Zero-Knowledge Technology: Bitcoin’s Secret Weapon Against the Quantum Threat Quantum computing is advancing at a pace that could challenge the security of major cryptocurrencies. Recent breakthroughs suggest that tasks previously thought impossible for classical computers are now achievable in minutes, putting the underlying cryptography of Bitcoin and Ethereum at risk. The potential impact spans billions of dollars in digital assets, highlighting the urgency for protective measures. May Zero-Knowledge Cryptography Provide A Solution: Zero-knowledge cryptography allows one party to prove information without revealing the data itself. This principle can be extended with quantum-resistant math, creating a protective layer for blockchain networks. Technologies like zk-STARKs and lattice-based proofs are not reliant on quantum-vulnerable elliptic curves. Although these proofs are larger and more computationally intensive, they offer a gradual approach to quantum safety. Networks could implement ZK proofs alongside existing signatures, protecting assets while minimizing disruption.

Sean Farrell, Fundstrat’s director of cryptocurrency strategy, responded in a written statement to criticism that his market views within the firm did not align with Tom Lee’s. Farrell argued that Fundstrat has multiple analysts working with different analysis frameworks and investment horizons, aiming to serve diverse client profiles. Farrell stated that his own research focuses on portfolios with a high crypto asset weighting (approximately 20% and above) and adopts a more active management approach. He explained that Tom Lee’s work, on the other hand, caters to large-scale fund managers and investors who allocate only 1-5% of their portfolios to Bitcoin and Ethereum, aiming to generate returns from structural trends with high discipline and a long-term perspective. He added that his own goal is to achieve outperform-the-index performance in different market cycles for high crypto-weighted investors through active rebalancing. Related News FED Member Who Will Vote on Interest Rate Decisions Next Year Makes Statement on Economy and Interest Rates Farrell noted that his more cautious stance for the first half of the year was not due to a “bear market expectation” but rather a risk management approach; he drew attention to risks such as a possible government shutdown, trade fluctuations, uncertainties in AI investments, and potential changes in the Fed chairmanship. In addition, he stated that the market was “almost perfectly” priced due to narrowing high-yield bond spreads and low cross-asset volatility, while fund flows were diverging. Farrell stated that Bitcoin is currently in “uncharted territory in terms of valuation,” adding that in the long term, ETF demand could strengthen with the entry of large brokerage firms into the market, but in the short term, factors such as early investor selling, miner pressure, the possibility of MSCI removing MicroStrategy (MSTR) from its indices, and fund buybacks are creating pressure. According to Farrell’s baseline scenario, a recovery could be seen at the beginning of the year, followed by another correction in the first half, creating more attractive positioning opportunities for the end of the year. Farrell stated that if his prediction does not materialize, he would prefer to wait for confirmation signals. Despite all this uncertainty, he predicted that Bitcoin and Ethereum could test new all-time highs before the end of the year, thus ending the traditional four-year cycle with a shorter and more limited bear market. *This is not investment advice.

Despite Bitcoin $88,078.25‘s price fluctuation around $88,000 throughout the day, trading volumes plummeted due to the holiday week coinciding with Sunday. Altcoins suffered losses up to 4%, which have unsettlingly become normalized, while ETH has yet to reclaim the $3,000 mark. However, Sherpa believes that everything will improve following a painful but brief nightmare. Contents Sudden Drop in Cryptocurrency Potential Rise in Risky Assets Sudden Drop in Cryptocurrency Sherpa, an analyst known for using the pseudonym Altcoin Sherpa, provided an intriguing assessment of the current situation. Few analysts acknowledge that we are at the bottom, and Sherpa is one of them. Although he generally believes the bottom point has been reached, he anticipates that Bitcoin might visit the $75,000 range briefly, which is the lowest level of the year. “I think we have reached the local bottom, BUT I want to see one more wick below this level. Rapidly reaching the 75k level will serve as a great trigger for a long-term move and become ‘the bottom level.’ I consider this quite important.” These days, the prevailing view is that Bitcoin will dip near the 70-75k dollar range. The breakdown in the bear flag, the negative news flow of January, the lack of volume in cryptocurrencies, and the continuity of strong exits from the ETF channel encourage the bears. Potential Rise in Risky Assets The Russell 2000 index is a significant gauge for the crypto bull. An increase here indicates a growing interest in risk assets, and Kyledoops predicts an upward trend for the next year if there are no major surprises. This scenario typically signals a rise in cryptocurrencies, and with the resolution of liquidity shortages, altcoins could return to their former days. “Stocks of small-cap companies are being priced with an expectation of significant recovery. Russell 2000 (IWM) index moves with a 61% EPS growth expectation, one of the most aggressive forward expectations on record. This situation creates a clear risk-reward distribution: earnings expectations are being harshly redefined margin expansion is presumed growth is being priced in without confirmation If macroeconomic conditions remain stable, stocks of small-cap companies have the potential to rise. The upcoming few quarters will determine whether this is a recovery or optimism beyond reality.”
