ChainCatcher news, "on-chain detective" ZachXBT pointed out on the X platform that some U.S. law firms use their investigative work and on-chain evidence collection results to help victims of hacking incidents file legal claims, but this practice may affect victims to receive compensation or recover funds. In previous hacking incidents involving Lazarus Group, such law firms usually intervened after the tracking or freezing of their on-chain funds were completed, and proposed follow-up legal actions that were weakly related to the crypto incident itself. ZachXBT also called on the crypto community to set up DAOs to resist such behavior.

ChainCatcher news, according to the Wall Street Journal, "Fed mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos wrote that Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari and other three regional Fed presidents opposed continuing to retain the wording "the next is more likely to cut interest rates" at this week's interest rate meeting, believing that the next interest rate adjustment may be both a rate hike or a rate cut. Outgoing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said that the committee is gradually shifting from a "tendency to cut interest rates" to a "neutral position", and said that if interest rate hikes are needed in the future, the Fed will first turn neutral and then release a signal to raise interest rates. Nick Timiraos believes that the discussion within the Fed on the path of interest rates has taken a clear shift, and now the main debate is no longer about when to restart interest rate cuts, but about the conditions under which interest rate hikes may be needed again. Since the Fed began issuing policy statements in 1994, disagreements over how to describe the direction of policy rather than real interest rate changes have been rare.

ChainCatcher news, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr posted on the X platform that the adjusted realized price range model based on Bitcoin's current circulating supply calibration shows that this round of Bitcoin's fall to the key range of $59,000 is considered to be the start of a real medium- and long-term bottoming, which is not a short-term process and will not be completed within one to two weeks, and the benchmark scenario is expected to take about 6 months. Axel Adler Jr emphasized that although Bitcoin has risen recently, the core of what really drives market stabilization is not sentiment repair or a local rebound, but the return of long-term real demand, that is, when the market starts pricing in future value again and spot buying continues to recover, the bottom may be truly established.

ChainCatcher news, Bitcoin's quantum computing concerns have always been a "Satoshi-related problem". If a powerful enough quantum computer comes out, millions of Bitcoins stored in old wallets with exposed public keys could be at risk of theft, including about 1.1 million Bitcoins allegedly attributed to anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto, currently worth about $84 billion. Veteran developer Jameson Lopp and five other developers formally proposed this plan through BIP-361 in mid-April, which will phase out addresses vulnerable to quantum attacks and freeze any coins that fail to complete the migration within a five-year timeline. But the proposal creates another problem: Satoshi Nakamoto, along with all other long-dormant holders, will have to "show up" publicly or risk losing access to their assets. Paradigm general partner Dan Robinson released a proposal on Friday to circumvent this trade-off, with the core concept of "provable address control timestamps" (PACTs). The core idea of PACTs is not to move coins, but to timestamp proof of ownership on a specific date and not reveal anything to the outside world until the wallet owner actually needs to spend it. If Bitcoin later enables a soft fork that freezes quantum-vulnerable coins, the protocol could include a rescue path that accepts STARK proofs (a zero-knowledge proof that remains secure for quantum computers), proving that holders created their commitments before quantum hardware existed. Holders submit this proof when they wish to spend, and the network releases the corresponding coins. This redemption process does not reveal any information about the address, amount, or even when the original timestamp was created.

According to ChainCatcher news, Paradigm general partner Dan Robinson proposed the "Provable Address Control Timestamps" (PACTs) mechanism, which aims to provide a protection path for Bitcoin addresses under potential threats from quantum computing. This scheme allows coin holders to generate proof of address control through BIP-322, combined with random salt value to generate on-chain commitments, and complete time anchoring with OpenTimestamps, establishing proof of ownership without disclosing wallet information. If the quantum vulnerable address is frozen through a soft fork in the future, users can submit STARK zero-knowledge proofs to unlock assets when spent. This mechanism also provides a potential recovery path for BIP-32-derived wallets, but its implementation still relies on Bitcoin to introduce STARK verification capabilities and gain community consensus.

According to ChainCatcher news, Michael van de Poppe, founder of MN Trading Capital, said that Bitcoin may not need a new story or catalyst to push it back to $100,000 - Bitcoin has not reached that price for nearly five months. van de Poppe first posed the question in an X post on Friday, "What narrative could propel Bitcoin to $100,000?" He then said: "No narrative is needed to push the price up." He added: "When prices rise, narratives will emerge. This is why mathematics, statistics and logic alone are enough to win, and why Bitcoin is currently in these zones that are still good accumulation zones. ” Many crypto market participants still believe that Bitcoin needs a strong narrative to drive the price upwards. Recently, the focus has been on potential catalysts such as the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, regulatory progress in the United States, and inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs. Some participants also pointed to the possible passage of the CLARITY bill as a factor driving Bitcoin upwards. But veteran trader Peter Brandt said the CLARITY bill is a positive step for the industry but is unlikely to be a major catalyst for Bitcoin's price to move upward. "Is this a macro development that shakes the world?" Brandt said. not. An event that is certainly necessary, but not a value that should be redefined. Meanwhile, White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt said at the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas this week that a "big announcement" about US President Trump's Bitcoin reserves will be made in a few weeks.
