The cryptocurrency accelerator Alliance DAO co-founder QwQiao stated that he believes no one can confidently say whether AI stocks are currently expensive, cheap, or fairly priced. He mentioned that this requires predicting future AI breakthroughs, supply chains, credit markets, politics, and macroeconomic conditions, and such a person does not exist.QwQiao indicated that charts, investor psychology, and position situations suggest that AI trading is almost certainly a massive bubble, and when the bubble bursts, they always decline excessively. He stated that the conditions that would give him confidence to heavily buy AI stocks are that the charts finally appear to be undergoing a long bottoming process, investor psychology is thoroughly and completely damaged, and AI is being dismissed as worthless on CNBC.

According to sources, U.S. Vice President Vance is seeking to establish a "new right-wing alliance" with voters disappointed in Trump ahead of the 2028 election cycle. Following the Republican midterm election losses, Vance published a lengthy article on Wednesday morning local time, taking a different stance from Trump on issues such as foreign policy and U.S.-Israel relations. A source revealed that a meeting was held at the White House on Wednesday morning, aimed at ensuring government officials maintain a unified message in the aftermath of the midterm elections.Vance previously posted, "The reason we lost is this war." "The President himself said the same last night." Vance stated that a polling expert outlined four tasks that could bring voters back to the Republican Party: ending the war, focusing on the cost of living and inflation, putting America first, and changing the relationship with Israel. In September, Vance indicated that he would not refer to the Iran conflict as a "war." A government official noted that these four tasks are Vance's rallying cry for the "new right." The official stated that Vance's position is not to break away from Trump but to send a signal to Republicans who support Trump but disagree with his foreign policy or feel betrayed, indicating that "Vance is one of us." This information comes from Fox News.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng responded for the first time to the incident of approximately $6.3 billion being stolen from Binance during an interview with Talking Tokens, stating that all hacking attacks are preventable and that a long period without security incidents can lead to complacency in enterprises.He pointed out that the frequency of hacking attacks on cryptocurrency exchanges has risen from about once a month to almost once a week, with AI accelerating the development of attack capabilities, while the industry's defensive capabilities have not kept pace. He called for the cryptocurrency industry to form a security alliance to share best security practices, conduct cross-audits, and achieve rapid coordination in freezing stolen funds, expressing hope to promote the establishment of this alliance.Regarding government cooperation, Zhao Changpeng stated that there has been no communication with Trump or Washington regarding this incident, but he hopes to receive assistance from the U.S. government. He also mentioned that when it comes to communication with North Korea, perhaps only the U.S. and China have the necessary conditions. Speaking about market reactions,Zhao Changpeng noted that on the day Binance was attacked, the decline in the cryptocurrency market was less than that of tech stocks, a situation that is almost unheard of. He believes this is due to Binance's prompt confirmation of user fund security and its ability to provide full compensation.He also revealed that less than 10% of the stolen funds flowed to other centralized exchanges; recently, some hardware wallets have also been attacked, and some users have returned their funds to Binance after comparing the security situations of different platforms. Binance switched from net outflow to net inflow within less than 24 hours based on hourly statistics.Regarding the future of the industry, Zhao Changpeng believes that AI will enhance the security of the cryptocurrency industry and software systems in the medium to long term, and may even detect vulnerabilities in blockchain software before quantum computing can crack the existing encryption systems. At the same time, AI will drive trading speeds far beyond current levels, and blockchain may become the only financial technology capable of supporting such trading speeds. He also reminded retail investors to strengthen the use of asset protection tools and to continuously pay attention to industry security dynamics.

The founder and CEO of the cryptocurrency trading platform Gate, Han Lin, posted on X: Six years ago, Gate was the first to promote the implementation of on-chain reserve proof across the industry because transparency is not an option, but a bottom line. After the security incident that day, he called for the industry to form a security alliance to establish unified preemptive security standards, intrusion detection norms, and post-incident emergency response mechanisms.Han Lin stated: Every crisis is an opportunity for the industry to rebuild trust, and this time we need to set the standards higher together. Earlier that same evening, he mentioned that in response to the Binance security incident, the Gate security team had completed a comprehensive inspection, the platform was not affected, user assets were safe, and deposits, withdrawals, and transactions were normal. The on-chain reserves can be checked at any time, and the addresses involved have been included in tracking. Any related fund inflows will be immediately frozen, and the security team can provide assistance to Binance.

The co-founder of the crypto startup accelerator AllianceDAO, Wang Qiao, stated that he is not worried about the crypto community's ability to cope with future AI and quantum threats, asserting that within the next two years, the world will realize that compared to the internet and traditional finance, cryptocurrencies are much better prepared for this.He mentioned that for the past decade, the crypto market has been a trillion-dollar scale and irreversible honey pot, which is an extremely attractive target for attacks, creating a system that has been tested in real combat far more than almost anywhere else on Earth, as well as a confrontational security culture.

Imran Khan, co-founder of Alliance, expressed his views on a16z crypto's shift towards cutting-edge technology. He stated that he is always grateful to a16z for leading the investment in Coinbase in 2013, which provided external validation for the crypto industry; Marc Andreessen's 2014 article "Why Bitcoin Matters" in The New York Times pushed him to shift his career towards Bitcoin.Imran Khan mentioned that at that time, very few institutions or funds were willing to publicly support crypto, and a16z and USV were two funds that took on brand risk. Since then, a large number of talents have entered and reshaped the crypto industry. He believes that the current infrastructure development in artificial intelligence has a practical connection with Bitcoin mining infrastructure and the talent flowing from crypto to artificial intelligence.He stated that the shift from crypto to cutting-edge technologies such as robotics, biology, artificial intelligence, energy, and computing power means that the talents and capabilities built in crypto over the past decade can be applied to a broader range of fields. He cited the resistance faced by data centers as an example, noting that crypto also faced opposition, but traditional finance has now accepted crypto to a certain extent. He believes that cutting-edge technology is the next generation of technology builders, and the world often recognizes the importance of new technologies many years later.

