Analysts: Quantum threat to Bitcoin unlikely within 10 years
- —No evidence a crypto-breaking quantum computer will arrive within 10 years
- —Today's quantum machines cannot attack Bitcoin's secp256k1 cryptography
- —Main hurdles are qubit stability and high error rates
- —Post-quantum schemes under review: P2MR, P2TRv2, SHRINCS, SPHINCS, ML-DSA
Why it matters: Eases fears over an imminent quantum threat to BTC while underscoring the need for post-quantum upgrades.
