According to Bitcoin.com, research by the quantum computing company Alice & Bob estimates that a fault-tolerant quantum computer with approximately 29,588 physical qubits could solve the 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography problem used by Bitcoin in about 61.8 minutes. This problem underpins the digital signatures used for Bitcoin transaction authorization, and the research results are theoretical resource estimates, not indicative of the current capabilities of existing quantum computers to break encryption.The research also estimates that 22,593 physical qubits could break RSA-2048 encryption in about 3.14 days. The relevant calculations utilize cat qubits technology aimed at reducing quantum errors, combined with more efficient error-correcting codes and improvements to Shor's algorithm.If a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could derive private keys from publicly available public keys, the associated Bitcoins could face risks of unauthorized signatures and asset theft. The estimated breaking time is still longer than Bitcoin's average block interval of about 10 minutes; approximately 6.9 million Bitcoins may be at risk due to the corresponding public keys being publicly available.

According to Bloomberg, the prediction market platform Polymarket is investigating a series of timely and profitable trades that emerged during this week's Israeli elections. According to Bloomberg's analysis, shortly before the voting ended on Tuesday, hundreds of new accounts concentrated their predictions, believing that Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party would perform better than their competitors.After some exit polls indicated that Netanyahu's camp won more seats than earlier reports suggested, these trades quickly turned profitable, with some accounts cashing out over $100,000. This is the latest case in the prediction market that has raised concerns about insider trading, as Polymarket has previously faced extensive scrutiny from regulators and public opinion for its accurate predictions related to sports, the U.S. elections, and geopolitical events.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, on October 29, the Central Bank of Russia approved the National Association of Participants in the Securities Market (NAUFOR) to become the country's first self-regulatory organization for cryptocurrency exchanges and digital custodians. This move implements the "Digital Currency and Digital Rights Law," which was passed by the State Duma in July, into an operational system. The law requires exchange operators and digital custodians to enter the central bank's registry and must join a self-regulatory organization.The central bank's registry currently includes 23 cryptocurrency exchanges and 8 digital custodians, including VTB, Sberbank, and T-Bank's parent company T-Technologies. Companies listed in the registry must complete their membership within 90 days. The self-regulatory organization is responsible for setting industry standards, supervising members, and communicating with regulators on behalf of the industry.NAUFOR stated that it will participate in the formulation of standards for the digital asset market and promote adjustments to the rules by the central bank. The association earlier this month obtained similar qualifications in the field of information system operators and currently has 725 members.The law prohibits the use of Bitcoin for everyday payments, and domestic cryptocurrency payments remain banned. It also issues licenses to exchanges and custodians, limits retail investors' purchase amounts, and establishes state-regulated cross-border trading channels. Non-qualified retail investors can purchase up to 300,000 rubles, approximately $3,800, per year through a single intermediary. Additionally, the Moscow Exchange has tested cryptocurrency trading with professional market participants and plans to launch in December; Sberbank has also been approved to custody Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency assets.

The automated market-making protocol Yield Basis, founded by Curve founder Michael Egorov, announced the launch of a permissionless propAMM, aiming to upgrade its liquidity mechanism on Curve. This design combines market perception pricing with dynamic fees, aiming to increase trading volume, reduce arbitrage losses, and improve liquidity provider returns. According to its simulations over the past 18 months, Yield Basis's WETH position is projected to grow at an annualized rate of 8.5% in ETH terms under the new design, compared to 3.6% under existing parameters.Officials stated that WETH liquidity providers do not need to take additional actions, as the new design will directly affect their respective liquidity pools. The small transaction fee for pulling the pool price back to the market price is 0.50%, and anyone can submit prices or deposit funds, with the relevant code being open source. The WETH pool will be deployed first, and Bitcoin-related liquidity pools will follow after the successful deployment of the WETH pool.According to the announcement, the liquidity pool will charge based on the profits earned by arbitrageurs from trades, retaining about two-thirds of the profits above the minimum fee. The new design features lower single transaction fees, with simulated trading volumes approaching three times the current levels, requiring donations of about one-quarter of the current amount. The Yield Basis DAO owns the strategy, and the Curve Emergency DAO can shut it down in emergencies, while the Curve liquidity pool contract itself remains unchanged. Curve DAO vote 1508 will connect the strategy to the WETH pool and set the reserved profit ratio, while Yield Basis vote 60 will set the LevAMM fee at 1.5% (currently 1.3%), with the donation rate being about 1.2% of the pool value per year (currently about 5%). The above simulations only include arbitrage exchanges and do not account for regular trading and liquidation.

New York Governor Hochul officially signed a new bill on Wednesday, prohibiting minors from using artificial intelligence chatbots with virtual companion attributes. This is one of the most comprehensive regulatory measures in the United States regarding consumer-grade AI models to date. The bill requires relevant operators, including ChatGPT under OpenAI, to implement reasonable age verification measures, prohibiting the provision of high-risk chatbot features listed in the bill to users under 18 or those whose adulthood has not yet been confirmed.According to the bill, the relevant chatbots are not allowed to output content that may mislead minors into believing they possess life, human attributes, or real emotions. They must not induce adolescents to have the illusion of a mutual emotional, professional consulting, or authoritative guidance relationship, nor can they package generated content as personal opinions. The system is also prohibited from retaining sensitive privacy data related to the mental and physical health of minors. Hochul stated at the signing ceremony that the core goal of the legislation is to sever the emotional binding chain of AI impersonating minors' "friends" or "lovers," protecting the mental and physical health of young people.The children's media advocacy organization Common Sense Media expressed support for the bill, calling it the strictest children's AI safety law in the United States. The tech industry has strongly pushed back, criticizing the overly broad definitions of the provisions and emphasizing that minors should not be deprived of access to cutting-edge learning tools. As of now, companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic have not publicly responded to this.
