PANews reported on March 31 that, according to Bloomberg, stablecoin issuer Tether Holdings has dismissed two senior precious metals traders, Vincent Domien and Mathew O’Neill, whom it had poached from HSBC several months ago. The two were previously hired to help build the “world’s best gold trading desk” and assist Tether in accumulating gold reserves valued at tens of billions of dollars. The report says both have left the company as part of Tether’s restructuring of its gold trading team. Previously, Tether had been expanding its gold holdings and related trading business through this team.

This positive financial progress provides a strong foundation for the company to achieve the expected robust growth in 2026. To further inform the investment community, the company's management will hold an investor conference call today at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time to provide an in-depth analysis of the financial data and future development plans.

PANews reported on March 31 that OneKey founder Yishi pointed out on Twitter that the so-called "Google 2029 deadline" is merely an internal migration target and has no direct relation to when Bitcoin might be cracked by quantum computing. Linking the two is misleading. Yishi stated that claims such as "6.26 million BTC are at risk" are inaccurate, as only early P2PK addresses have long-exposed public keys; standard addresses, if not reused, do not expose public keys, so counting all addresses as being at risk is an exaggeration. In addition, he emphasized that Bitcoin uses signatures rather than encryption, so there is no "store now, break later" attack vector. Currently, quantum devices have only a few thousand noisy qubits, while breaking ECDSA would require millions of stable qubits. He said that the quantum threat is real but not imminent, and the Bitcoin community is already advancing post-quantum cryptographic solutions, so there is no need for panic or sensationalism.
