AWAKE announces the completion of its first round of $100 million ILO target and launches a three-round $220 million DAI liquidity pool plan. The first round of $100 million DAI has been raised through the CapybaraLaunch platform. Awake DeFi has been operating on the Polygon chain for over 750 days, with liquidity surpassing $232 million. The plan is to develop concurrently on dual chains after completing the ILO.

ME News Report, March 31 (UTC+8), Google's Quantum AI team released a white paper showcasing significant optimizations to Shor's algorithm. Shor's algorithm can break elliptic curve cryptography used by Bitcoin and Ethereum. Once quantum computers are powerful enough, attackers could derive private keys from public keys and steal funds. The team developed two sets of attack circuits requiring fewer than 1,200 and 1,450 logical qubits respectively (computing units made up of hundreds of physical qubits with error correction). On superconducting quantum computers, both circuits can complete calculations in minutes with fewer than 500,000 physical qubits. Previously, mainstream estimates suggested about 10 million physical qubits were needed; this breakthrough reduces the threshold by approximately 20 times.

Attackers can complete most of the preparatory calculations in advance before the actual attack.

According to a report by CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, over 40% of altcoins are trading near historical lows, a figure higher than the 38% during the previous bear market.

Approximately 47 million cryptocurrencies have been issued globally, with 22 million of them being Solana.

The Google Quantum AI team released a white paper demonstrating optimizations of Shor's algorithm for attacking Bitcoin and Ethereum encryption. The optimized attack circuit requires fewer than 1,450 logical qubits and can be completed within a few minutes, with the barrier lowered by approximately 20 times. About 6.9 million Bitcoins are at risk. Google is collaborating with institutions to promote quantum-resistant migration.

ME News Report, March 31 (UTC+8): Wintermute announced that the four-week easing window is coming to an end, and there are still no signs of resolution. Brent crude oil prices are above $112, the Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed, and the probability of interest rate hikes continues to rise. The macro upper limit for risk assets is lower than it was a month ago, making it difficult for Bitcoin to sustain prices above $70,000. The March 27 expiration not only cleared $14 billion in risk exposure but also eliminated delta hedge fund flows that had caused spot prices to fluctuate around key strike prices. Without this passive buy-sell support structure, the market is more prone to one-sided moves due to reduced capital flows. Additionally, negative ETF flows for Bitcoin and Ethereum, along with perpetual contract leverage that is high but shows no clear direction in low-volatility cycles, further contribute to this situation.

The Ministry of Finance announced the issuance schedule for government bonds in the second quarter of 2026, planning to issue 19 key maturity government bonds and 6 ten-year government bonds, all increased compared to 2025. Analysts believe that due to the higher deficit ratio, government bond issuance may accelerate, and the market is highly focused on the issuance arrangements for special government bonds.
