4. Cryptocurrency Market Rebounds, Trump Token Leads the Way

5. Market Uncertainty Increases Ahead of Federal Reserve Policy Meeting

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Geoff Yu, EMEA market strategist at New York Bank, expects the Federal Reserve's federal funds rate to remain unchanged this week, with the market likely to focus more on the Federal Open Market Committee's initial impressions of the Trump administration. Yu stated that this will certainly be a core issue at the press conference of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. He also mentioned that New York Bank believes there has been little change in the macroeconomic outlook compared to last December, and the Federal Reserve may acknowledge that further easing will be gradual but still dependent on data. -Original

6. Blockchain Startup BTQ Proposes Quantum Alternative

BTQ is a startup focused on building blockchain technology that can withstand attacks from quantum computers. Its researchers recently published a journal article proposing an alternative proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm involving quantum technology. Proof-of-work is a blockchain consensus mechanism that protects the Bitcoin network, where participants verify transactions through complex mathematical problems. Some criticize this process for being too energy-intensive, while others hold the opposite view. Quantum computing involves moving away from reliance on binary code (1s and 0s that open and close transistor gates). Quantum bits (qubits) exist in multiple states simultaneously, greatly enhancing computational power to the extent that modern cryptographic techniques built on traditional computers (which rely on transistors and binary code) are threatened. In the paper, BTQ researchers proposed a quantum-based alternative called Coarse-Grained Boson Sampling (CGBS). This method uses light particles (bosons) to generate unique patterns (samples) that reflect the current state of the blockchain, rather than relying on hash-based mathematical problems. Random sampling of these patterns will produce cryptography, just as random numbers form the backbone of traditional computer encryption. Boson sampling was originally created to demonstrate what is known as quantum supremacy, a test to determine whether a mathematical equation is too complex for traditional computers to handle. These samples are grouped into categories called boxes, making it easier to verify results and confirm miners' work. This method replaces traditional PoW cryptographic puzzles with quantum sampling tasks, significantly reducing energy consumption while ensuring the security and decentralization of the network. Although BTQ's proposal is theoretically interesting, implementing it would require a hard fork of the Bitcoin network, and miners and nodes would need to replace their existing ASIC-based hardware (designed for PoW consensus mechanisms) with quantum-ready infrastructure. This is certainly a daunting task that could lead to a fork, similar to the block size wars of the past few years.
