February 14 News, the Bitcoin community has recently engaged in intense discussions about post-quantum security upgrades. With the exposure of the BIP-360 proposal, core developers plan to implement a soft fork to introduce stronger resistance to quantum attacks for Taproot-based addresses. This proposal is seen as an important step for Bitcoin to address future quantum computing threats and has become a focal point of current market attention. The core goal of BIP-360 is to reduce the risk of exposing public keys in Pay-to-Taproot (P2TR) addresses during transactions. The scheme will remove the "key-to-spend" path and introduce a Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR) structure, enabling verification without exposing the public key. Since Taproot was widely adopted after its launch in 2021, related risks were initially overlooked but are now recognized as potential systemic vulnerabilities.

MetaMask officially announces the addition of native Bitcoin support in its wallet, marking an important step in its multi-chain strategy. Users can now directly purchase Bitcoin with fiat within MetaMask, conduct on-chain transfers, and exchange BTC for EVM native assets or Solana tokens without the need for third-party bridge tools, significantly enhancing the user experience and security. On the technical level, MetaMask has supported native SegWit addresses for Bitcoin and has incorporated Taproot support into its future development plans. This means that the Wallet will further enhance its transaction efficiency, fee optimization, and privacy capabilities. As the Bitcoin mainnet features continue to upgrade, MetaMask is gradually improving its infrastructure capabilities within the BTC ecosystem. This update is not only an expansion of features but is also closely tied to the incentive mechanism. Users performing Bitcoin exchange operations within MetaMask can earn MetaMask reward points, which will be linked to a MASK-style incentive program in the future. According to reports, this program may involve LINEA Tokens worth over 30 million USD to encourage user participation in a multi-chain ecosystem.

According to on-chain analyst Willy Woo, the usage ratio of Taproot output types in Bitcoin transactions has decreased from 42% in 2024 to about 20%. Woo suspects that the reason is Taproot's high risk related to quantum computing, while SegWit and Legacy formats are safer.

PANews November 9th – According to Cryptoslate, regarding a chart shared by Charles Edwards, co-founder of Capriole Investments, on the X platform, indicating that Bitcoin OGs are cashing out. On-chain analyst Willy Woo tweeted that not every move by OGs should be interpreted as a sale. He highlighted three key points often misunderstood as sales but may be unrelated to price-driven liquidations: Address upgrade: Many OG holders are transferring tokens from traditional addresses to Taproot addresses for security reasons (not for cashing out). Custody rotation: Tokens may be transferred to institutional custody (e.g., Sygnum).
