On March 31, the Google Quantum AI team released a white paper with a modest title but explosive content.
The core conclusion of the paper: The quantum computing resources required to crack elliptic curve encryption (ECC-256) protecting Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets are about 20 times lower than previous estimates. Specifically, it would take fewer than 1,200 logical qubits and 90 million Toffoli gates to break the encryption on a superconducting quantum computer in less than 500,000 physical qubits, completing the process in just a few minutes.
On the same day, Caltech and quantum hardware startup Oratomic published another paper with an even more aggressive conclusion: Using a neutral atom architecture, a quantum computer would need only about 10,000 physical qubits to launch an attack.

In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Polymarket became a household name in global prediction markets thanks to zero fees and $3.3 billion in betting volume on the election.
A year and a half later, the company has decided to start charging everyone.
Starting March 30, Polymarket officially expanded its Taker fee to almost all trading categories—politics, finance, economics, culture, weather, technology—nothing is left out. Previously, only crypto and sports contracts were charged. After this expansion, the only remaining “free zone” is geopolitics.
