According to ChainCatcher, citing Golden Ten Data, Huatai Securities believes that the stronger-than-expected U.S. non-farm payrolls data in March demonstrates the resilience of the U.S. job market.

Recently, the ongoing Middle East conflict and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have caused an oil supply gap, driving up oil prices and inflation expectations; currently, inflation is the core variable for the Federal Reserve's monetary policy.

Research from the Google Quantum AI team indicates that, in the future, quantum computers may be able to derive private keys from Bitcoin public keys in approximately 9 minutes, allowing attackers to potentially hijack transactions before they are confirmed. About one third of all Bitcoin, including early coins and those held in addresses where public keys have been exposed or reused, could be easily stolen by powerful quantum computers. Although the core Bitcoin mining process would still function, the ability to derive private keys from public keys would undermine ownership security across the network. Currently, Bitcoin has not yet begun migrating to quantum-resistant cryptography, while Ethereum has already started the relevant transition.

Odaily reported that the Japan Financial Services Agency has issued the "Policy on Strengthening Cybersecurity for Cryptocurrency Exchanges and Other Companies," with the core goal of protecting investors' assets. The policy proposes a three-layer security protection system: "self-help, mutual assistance, and public assistance," corresponding to the enterprise itself, self-regulatory organizations, and regulatory authority coordination. The policy points out that, in addition to risks such as the leakage of mnemonic phrases and signing keys, complex attack methods such as social engineering attacks and intrusions into outsourced service providers are on the rise, and calls for an overall improvement in defense capabilities. Meanwhile, Japan plans to include crypto-related scenarios in the "Delta Wall" cross-industry cybersecurity exercise to strengthen emergency response capabilities in the industry. (CoinPost)
