U.S. CFTC Acting Chairman: Enforcement Division Restructured, Refocused on Combating Fraud

On February 6th, Michael Saylor addressed concerns about Bitcoin’s quantum computing risk during MicroStrategy’s fourth-quarter earnings call, dismissing those claims as mere FUD surrounding Bitcoin. Saylor noted that quantum computing remains over a decade away from true maturity—currently a promising but early-stage technology. Many industries, including financial services and defense, still heavily rely on traditional cryptographic systems. Worldwide, investment and research into post-quantum cryptographic protocols (to counter quantum threats) are intensifying. The Bitcoin community has also been engaging in and contributing to relevant R&D efforts. If Bitcoin ever requires an upgrade in the future, a global consensus will be reached. Once post-quantum security upgrades are deployed, Bitcoin will only grow stronger. MicroStrategy plans to launch a Bitcoin security initiative, partnering with global cybersecurity, cryptographic, and Bitcoin security communities.

On February 6th, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley told CNBC in an interview: “Bitcoin’s had a double-digit single-day drop, is now in a bear market, and has fallen nearly 30% since the start of the year. As for why? I think the crypto market’s currently caught up in the broader macro environment—investors are dumping all liquid assets right now. Gold’s down, the Nasdaq 100’s falling, and even Amazon’s being sold off. Over the past few months, the crypto space has had some internal issues—like offshore trading platforms hitting operational snags—but right now, crypto assets are trading more in sync with other high-liquidity assets. Long-term holders are feeling uncertain, but new institutional investors see this as a ‘second chance’—prices they thought they’d missed out on forever are back. We’re in a transitional phase right now. At the end of the day, crypto’s still a tiny asset class; most investors haven’t fully allocated to it yet. So the long-term outlook is solid—we’re just
