  • Freezing Dormant Bitcoin Could Trigger Historic Market Shock, Say Experts
    April 26, 2026, 11:48 AM EDT. Freezing dormant bitcoin wallets, valued at around $440 billion, could cause the worst single-day repricing in bitcoin's history, experts warn. This move, proposed to protect against future quantum computing theft, would challenge bitcoin's core principle of censorship resistance. Industry voices, including developers behind Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 361, suggest freezing vulnerable coins that haven't upgraded cryptographic signatures. Market analysts argue such a precedent could shatter institutional confidence, forcing fund managers to unwind positions to meet risk mandates. Some see a quantum attack as an even more severe threat, potentially undermining bitcoin's foundational security assumptions. The debate underscores the tension between preserving security and maintaining bitcoin's value proposition amid emerging technological risks.
