The "mysterious" performance of Bitcoin in 2026 has a clear reason according to analysts: the fear of quantum computing. Research has been read by financial advisors as a structural threat to BTC, leading advisors to reduce or eliminate client exposure, even with the risk still being considered remote.

The alert gained strength after Christopher Wood of Jefferies completely removed Bitcoin from his allocation model and migrated 10% of the portfolio to physical gold and mining stocks. A study by Chaincode Labs indicates that between 20% and 50% of the bitcoins in circulation could be vulnerable to quantum attacks in the future.

Despite the immediate impact on price being limited, the market is already reacting. For some institutional investors, as long as the network does not advance in solutions against this risk, the issue will remain a burden for Bitcoin.

🚨 New Central Bank regulations also apply to P2P companies.

The BC rules are directed at Providers of Virtual Asset Services (PSAVs).

According to the official definition:

II – cryptocurrency exchange: a legal entity, even if not financial, that offers services related to operations with cryptocurrencies — including intermediation, trading, or custody — and that may accept any means of payment, including other cryptocurrencies.

🚨 What is still safe?

Transactions between individuals (P2P) carried out without the involvement of platforms, companies, or brands remain outside the scope of regulation.

Intermediaries or companies that offer P2P services are classified as intermediaries of virtual assets.

Therefore, the Central Bank requires compliance with the new rules.

🚨 Chen Zhi, who had 127.271 $BTC (US$ 15 bi) seized by the U.S. government, demands the return of the bitcoins.

He claims that the bitcoins are legitimate and asks for time to prove the origin of the funds.

The document states that the seized bitcoins were transferred to wallets controlled by the FBI in July 2024, 16 months before the seizure announcement.

🚨🚨China accuses the USA of stealing 127 thousand bitcoins in a "state-sponsored hacker attack" and covering up the crime with an "official seizure" four years later.

China published an explosive report accusing the USA of having hacked a wallet with vulnerabilities from the LuBian mining pool in 2020 and stealing 127 thousand bitcoins.

According to the document, the American government would have covered up the attack, announcing years later the "official seizure" of the same coins as if they were of criminal origin.

The monthly report from Binance Research addressed various recent trends in the cryptocurrency market.

Among the examples are the growth of x402, trading competition with AI, and privacy cryptocurrencies.

Although Bitcoin closed October down for the first time in 7 years, analysts highlight the resilience of the market.

One of the cited examples is the volatility of Bitcoin. This is because even reaching an intraday peak of 16% on October 11, the implied volatility indicator remained well below the March high.

The results seemed promising in the first days of testing while Grok and Deepseek were accumulating gains of 50%.

However, the final results proved that the AIs are not yet ready for the market. Of the six tested, only Qwen and Deepseek had profits, of 22.9% and 4.8%, respectively.

Grok and Claude, which had good initial results, ended up with losses of 47.8% and 32.7%, respectively. Gemini and ChatGPT remained in the last two positions from start to finish.
