on March 12, Michelle Bowman, Vice Chair for Supervision at the Federal Reserve, stated on Thursday that after revising a comprehensive bank capital rule, capital requirements for large banks will slightly decrease. This is seen as a major victory for Wall Street banks, which had previously successfully resisted proposals to raise capital requirements in the early drafts. Bowman outlined adjustments to the Basel Accord and the Global Systemically Important Banks (GSIB) surcharge. These rules determine how much money banks need to set aside to absorb potential losses. She said that through a "reasonable calibration" of existing rules, overall capital requirements for large banks will "slightly decrease." She added that these adjustments will eliminate overlapping regulatory standards and better align capital requirements with the actual risks of banks, while noting that the practice of continuously increasing banks' loss-absorbing capital in recent years has been misguided.

 Paul S. Atkins, Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, pointed out at the Investor Advisory Committee meeting that the agency will vote on recommendations regarding the tokenization of equity securities. The SEC is expected to soon consider an innovative exemption to facilitate limited trading of certain tokenized securities, while focusing on developing a long-term regulatory framework. The Cryptocurrency Working Group has held multiple roundtable meetings over the past thirteen months, met with hundreds of market participants, solicited extensive public feedback, and received a large number of written comments to understand how best to adjust the rules to accommodate new types of trading, while still welcoming input on the design of potential innovative exemption programs.

according to a white paper released on Wednesday by Ark Invest and the Bitcoin-focused financial services company Unchained, about 65.4% of the Bitcoin supply is not threatened by breakthroughs in quantum computing, but about 34.6% of the BTC supply still faces risks.

This includes about 5 million bitcoins (accounting for 25% of the total supply) that are considered migratable due to address reuse; another 1.7 million bitcoins (accounting for 8.6% of the total supply) are believed to be lost in P2PK (Pay to Public Key) addresses, which are the earliest form of transaction scripts on the Bitcoin blockchain that lock funds directly to a public key. In addition, due to the address type being P2TR (Pay to Taproot), another 200,000 bitcoins (about 1%) are considered migratable.

The report points out that if quantum computers can break Bitcoin's Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), then this supply would be highly vulnerable to quantum theft. Breaking ECC requires about 2,330 logical qubits and tens of millions to billions of quantum gates.
