Nvidia (NVDA) Announces NVQLink for Quantum Computing: 3 Trading Takeaways for NVDA and Crypto Security Risks (BTC, ETH)
According to @StockMKTNewz, Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang announced Nvidia NVQLink designed specifically for quantum computing, signaling a new interconnect initiative focused on quantum systems (source: @StockMKTNewz on X, Oct 28, 2025). The cited post provides no specifications, timelines, or pricing, so trading decisions should wait for an official Nvidia release or event materials to quantify potential impact on data center or accelerated-computing roadmaps (source: @StockMKTNewz). Quantum-computing advances are closely watched by crypto markets because sufficiently large quantum machines could break widely used public-key schemes like RSA and ECC, accelerating migration to post-quantum cryptography (source: NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography program). Bitcoin and Ethereum currently rely on ECDSA-based signatures, making quantum security a relevant long-term narrative for BTC and ETH risk assessment when quantum headlines emerge (source: Bitcoin.org Developer Guide; Ethereum technical documentation/Yellow Paper). |

Cold Wallet vs Hot Wallet: 6 Proven Ways Traders Can Secure Crypto and Optimize Execution
According to @kwok_phil, traders should understand the security trade-offs between hot (online) and cold (offline) wallets to protect funds and match custody to execution speed needs, source: X post by @kwok_phil dated Oct 19, 2025. Hot wallets are connected to the internet and are convenient for frequent transactions but carry higher phishing and malware exposure, while cold wallets keep private keys offline and reduce remote attack surface, making them better for long-term holdings, source: Binance Academy, Hot vs Cold Wallets; Ledger Support, What is a hardware wallet; Trezor Learn, Cold storage overview. A trading-focused setup is to keep only working capital in hot wallets for rapid fills and maintain core positions in cold custody to limit counterparty and operational risk during volatility, source: Fidelity Digital Assets, Understanding Digital Asset Custody; Binance Academy, How to Store Your Crypto Safely. Strengthen controls by using hardware wallets with an additional passphrase, multisig for larger balances, FIDO2 security keys for 2FA on exchange accounts, withdrawal address whitelisting, and periodic revocation of token approvals to reduce contract risk, source: Ledger Support, Passphrase feature; Safe (formerly Gnosis Safe), Multisig best practices; NIST SP 800-63B, Digital Identity Guidelines; Kraken Support, Withdrawal Whitelist; Etherscan, Token Approval Checker. The risk context reinforces this approach: crypto hacks fell from roughly $3.7B in 2022 to about $1.7B in 2023, yet hot wallets and bridges remain frequent targets, underscoring the value of offline custody for reserves, source: Chainalysis, 2024 Crypto Crime Report. |
