HASH and WLFI are among the poorest performers, while HYPE is actually in the green daily.

The quantum computing threat to Bitcoin has been moving from “distant” and “eventually” to “possibly within a planning horizon.” The real question here is, could cryptography timelines compress faster than the industry expects? Analysts and market commentary continues to frame the issue as one of preparedness rather than panic obviously. But it is safe to say that the work to mitigate any Q-day risks need to start right away.  Speaking of which, qLabs is set to launch its token qONE in a week with presale going live on Thursday, 5 February 2026, 2pm UTC.

Before MicroStrategy began buying Bitcoin in November 2020, it was unheard of for a public company to stack up “risky” cryptos. True, some of the best cryptos to buy have had more than 100X since their launch. However, the lack of clear regulations was a massive obstacle. This rapidly changed after Michael Saylor went all-in on Bitcoin, buying billions worth of BTC. In January 2026, Strategy sold shares and bought over $3Bn of Bitcoin. Not to be left behind, Metaplanet is also executing its own plan to raise funds and buy Bitcoin. 第三者割当による新株式及び第 25 回新株予約権の発行に関するお知らせ pic.twitter.com/YPhua9p7d3 — Metaplanet Inc. (@Metaplanet)…

The decision reflected a…