According to Decrypt, nine blockchain organizations including Quantus, Postquant Labs, Midnight Foundation, Keystone, Abelian, and Hacken have jointly established the Quantum Alliance, aiming to develop "quantum-ready" open standards and establish a unified approach to test the quantum resistance of blockchain networks, wallets, and infrastructure.The Quantum Alliance stated that currently, approximately 6.04 million BTC, accounting for about 30% of the Bitcoin supply, are at potential risk of quantum attacks due to the exposure of elliptic curve signature public keys. The organization will focus on promoting blockchain migration, post-quantum zero-knowledge systems, wallet security, and cross-chain compatibility, citing recent predictions that practical quantum attack windows may appear as early as around 2028.

According to CoinDesk, nine cryptocurrency companies announced the establishment of a Quantum Alliance on Thursday, planning to develop universal security standards for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other blockchain networks to address the threats posed by future quantum computers.The alliance estimates that about 6.4 million Bitcoins, or 30.2% of the supply, have their public keys exposed, and future quantum computers could reverse-engineer wallet public keys to recover private keys and steal assets. The alliance explained that since no quantum computer currently has sufficient computing power, these Bitcoins cannot be stolen in this manner for the time being. Members include Hacken, Midnight Foundation under Charles Hoskinson, the quantum-resistant layer one blockchain Quantus, and Postquant Labs.There are significant differences in the industry regarding when the quantum threat will arrive. Bryn Bennett, Chief Revenue Officer of The Vault, stated that no one knows the exact date, but estimates are continuously being revised downward, and this risk can be planned for in advance. The question for custodians is not whether the threat will appear in 2028 or 2035, but whether they can complete the migration if it arrives earlier.Richard Carback, Chief Technology Officer of Postquant Labs, believes that it is realistic for machines capable of breaking existing cryptography to emerge by 2028. Recent research has lowered the estimates of the computing power required to attack Bitcoin and Ethereum, but currently, no existing machines can break their cryptography, and related predictions remain controversial.The question of whether to freeze vulnerable Bitcoins has also sparked debate. Bennett pointed out that no one is responsible for this issue; custodians only protect client assets, not abandoned assets. Freezing tokens is a governance decision of the Bitcoin network, and any freeze would set a precedent of exchanging quantum risk for property rights and neutrality. Carback prefers to transfer vulnerable tokens and suggested placing them in a trust, allowing holders who can prove ownership to reclaim their funds.Binance founder Changpeng Zhao once suggested that if quantum technology advances and Satoshi Nakamoto's approximately 1.1 million Bitcoins remain untouched, they should be frozen; Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp also proposed limiting vulnerable tokens to prevent theft, but critics argue that freezing someone else's Bitcoins contradicts the promise that no one can confiscate Bitcoins. Achieving quantum resistance requires replacing the digital signatures that authorize transactions, which necessitates consensus among developers, miners, wallet service providers, exchanges, and users. The new signatures may also occupy more block space, increasing transaction fees or reducing the number of transactions Bitcoin can process.

According to CoinDesk, Arbitrum announced its participation in the stablecoin alliance Global Dollar Network led by Paxos, with its issued stablecoin USDG going live on Arbitrum on Tuesday.This integration covers trading, lending, and payment scenarios, with partners including Fluid, Morpho, GMX, Maple, Li.Fi, Gauntlet, Steakhouse, LayerZero, and Kraken, while Uniswap and Fhenix will be integrated later.USDG is issued by Paxos, supported by a 1:1 dollar reserve, with cross-network circulation exceeding $3 billion. The Global Dollar Network has over 150 partners, including Robinhood, Kraken, Mastercard, and OKX. Its model distributes the earnings generated from USDG reserves to partners that promote adoption, rather than being solely enjoyed by the issuer. Currently, there are about $3.8 billion in stablecoins on the Arbitrum network, with approximately 60% being Circle's USDC, and previously, Arbitrum was unable to directly share the reserve earnings of these tokens.Brendan Ma, the investment strategy director of the Arbitrum Foundation, stated that with USDG, Arbitrum and ecosystem builders can now share the benefits of growth.

Imran Khan, co-founder of Alliance, stated that Coinbase founder Brian Armstrong and Robinhood co-founder Vlad Tenev are leveraging their respective backgrounds to carve out different tracks in the cryptocurrency market.Vlad has built Robinhood into a platform centered around retail trading, deeply understanding the psychology and trading motivations of high-risk tolerant retail investors, which will give him an advantage in controlling retail speculation and trading in the future; while Brian has dedicated the past decade to popularizing Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency value system, deeply rooted in the Silicon Valley tech startup ecosystem, which determines that Coinbase and Base are more inclined to build underlying financial infrastructure aimed at changing the real world.Imran believes that although there is overlap in their businesses, the market space is large enough, and one party's activity in speculative trading does not mean the other party will fail. Both will lead millions of new users into the on-chain world from completely different entry points.
