ChainCatcher News: StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson has spoken on X about the potential impact of quantum computing on the encryption industry, calling for multi-chain ecosystems, including Bitcoin, to proactively deploy post-quantum security upgrades, and has proposed a five-step action plan:
-
Recognize the threat, clearly acknowledge that once quantum computers mature, they will pose a serious challenge to existing public key cryptography systems, and take decisive actions to implement countermeasures.
-
Strengthen education and information dissemination by systematically studying the current development of quantum computing and feasible post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions, and promote related knowledge within the community to enhance overall awareness.
-
Organize resources and support collaboration with post-quantum cryptography experts, promote multiple research and engineering practices, and provide funding and community initiative support for relevant projects.
-
Consult expert advice and establish standards, with experts proposing specific technical routes, including the selection of new signature algorithm standards and the appropriate post-quantum security levels required for hash functions.
-
Drive protocol and infrastructure upgrades by introducing new quantum-resistant signature mechanisms at the core protocol layer, and ensure compatibility and integration with key infrastructure such as wallets to facilitate a smooth transition.

BTC 15-minute decline of 0.70%: Whale selling drives short-term pullback
2026-03-15 23:15 to 2026-03-15 23:30 (UTC), BTC price declined 0.70% in just 15 minutes, with a price range of 72464.7 to 73115.9 USDT and an intraday volatility of 0.89%. The anomaly occurred during the night when liquidity was lower, with concentrated short-term selling pressure triggering market attention, and price fluctuations notably intensified compared to daytime levels.
The primary driver of this anomaly was on-chain monitoring detecting multiple large BTC transfers flowing into exchanges, indicating that whales or institutions were conducting active selling operations, with selling pressure in liquidity
