Not long ago, cryptocurrency billionaire Sun Yuchen became embroiled in a legal dispute with World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency company owned by the Trump family, following a major disagreement. This has drawn attention from capital markets worldwide. The Trump family's primary cryptocurrency project is World Liberty Financial, a decentralized financial and banking enterprise that recently received conditional approval from the federal government to operate as a bank. The Trump family's new crypto bank has just secured backing from Abu Dhabi's Sheikh. It is reported that this UAE "spy sheikh" holds a 49% stake in the entity behind the newly established World Liberty Bank.

Recently, the US Department of Justice announced approval to sell 69370 bitcoins, worth approximately $6.5 billion, seized from the dark web marketplace Silk Road. This decision has aroused widespread concern and discussion in the market, especially in the context of the upcoming re appointment of President elect Trump.

In the long run, the rise of Bitcoin is actually facing a risk that has recently become a hot topic in the stock market, but most cryptocurrency investors may not have paid attention to: quantum computing. This emerging technology has attracted attention from all walks of life after Google announced this month that its new Willow quantum computing chip has made a breakthrough. After Willow's release, Google's stock price immediately soared, with a 10% increase within two days. The price of Bitcoin fell in response, dropping by 6% at its lowest point.
