BitMEX proposes \'canary fund\' instead of pre-emptive freeze on dormant bitcoin

Crypto exchange BitMEX proposed an alternative to pre-emptively freezing bitcoin vulnerable to quantum computers, introducing a “canary” approach that would activate a freeze only if a real threat is demonstrated. It suggested creating a special bitcoin address whose private key is unknown but valid, with users sending bitcoin as a bounty. If funds are withdrawn, it would signal a quantum threat. The proposal is positioned as an alternative to BIP-361.

Three paths could shape bitcoin, Arthur Hayes says Fed is key

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said the key variable for a bitcoin rebound is whether the U.S. Federal Reserve supplies liquidity. He outlined three main paths and one middle case for investors, excluding an extreme nuclear-war scenario. Hayes pointed to job shocks in the U.S. from AI, possible Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz and a U.S. move to reopen it by force. He said bitcoin could be range-bound until the Fed acts.
