According to ChainCatcher news, according to crypto analyst Darkfost, the 30-day moving average of Bitcoin short-term holder (STH) SOPR has turned positive for the first time in the past six months, indicating that STH is on average breakeven or slightly profitable. Historical data shows that this situation often acts as a resistance level in bear markets, and holders are prone to fleeing due to lack of confidence.

ChainCatcher news, Nic Carter, a partner at Castle Island Ventures, posted a long article on the X platform pointing out that the quantum computing "canary warning" mechanism cannot provide enough buffer time for BTC, and classical computers can currently solve elliptic curve discrete logarithm problems (ECDLP) of about 117 to 130 bits, while quantum computing results below this threshold are often easily questioned about the existence of "classical cheating" or preset answers. Therefore, it is not possible to form an effective signal. Nic Carter believes that once quantum computers truly break through this classical limit, they may only be months away from directly attacking the 256-bit secp256k1 curve used by Bitcoin, while quantum signature migration will take years after Bitcoin is complete. Whether setting up a quantum crack bounty address or relying on Satoshi Nakamoto's early sleeping address as an on-chain warning, there is no guarantee that risks will be detected in advance, so the real feasible way is not to wait for a clear warning, but to start post-quantum (PQ) migration preparations immediately. Previously, BitMEX Research proposed a quantum freezing alternative: the "canary address" trigger mechanism.
