500 Dormant Bitcoin Move After 12 Years as Early Investors React to Post-Quantum Risks

Analyst CryptoQuant Maartunn detected a major on-chain transaction in which 500 $BTC, which had remained completely dormant for more than 10 years, were moved to a new address for the first time. On the Spent Output Age Bands chart for 10-year-old Bitcoin, this activity appeared as an isolated green spike.  The transfer of such an old wallet coincided with the release of major research and news in the quantum technology sector, namely Glassnodes report on Bitcoins quantum security. According to analysts, 30.2% (6.04 million $BTC) of the total market supply is already potentially vulnerable to future quantum attacks.  500 $BTC that hadnt moved in 10 years just moved.  Is the quantum threat forcing whales to act?  The vulnerability is tied to exposed public keys on addresses from the Satoshi Nakamoto era and poor wallet hygiene, including address reuse and custodial storage practices. A quantum computer could hypothetically derive a private key only where the public key has already been exposed on-chain.  Exchanges account for around 1.66 million $BTC within this risk category. Approximately 5% of Coinbase-held $BTC is considered vulnerable, compared to around 85% for Binance and nearly 100% for Bitfinex.

Nearly 10% of Bitcoin supply is ‘structurally unsafe’ from quantum breakthrough: Glassnode

Nearly 10% of the total Bitcoin supply is considered “structurally unsafe” due to a quantum computing breakthrough, as their output type reveals the public key by design, regardless of address management practices, according to data analytics platform Glassnode.  Totaling about 1.92 million Bitcoin ($BTC), the group includes $BTC from early Satoshi-era Pay-to-Public-Key (P2PK) outputs, legacy multi-sig structures such as Pay-to-Multisig (P2MS) and modern Pay-to-Taproot (P2TR) outputs, which reveal the public key or public key-equivalent by design, wrote Glassnode in a Wednesday X post.  Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamotos coins represent about 1.1 million or 5.5% of the vulnerable supply, following another 620,000 Satoshi-era coins or 3.1% of the supply and about 200,000 coins or 1% of the supply in Taproot addresses.  Choosing how to implement PQC [post-quantum cryptography] and deploy it on-chain should remain decoupled from the question of what to do about coins that remain quantum vulnerable. Yet the two matters often are conflated, the controversy around the latter often clouding discussions of the former - ARK Invest  The findings underscore the need to implement a quantum-proof path for Bitcoin, such as the adoption of BIP-360s proposed Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR) output type, which seeks to remove Taproots quantum-vulnerable key path spend, though it does not

Ethereum Price Prediction: ETH Holds $2,100 as Whales Exit

Ethereum is holding the lower edge of its green Gaussian Channel, keeping the short-term bounce setup alive near $2,100. However, whale count data shows large ETH holders have been leaving or consolidating positions, putting the $2,000 support level back in focus.  Ethereum Price Backtests Green Gaussian Channel as $2,100 Support Holds  Ethereum is backtesting the green Gaussian Channel on the daily Bitstamp chart shared by Sky on X, with price holding near the lower channel area for several sessions.  The ETH/USD chart shows Ethereum trading near $2,110 after pulling back from the recent range near $2,370. The latest candles sit close to the lower edge of the green Gaussian Channel, where the analyst marked a possible support reaction.  ETH/USD Daily Gaussian Channel Chart. Source:  The channel had already flipped from purple to green. That matters because the previous purple phase showed weaker trend conditions, while the green phase points to a possible recovery setup.  However, ETH still needs to hold the current support area. The chart shows the lower channel band near $2,102, while price remains only slightly above it.  A daily close below this zone would weaken the backtest and could bring the lower range near $2,025 back into focus.  If Ethereum holds the channel, the first

More car buyers are shifting to EVs — but the reasons why are nuanced

Customers are continuing to shift to electric vehicles, but industry analysts say the picture is complicated.  A rising share of car buyers traded their gas cars in for EVs in April, according to data Edmunds shared with CNBC. In January, 67.1% of buyers purchasing a new EV at dealerships traded in a gas car. By April, that climbed 7%, to 72.1%, according to the auto site.  The data also showed that EV loyalty numbers are rising: In January, 26.2% of buyers traded in an older EV for a new EV and 34.3% traded for a used one. Those numbers rose, as of April 26, to 35.4% and 44.5%, respectively.  These data points indicate EV interest is growing, despite the loss of federal and some state incentives that encouraged consumers to purchase the vehicles, and a pivot among many automakers back to internal combustion and hybrid vehicles.  Analysts and industry insiders have cited rising fuel prices as a possible factor motivating these decisions. The national average gas prices has risen roughly 44% from the same period a year ago, according to AAA.  Edmunds Senior Director of Insights Ivan Drury said its still a bit too early to tell if this is a strong, lasting shift.  Oil and

Polymarket wallets made $2.4M on Iran bets – Was insider trading involved?

