Morgan Stanley's recent entry into the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF market is seen by some observers as a potential catalyst to end the current crypto bear market, due to the firm's extensive $8 trillion wealth advisor network. According to ChainCatcher, Blockstream CEO and early Bitcoin community contributor Adam Back expressed skepticism about the immediate impact of this development. Back, who was recently speculated by The New York Times to be Bitcoin's anonymous founder Satoshi Nakamoto—a claim he denies—emphasized that while the Bitcoin ETF represents a significant market signal, its influence may unfold more slowly than anticipated. He noted that institutional adoption tends to be gradual, and although ETFs have been purchased, fund managers have yet to allocate the suggested 2% to 4% in general stock portfolios, as advised by BlackRock. Back explained that the process of building positions might take a year or even 18 months, as investors are unlikely to rush in overnight. He also highlighted the importance of considering Bitcoin's four-year halving cycle, which could still lead to price declines despite some commentators suggesting the cycle is breaking. The expectation of the cycle's occurrence often leads to selling, reinforcing its impact. Regarding recent discussions on the potential threat of quantum computing advancements to Bitcoin cryptography, Back noted that institutions are more systematic in risk management, focusing on tail risks, while retail investors view it as a distant future concern.

A QNT reserve pool has been attacked, resulting in the loss of 1,988.5 QNT tokens, according to Odaily. The attack stemmed from a design flaw in the EIP-7702 account, where the pool's administrator identity was held by an address that delegated its code to the BatchExecutor contract. The BatchExecutor authorized the BatchCall contract as a caller without permission control, and the BatchCall.batch function lacked permission checks. This allowed the attacker to exploit the vulnerability and extract tokens from the pool.

According to SlowMist monitoring, a QNT reserve pool suffered an attack due to a design flaw in the EIP-7702 account, resulting in the loss of 1988.5 QNT, worth approximately 54.93 ETH. The root cause of the attack lies in the fact that the administrator of the reserve pool was held by an address that delegated its code to the BatchExecutor contract through EIP-7702. Because BatchExecutor authorized the BatchCall contract, which lacked permission control, as the caller, and the BatchCall.batch function lacked permission checks, the attacker exploited an arbitrary call vulnerability to extract tokens from the pool.
