April 2: Bitcoin Holds Above $65K, Quantum Warnings Echo, and Drift Exploit Rocks Solana

Crypto markets stabilize with Bitcoin above $65K and altcoins like SOL, ETH, and XRP posting stronger rebounds amid easing oil/geopolitical pressure. Google's quantum whitepaper lowers the qubit threshold for breaking crypto encryption (20x fewer resources), urging post-quantum upgrades by 2029 and boosting quantum-safe tokens. Drift suffers major Solana exploit (~$200M+), while regulatory progress continues on CLARITY Act and DAO laws. Institutional treasuries mixed (Metaplanet buys big), with April catalysts like tax flows and legislation in focus—markets show cautious recovery but remain sensitive to macro risks.