Suspicion surrounding geopolitical prediction markets increasingly intensified after nine connected Polymarket wallets reportedly generated over $2.4 million from Iran war betting activity.  Investigators already linked the cluster to more than 80 highly accurate positions with reported win rates near 98%.  Source: X  Those accounts allegedly predicted the exact timing of U.S. strikes, leadership developments, and eventual ceasefire announcements before broader public confirmation emerged.  Bubblemaps Co-Founder and CEO Nicolas Vaiman later stated that statistical probability alone could not reasonably explain the trading precision behind those positions.  Scrutiny also strengthened after authorities indicted a U.S. Army soldier last month for allegedly using classified intelligence to earn over $400,000 through Polymarket activity. Meanwhile, prediction market volume on military outcomes surpassed $1 billion during 2026.  That progression increasingly exposed insider-information risks across anonymous geopolitical betting markets.  Political betting rapidly reshapes prediction markets  As insider-trading concerns increasingly spread across prediction markets, speculative capital also continued accelerating into geopolitical and regulatory event trading.  TRM Labs data already showed monthly prediction market volume expanding from roughly $1.2 billion during early 2025 toward nearly $20 billion by early 2026.  Source: TRM Labs  That momentum strengthened further once traders increasingly treated military developments, political shifts, and crypto legislation like tradable financial assets.  Polymarket users also currently assign nearly 64% odds for

TON Price Prediction: $2.30 Rally Expected as Oversold Signals Flash Green

The Immediate Setup  TON trades at $2.02 following a 4.06% surge in the past 24 hours, but beneath the surface momentum tells a different story. The stochastic oscillator has collapsed to 15.84 on the %K line, deep into oversold territory that historically precedes sharp reversals in trending assets. While RSI maintains neutral positioning at 55.41, this divergence between price stability and momentum exhaustion creates compelling entry conditions. The MACD histogram sits at zero, indicating momentum is coiling for the next directional move. Price action has consolidated perfectly at the 20-day simple moving average, forming an ideal launching platform above all major trend indicators except the short-term 7-day average.  Critical Resistance and Support Framework  The technical landscape reveals a well-defined roadmap for the anticipated move higher. Immediate resistance emerges at $2.10, where buyers must establish control before challenging the more significant $2.18 level that represents the gateway to larger gains. On the downside, support converges around $1.93 with additional backing from the 26-period exponential moving average at $1.91. Should selling pressure intensify, the 50-day simple moving average at $1.60 marks the critical long-term support that would determine whether this consolidation extends into a deeper correction. The current positioning right at the 20-day average creates

Bitcoin Eyes $78K Resistance as Bitfinex Longs Hit 2.5-Year High, Trump Media Pulls ETF

A five-day slide for Bitcoin failed to deter leveraged traders on Bitfinex, where margin longs climbed to roughly 80,636 BTC, their highest reading since December 2023. The position size represents continued accumulation by deep-pocketed traders even as the asset has slumped 13% year-to-date and remains around 35% below its October all-time high near $126,000. Margin longs have actually grown about 10% since January, a counter-trend posture that historically expands during periods of capitulation. Bitcoin is now wrestling with the True Market Mean and short-term holder cost basis near $78,000, with the 200-day moving average overhead at roughly $81,000.  Trump Media resistance starts at $78,460 before the heavier $80,476 and $82,905 zones. RSI at 47.8 leaves the asset in neutral-to-soft territory, and a bearish MACD signal alongside a sideways trend argues for caution near the upper band. A reclaim of $78,460 on rising volume would validate the bullish case toward $80,500; a daily close beneath $76,825 likely opens the path to the $75K handle and invalidates the recovery thesis.

Phillies’ Don Mattingly Points To Kyle Schwarber Strikeouts As He Sits Out

The Philadelphia Phillies are enjoying a dramatic turnaround after a change at the helm, but it is being powered by a group of familiar faces.  Since the Phillies replaced long-time manager Rob Thomson with new bench coach Don Mattingly, they have rattled off the best record in the National League. But on the surface, at least, Mattingly hasnt made many big changes and the roster has stayed largely the same in recent years.  Even during this latest surge, the team‘s offense is still being powered by Kyle Schwarber, who was the team’s MVP Award candidate last year before signing a new contract to return.  “Schwarber, even in his early 30s, has taken his offensive game to a whole new level. In 2025, Schwarber exploded with 56 home runs, a new career high,” Ian Miller wrote for Fox News. “Through the first 46 games of the 2026 season, he might be on his way to an even more impressive and historic number. Remarkably, Schwarbers already hit 20 home runs through his first 46 games. Through 162 games, that would put him on pace for 70 home runs in 2026.”  Philadelphia Phillies Superstar Slugger Kyle Schwarber Removed From Lineup  One key to Schwarbers production over the last
