Tether Freezes Approximately 344 Million USDT Held in Two Addresses

April 23 — Analyst Ali Charts noted in a post that ETH is currently testing a key level—one that’s historically separated bear markets from macro expansion phases. ETH is trading near its Realized Price (roughly $2,340), which reflects the average cost basis for all on-chain investors. Historically, in market recovery phases, the Realized Price has often served as a "sell wall": investors typically aim to break even when prices hit this mark. Once this level is successfully flipped to support, however, ETH usually enters a high-conviction expansion phase.

April 23rd (CoinDesk) — Bitcoin analyst James Check noted that recent quantum computing advances have sparked fresh concerns about Bitcoin. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer could theoretically break Bitcoin’s elliptic curve signatures, exposing public keys—especially for wallets from Bitcoin’s early Satoshi era. However, market data suggests even a worst-case selloff would be significant but manageable, not catastrophic. An estimated 1.7 million BTC sits in vulnerable Satoshi-era addresses, translating to ~$145 billion in potential sell pressure at current prices. But data tells a different story: - Long-term holders (155+ days) typically offload 10,000–30,000 BTC daily during bull markets; the full Satoshi-era supply would take just 2–3 months to liquidate at that pace. - During the recent bear market, over 2.3 million BTC changed hands in one quarter—more than the quantum “target supply”—without a systemic market collapse. - Monthly exchange inflows near 850,000 BTC,
