issue is real 
but not urgent enough to trigger panic. Related Reading: South Korea Imposes 
5-Minute Audit Rule On Crypto Platforms What Bitcoin Faces First For now, the 
pressure sits on old holdings, not the network as a whole. Bernstein said the 
risk is uneven, with older legacy wallets facing more exposure because public 
keys are already visible on-chain. By contrast, modern wallet use and better 
key practices reduce the chance of attack. The rough number Bernstein cited — 
about 1.7 million BTC in early P2PK addresses — shows why the topic keeps 
returning. Those coins would not be the first target of any quantum attack, 
but they are the clearest example of what could be at stake if hardware 
advances faster than the network’s response. For now, Bernstein’s message is 
that Bitcoin has time, though not endless time, to prepare. Featured image
