Odaily Planet Daily reports that according to NYDIG research director Greg Cipolaro, there is a divergence in sentiment between U.S. institutional investors and offshore traders in the Bitcoin market. Currently, the CME Bitcoin futures annualized basis is higher than that of offshore exchange Deribit, indicating that U.S. hedge funds and other institutions still prefer to pay premiums to maintain long positions, while interest in leveraged long exposure in the offshore market has significantly declined.
In response to previous market rumors that “quantum computing threats” caused Bitcoin to drop to $60,000, NYDIG states that the data does not support this logic. Recently, Bitcoin’s price movement has shown a positive correlation with quantum computing-related stocks such as IONQ and D-Wave, rather than a reverse divergence. If quantum computing truly posed a targeted threat, these stocks should rise when Bitcoin falls. The current synchronized decline reflects a general decrease in market risk appetite for long-term growth assets. Additionally, Google Trends data shows that increased search volume for related topics usually correlates with rising rather than falling prices, indicating that the topic is more driven by market hype than panic selling.

Sell-off warning lights up red! 47% of circulating Bitcoin is “trapped,” and long-term holders are also cutting losses and exiting
The cryptocurrency market is facing a cold wind, with nearly half of Bitcoin already falling below cost, and long-term investors have also begun selling at a loss.

Google quantum computer reportedly breaks Bitcoin in 9 minutes—how are those numbers calculated, and where is the real threat?
Recently, rumors circulating online claim that “Google research shows quantum computers can crack Bitcoin private keys within 9 minutes,” but this is actually misinformation; there is no source for the data. In fact, cracking Bitcoin’s ECDSA requires 1.9 billion qubits, far more than Google Willow’s 105. The real threat is that an attacker can first collect data and then use a quantum computer to decrypt it; experts’ predictions for when quantum computers can crack encryption are in the 2035–2040 timeframe. The cryptography industry has already begun preparing defensive measures.
