Crypto Markets React to Mixed Signals: Bitcoin Demand Wanes, TRON Eyes Quantum Resistance Amidst Broader Economic Shifts
Recent news highlights a mixed landscape for the crypto market, influenced by broader economic and technological trends. Bitcoin is facing headwinds as its latest breakout attempt shows signs of faltering due to fading US institutional demand. In contrast, TRON is making future-proof strides, with Justin Sun announcing a 2026 timeline for its transition to a quantum-resistant network, aiming to mitigate potential future risks posed by quantum computing advancements. These developments occur alongside significant global shifts, including accelerating food inflation and a massive surge in AI infrastructure spending by major tech firms, which has now eclipsed investment in oil and natural gas production.
Food inflation accelerated last month, and several data points now suggest the trend may continue well into the year ahead. US food and beverage company inflation surged 7.9% year-over-year in March, the biggest jump in at least 12 months. The Kobeissi Letter noted that March’s increase was driven mostly by higher fuel prices.
Bitcoin price is pushing back toward the $79,510 breakout level it failed at on April 22, but three on-chain signals confirm that US institutional demand is fading even as the chart looks ready to break out. Bitcoin (BTC) trades at $79,098 on the 8-hour chart, up 0.54%, sitting just below the upper boundary of an
Spending by major tech firms on artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure has surpassed investment in oil and natural gas production. The shift comes as these companies drive an unprecedented surge in data centre funding in 2025, according to the International Energy Agency. AI Becomes a Bigger Capital Story Than Oil and Gas Combined capital expenditure of
Justin Sun stated that TRON aims to become the “world’s first quantum-resistant network,” outlining plans to roll out quantum-secure infrastructure by 2026. While quantum computing continues to advance, its real-world threat to cryptographic systems remains largely theoretical for now. Nevertheless, leading blockchain networks are already taking early steps to mitigate potential risks posed by future
