6.98m BTC sits in quantum-vulnerable addresses. $480b exposed. BIP-360 proposes freezing all of them, including satoshi's 1m BTC. bitcoin's first-ever intervention in the money supply. jefferies already dumped their entire 10% BTC allocation over this. blackrock amended their ETF prospectus to flag the risk. taproot adoption cratered from 42% to 20% because users think newer formats are more exposed. the network will have to choose between immutability and survival. that's not a technical upgrade debate. th ...

WATCH: Is Google's Quantum Breakthrough a Threat to Bitcoin? | Bitcoin Policy Hour Ep 33 🇺🇸A new Google whitepaper has accelerated the timeline for Q-Day, potentially putting Bitcoin wallet security at risk to quantum computing as early as 2029. The @bitcoinpolicy team breaks down the quantum threat, geopolitical strategy, and why "not your keys, not your coins" has never been more real.Feat. @bitconpolicy 's @zackcohen_ @zackbshapiro @Bayman11771 @samlyman33 @LukasDanielianChapters:4:45 — Google's Quantum ...

Quantum Computing isn't a short-term threat.According to $BTQ, provide clarity about the biggest threat for #Bitcoin: Quantum Computing.This doesn't lie in the mining, it lies in the signatures.One of the core conclusions is that Grover-based #BItcoin mining requires a lot of qubits and therefore, is theoretically interesting, but physically and economically impractical.They state that the authentication layer is the biggest hurdle to take and $BTQ provides a solution for this through NIST-Standardized ML-D ...

I titled this the simplexity of the quantum world. Uh and I give you a flavor of this in this 10 minutes. So to begin with, you know, this year is very special and that's why it's so relevant.2025 has been declared as the international year of quantum science and technology to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the development of quantum mechanics. So uh a legitimate question to ask is why has it taken us 100 years to start talking seriously about quantum technology. That's a very long time.So I hope you wo ...

google just lowered the threshold for breaking bitcoin's encryption from millions of qubits to under 500,000. $450b in BTC sitting in quantum-vulnerable addresses. timeline moved from 2040 to 2029-2032. starknet deployed post-quantum wallets on mainnet march 19 at a $193m market cap. ZK-STARKs are quantum-resistant at the proof layer by design. STRK20 privacy layer launches april 30 with built-in compliance for institutions. algorand surged 50% on the google paper and sits at $1.11b. both are rounding error ...

🚨JUST IN: CIRCLE ROLLS OUT FULL-STACK QUANTUM DEFENCE PLAN FOR ARC BLOCKCHAINCircle has announced a comprehensive quantum-resistance strategy for its Arc L1 blockchain, targeting wallets, validators, private state, and core infrastructure.According to several reports, quantum computing advances threaten the cryptographic foundations underpinning blockchain security.Circle's phased approach is designed to future-proof the network without forcing abrupt changes on users.The firm explicitly warned that public- ...

Circle announced the quantum-resistant roadmap for its L1 blockchain Arc, adopting a phased approach to full-stack quantum resistance across wallets, private state, validators, and infrastructure. The mainnet will introduce post-quantum signatures with an opt-in model. Circle added that quantum computing could threaten public-key cryptography by 2030 or earlier and warned of “harvest now, decrypt later” risks. ...

🚨TECH: WILL SOLANA TRADE SPEED FOR SECURITY?@Solana has already moved fast in testing quantum-resistant signatures, after recent studies created fear in the crypto ecosystem that a quantum-threat may be closer than we thought.However, according to CoinDesk/WuBlockchain, early results show a "serious trade-off between security and speed".This is due to the raw size of quantum-resistant signatures. ...

Google just issued a warning about how quantum computers could start breaking through the complex encryption protecting cryptocurrencies much easier and sooner than previously expected. In other words, quantum hacker safe crackers might be coming for that crypto stash. Quantum computers are a technology that promises to perform certain types of calculations much faster than classical computers by harnessing some of the strange properties that arise at the atomic and subatomic scale.The most widely used encr ...
