According to @BitMEXResearch, the bitnod.es BIP110 activation monitoring chart shows the Bitcoin network has entered the second signalling epoch with no miner signalling recorded so far.

The Christmas-themed progress chart was also inscribed on-chain and is viewable via Ordiscan inscription dd4c5906a402962822dd9d76dba3afd49fa9baea412bbd94d4a827389b694e9di0.

For traders, versionbits-style deployments require sufficient miner signalling within a difficulty-epoch window to activate, so the current lack of signalling means activation cannot complete in this window unless signalling begins and reaches the threshold.

According to BitMEX Research, there has been significant technological progress in quantum-resistant signature schemes that Bitcoin could use, as reported in a Dec 23, 2025 thread (source: BitMEX Research, Dec 23, 2025). BitMEX Research shared a chart showing the signature sizes in bytes and the dates these schemes were proposed for Bitcoin, providing concrete data points for assessing potential on-chain data overhead if any scheme is later evaluated by developers (source: BitMEX Research, Dec 23, 2025). The post does not announce any activation, adoption, or timeline, indicating no immediate protocol catalyst from this update alone for BTC price action (source: BitMEX Research, Dec 23, 2025).

According to @RhythmicAnalyst, discussion around BTC v30 led them to examine OP_RETURN-related changes and potential implications for market behavior, as shared on X on Oct 10, 2025 (source: @RhythmicAnalyst on X, Oct 10, 2025). The post notes a recent rise in privacy coin prices and suggests there could be a connection to BTC v30, while explicitly stating that no direct link is confirmed (source: @RhythmicAnalyst on X, Oct 10, 2025). From a trading perspective, the post highlights OP_RETURN policy and the BTC v30 timeline as watch points for potential sensitivity in privacy-focused assets, framed as a hypothesis rather than a confirmed driver (source: @RhythmicAnalyst on X, Oct 10, 2025).

According to @caprioleio, Satoshi’s early coins will be market dumped and quantum computing could break Bitcoin within 2-8 years, prompting a call to upgrade Bitcoin now and an invitation to his Token2049 talk at 10:45am on Wed Oct 1, 2025 (source: Charles Edwards X post dated Sep 26, 2025). The post offers no technical evidence for the timeline, but the claim presents headline risk that can affect BTC via narrative-driven volatility and renewed attention to on-chain monitoring of Satoshi-era UTXOs (source: Charles Edwards X post dated Sep 26, 2025). Traders can watch for unusual activity from early addresses, shifts in BTC options implied volatility and skew, and developer signals on post-quantum upgrade discussions as potential catalysts if this narrative gains traction (source: trading analysis based on Charles Edwards X post dated Sep 26, 2025).

According to @ordevents, recent discussions around Bitcoin soft forks highlight their critical role in enabling future protocol upgrades while maintaining backward compatibility (Source: @ordevents via Dan Held, May 27, 2025). For traders, these developments could lead to enhanced network scalability and new features that may impact Bitcoin’s price action and overall crypto market sentiment. Monitoring upcoming soft fork proposals is essential for anticipating potential volatility and opportunities in both spot and derivatives markets.
