Key Takeaways
- Quantus warned $2T in crypto faces quantum risks as bitcoin and ethereum lag in migration.
- Bitcoin quantum-safe signatures could grow 70x, straining block space and throughput.
- NIST finalized post-quantum standards in 2024 as Quantus targets a 2030 threat window.
Google and IBM Advances Push Bitcoin Quantum Threat Closer
Quantum computing is no longer a distant risk for crypto, according to a new report from Quantus. It is becoming a planning problem for an industry that still has no clear migration path.
The report, The State of Quantum: What Crypto Can’t Afford to Ignore, argues that advances in quantum hardware and cryptanalytic research have compressed the timeline for a possible attack on public-key cryptography….
