Dan Robinson, a researcher at crypto investment firm Paradigm, has proposed a new model to protect dormant Bitcoin, including those belonging to founder Satoshi Nakamoto, from future quantum computing threats, The Block reported. The model, called a provable address control timestamp (PACT), offers a way for Bitcoin holders to prove they own a wallet before quantum computing technology advances to the point where it can derive private keys. This model utilizes the blockchain's native timestamping system. Holders can prove their ownership and have it timestamped on the blockchain, creating a record of ownership to guard against future quantum attacks. The proposal is described as a potential solution to a key issue in the quantum-Bitcoin debate: how to protect the ownership and privacy of long-dormant Bitcoin addresses.

The source indicated that Tehran might consider resuming negotiations if the U.S. lifts its blockade on Iranian ports and Iran, in turn, fully reopens the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. has maintained that Iran must unconditionally allow all vessels to pass through the strait, but it has not been confirmed if Iran's latest proposal includes this concession.

Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, has made a bold prediction in its annual 'Big Ideas' report, forecasting that Bitcoin's market capitalization will reach $16 trillion by 2030. This represents a more than 10-fold increase from its current level of around $1.5 trillion, implying a compound annual growth rate of 63%. The report identifies the full-scale entry of institutional investors as the key driver for this growth. It analyzes that the launch of spot ETFs, inclusion in corporate treasuries, and adoption as a national reserve asset will accelerate, firmly establishing Bitcoin as a new institutional asset class. Specifically, the report estimates that if Bitcoin captures 40% of the total gold market's value as 'digital gold,' this scenario alone could add approximately $10 trillion to its market cap. In this process, Ark Invest projects that the price per BTC will surpass $730,000, with the total cryptocurrency market size expanding to $28 trillion.
