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)

Golden Ten Data reported on April 4 that according to data released by Vietnam's national statistics bureau, Vietnam's economy has slowed compared to the previous quarter due to heavy reliance on Middle Eastern oil imports, which is putting pressure on economic growth. In the first quarter, Vietnam’s GDP grew by 7.83%, lower than the 8.46% in the fourth quarter of last year. The Vietnamese government has set a growth target of no less than 10% this year, but this target is currently under pressure. Over 80% of Vietnam's crude oil is imported from the Middle East, and transportation of Middle Eastern oil has been hampered due to the war in Iran. Rising fuel prices have forced Vietnam Airlines to scale back operations and prompted authorities to introduce cost-control measures, including cutting fuel taxes, subsidizing prices through government-controlled funds, and encouraging remote work to reduce consumption.
