36 stories about Quantum from across the crypto press, curated and summarized daily. Most recent: Sep 6, 2026.
The G7 is urging organizations to adopt post-quantum security measures to protect against the future threat of quantum computing. This warning comes as the crypto industry explores potential fixes to safeguard digital assets.
Sui blockchain will let users upgrade to quantum-safe keys without changing their wallet addresses or recovery phrases. This move protects against future quantum computing threats to crypto security.
Researchers have proposed a cryptographic method to safeguard Bitcoin and other blockchain wallets against future quantum attacks. This approach ensures compatibility with existing addresses, preventing the need for a hard fork.
Nine major Bitcoin firms, including BlackRock, Coinbase, and Strategy, launched the Bitcoin Security Consortium with a $15 million pledge to support Bitcoin security research and long-term resilience, including quantum readiness.
Nine of the biggest institutional names in Bitcoin formed a consortium to fund the developers working to keep the network secure—including from future quantum computers.
A consortium including BlackRock, Coinbase, and Strategy has pledged $15 million to prepare Bitcoin for potential quantum computing threats. The group will fund research and development independently, without influencing Bitcoin's governance or protocol decisions.
Galaxy Digital is committing up to $5 million to prepare Bitcoin for potential quantum computing threats. Researchers, exchanges, and the U.S. government warn that a quantum attack, dubbed 'Q-Day,' could land as soon as 2030.
Project Eleven has developed a tool to recover Bitcoin wallets threatened by quantum computers. However, it won't work for Satoshi's 1.1 million coins. The tool runs in just 243 milliseconds on a standard laptop.
Project Eleven has proposed a method to help Bitcoin users recover their wallets after a quantum computer breaks the network's cryptographic protections. The plan involves a post-quantum cryptographic proof to verify ownership of wallets.
BitGo launched new quantum-risk tools that help institutional Bitcoin holders identify and reduce potential future quantum-computing exposure in their custody wallets.
Ethereum is undergoing its most significant upgrade since the Merge, with plans to rebuild nearly every core piece of the protocol over the next 3-4 years. Quantum safety and privacy are now top priorities, according to Vitalik Buterin.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao proposed freezing Satoshi Nakamoto's 1.1 million bitcoin to guard against potential quantum computer theft, but experts are divided on feasibility and necessity.
Moody’s says President Trump’s new quantum computing executive orders highlight an urgent need for Bitcoin and the broader digital asset industry to adopt quantum-resistant cryptography.
StarkWare's CEO Eli Ben-Sasson criticized the crypto industry for ignoring quantum computing threats and announced a roadmap for Starknet to address these risks. The company aims to make the blockchain more resilient against future quantum attacks.
The Trump administration is allocating significant resources to quantum security, which could help protect Bitcoin from future quantum computing threats. Millions of bitcoins with exposed public addresses are potentially at risk from quantum attacks.
President Donald Trump signed two executive orders aimed at expanding U.S. quantum computing capabilities and speeding the transition to quantum-resistant encryption, which could impact Bitcoin's long-term security.
Algorand is working on upgrades to protect its blockchain from potential threats posed by quantum computing. The company plans to have these security measures in place by the end of 2027. This is a proactive step to safeguard user data and transactions against future technological advancements.
Algorand has announced a roadmap to achieve quantum resistance by 2028, a critical step to protect against future quantum computing threats. This involves updating both user wallets and the core protocol infrastructure, a process that could take years.
The SPHINCS- proposal aims to reduce the cost of post-quantum signature verification on Ethereum while the network works toward a longer-term solution.
A Coinbase report warns that millions of Bitcoin are vulnerable to quantum attacks due to address reuse, including exchange cold wallets. The report suggests freezing exposed coins and setting migration deadlines to mitigate the risk.
A Coinbase-convened panel of top cryptographers agrees Bitcoin should start preparing for quantum attacks now, but declines to take a position on whether millions of vulnerable coins, including many linked to Satoshi Nakamoto, should eventually be frozen.
A new analysis from ChainQuery reveals that 25.3% of all Bitcoin is stored at addresses where the public key has been exposed, making those funds potentially vulnerable to future quantum computing attacks. The risk is not immediate but highlights a significant security consideration for long-term holders.
Coinbase's quantum advisory council urges immediate action to protect Bitcoin from future quantum computing threats. Developers must start migrating to post-quantum cryptography now to avoid potential vulnerabilities. The biggest challenge will be addressing abandoned and vulnerable coins.
Citi analysts warn that Bitcoin's security could be at greater risk from quantum computing than Ethereum's. The concern stems from Bitcoin's reliance on elliptic curve cryptography, which may be more vulnerable to quantum attacks.
