Post-quantum cryptography institution BTQ Technologies has launched a permissionless forked testnet called “Bitcoin Quantum” to protect the Bitcoin blockchain. Chris Tam, Head of Partnerships at BTQ, stated that the network operates publicly, allowing miners, developers, researchers, and users to conduct post-quantum transaction stress tests and reveal real-world trade-offs during operation. The system adopts the post-quantum algorithm Dilithium (ML-DSA), which was standardized in the United States in August 2024, but due to high operational costs, it has not yet been widely adopted in the cryptocurrency sector.

The Seoul Composite Index in South Korea rose 0.49%, paring some of its early morning gains. Brent crude fell 1.2% to around $94 per barrel, facing its longest losing streak in nearly a year. The decline in oil prices has eased market concerns over inflation, which had previously been driven up by yields reaching multi-decade highs, putting pressure on the bond market. Both Australian and New Zealand 10-year government bond yields dropped by at least 3 basis points, while US Treasury futures climbed in tandem.
