While on the campaign trail, Donald Trump appeared like a dream for cryptocurrency investors, promising that if he is re-elected, the U.S. will become one of the world’s most friendly countries regarding digital assets. The promises were seemingly taken at face value, as the election victory generated a powerful rally with the discussion of when the government would start accumulating cryptocurrencies, per the strategic reserve promises, coming to great prominence. The reality of the new administration proved quite different, and instead of the Federal Government increasing its digital assets holdings, the value of what was already owned dropped significantly. Specifically, the U.S. was recorded as owning $21.15 billion worth of cryptocurrency on January 20, but the number dropped to $15.45 billion by press time on April 7, for a total loss of 26.67%, per the data Finbold retrieved from Arkham Intelligence on the day.

Fearing an attack by quantum computers, Bitcoin developers have already started coding the hard fork that could alter the currency’s supply. Developer Agustin Cruz is the latest dev to post a draft Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) to the Bitcoin-Dev mailing list.

His BIP contains code for a hard fork consensus change that would enact a mandatory migration of quantum-vulnerable UTXOs.  For context, Bitcoin’s Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) secures UTXOs. Unfortunately, ECDSA cannot defend against a sufficiently advanced quantum attacker. Although no quantum computer has stolen UTXOs yet, it’s possible that a more advanced machine may be able to steal them at some...

The cryptocurrency market was hit with a notable downturn Wednesday as US President Donald Trump announced a host of new tariffs. One token that could be immensely affected is Ripple, as experts predict XRP could fall 68% amid a bearish outlook derived from the market’s ‘Liberation Day’ drop. The increasingly concerning macroeconomic outlook for April has sent several cryptocurrencies into a tailspin. Indeed, even Bitcoin has dropped more than 1.2%, with the asset looking to stay above the $81,000 mark. Now, all eyes are on how these assets will respond as the geopolitical situation gets even more concerning.
