Explore how Satoshi’s untouched 1 million BTC could become crypto’s biggest quantum target, and what a real quantum breakthrough means for early wallets. Satoshi’s 1.1-million-BTC wallet is increasingly viewed as a potential quantum vulnerability as researchers assess how advancing computing power could affect early Bitcoin addresses. Satoshi Nakamoto’s estimated 1.1 million Bitcoin (BTC) is often described as the crypto world’s ultimate “lost treasure.” It sits on the blockchain like a dormant volcano, a digital ghost ship that has not seen an onchain transaction since its creation.

Aster says its tokenomics remain unchanged after a CMC update sparked confusion over delayed unlocks, confirming unused tokens will move to a public wallet. Decentralized exchange Aster has said that its tokenomics remain unchanged after a CoinMarketCap (CMC) update triggered speculation across its community about changes to the project’s unlock schedule. The confusion began when users noticed that token unlock dates shown on Binance and CMC, previously set for 2025, had been pushed to mid-2026 and, in some cases, 2035. However, the team clarified that the data reflected on CMC was the result of a miscommunication rather than a change in policy. According to Aster, the project’s original tokenomics included monthly ecosystem unlocks, but because the team has not yet had a usage plan for these tokens, none of the scheduled unlocks were executed.

Crypto sentiment platform Santiment warned that when many people start calling a crypto market bottom, it’s wise to stay skeptical. Crypto market lows are unlikely to form at moments when many analysts and traders are calling for one, according to crypto sentiment platform Santiment. “Be cautious when you see a widespread consensus forming about a specific price bottom,” Santiment said in a report on Saturday, adding that “true bottoms often form when the majority expects prices to fall further.” Santiment said that this has recently emerged as a trending topic on social media after Bitcoin (BTC) briefly fell below $95,000 on Friday amid a wider technology stock decline. “This suggests many traders believe the worst is over,” Santiment said, arguing that historically such sentiment is often followed by further downside.

Jeff Park’s pro-CFTC comments come just days after US senators introduced a bill pushing to shift crypto oversight from the SEC to the CFTC. Despite some complexities around the recently proposed crypto market structure bill, a clearer picture is starting to form regarding crypto market oversight, according to ProCap BTC chief investment officer Jeff Park. “The CFTC will own a larger domain over crypto than the SEC,” Park said during an interview with crypto entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano published on YouTube on Friday, while emphasizing that there is still “lots of complexity with different stakeholders.” “I think that is directionally correct in my opinion,” he said. “The CFTC is in the business of financial innovation at large, and it is in the business of managing capital efficiency, and leverage and derivatives products,” he said, explaining that aligns with what the crypto industry is building, a new settlement layer that brings capital efficiency at different speeds.

Most crypto treasury companies today lack an operational business that generates cash flow to finance additional digital asset purchases. Real estate investor Grant Cardone is expanding its multifamily housing fund strategy that pairs a traditional commercial property with Bitcoin allocations, offering a hybrid approach to real estate and digital asset exposure. The company recently launched its fifth commercial multifamily investment property, a 366-unit multifamily housing complex that was purchased for about $235 million, with $100 million in Bitcoin (BTC) added to the fund, Cardone told Cointelegraph. Real estate’s low volatility, tax benefits, income generation and stable value combined with the high volatility of Bitcoin gives the fund the best of both worlds, allowing it to funnel rental income into more BTC purchases, Cardone said.
