Odaily Planet Daily reports that a16z Crypto published a lengthy article on the X platform, pointing out that the timeline for the emergence of a quantum computer (CRQC) capable of cracking cryptocurrencies is often exaggerated, and the likelihood of it appearing before 2030 is extremely low. The risk profiles of different cryptographic primitives vary. Quantum-resistant encryption faces "capture-before-decrypt" (HNDL) attacks and requires immediate deployment. Quantum-resistant signatures and zkSNARKs, however, are less susceptible to HNDL attacks; premature migration could lead to performance overhead, immature implementation, and code vulnerabilities, thus requiring a cautious rather than hasty migration strategy. For blockchains, most non-privacy public chains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum primarily use digital signatures for transaction authorization, thus posing no HNDL risk. Their migration pressure mainly stems from non-technical challenges such as slow governance, social coordination, and technical logistics. Bitcoin faces unique problems including slow governance and the existence of millions of quantum-fragile tokens worth hundreds of billions of dollars that could potentially be abandoned. In contrast, privacy chains, due to their encryption or concealment of transaction details, do indeed face the risk of HNDL attacks and should be transitioned to as soon as possible. a16z Crypto emphasizes that in the coming years, implementation security issues such as code vulnerabilities, side-channel attacks, and fault injection attacks are more pressing and significant security risks than the distant threat of quantum computers. Developers should prioritize investing in code auditing, fuzzing, and formal verification.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, the regulation of crypto assets in the United States is accelerating. If the proposed crypto market structure bill is ultimately passed, it will clarify the regulatory authority of federal regulators over digital assets, making cryptocurrencies easier to manage, track, and trade, potentially attracting more investors and increasing token value. It is understood that crypto platforms such as Coinbase and Kraken will follow a registration system, while stablecoin issuers such as Circle and Tether will need to meet bank-like regulatory requirements to ensure the safety of retail investors' assets. The subsequent process includes: approval by two Senate committees, a full Senate vote, final signature by the House of Representatives, and finally, signature by Trump. Overall, most crypto investors will not be affected in the short term, but in the long run, the bill is expected to provide a safer and more predictable trading environment, while making the compliance operations of crypto platforms more transparent.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has confirmed that World Liberty Financial's (WLF) application for a national trust bank license will undergo rigorous review under current regulatory standards. This comes in response to Senator Elizabeth Warren's earlier request to suspend the review, after she questioned the project's potential to generate billions of dollars in "paper wealth" for President Trump and his children. OCC Supervisor Jonathan Gould emphasized that WLFI's application will be subject to the same rigorous evaluation as any other application. (Cointelegraph)

Huoxun Finance News, January 25th - According to Caixin.com, as AI almost dominated the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026, virtual currencies, which were once extremely popular in Davos, have returned to the spotlight. Representatives from traditional banks and regulatory agencies, along with cryptocurrency leaders, engaged in a heated debate on whether tokenization is on the verge of explosive growth, how digital currencies can reshape sovereign boundaries, and the foundation of trust in the financial system. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong pointed out that tokenization solves the efficiency problem of the financial system, enabling real-time settlement and reducing fees, but its core strength lies in "democratizing investment access." Euroclear CEO Valérie Urbanin views tokenization as "the evolution of financial markets and securities," potentially allowing issuers to shorten issuance cycles and reduce issuance costs, and also helping the market "reach a wider range of investors," playing a role in "financial inclusion." 3. French Central Bank Governor François Villeroy de Galhau believes that increasing investment opportunities must be accompanied by a simultaneous improvement in financial literacy; otherwise, tokenization could turn into a disaster. 4. Standard Chartered Group CEO Bill Winters stated bluntly that while achieving the tokenization of the vast majority of transactions by 2028 might be somewhat optimistic, the trend of "the vast majority of assets eventually being settled digitally" is irreversible. 5. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse quoted former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke as saying that governments will not relinquish control over the money supply. Ripple's current strategy leans more towards building a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized finance than challenging sovereignty itself.
