Quantum threat hits crypto again: BTC and ETH slide
- —Google Quantum AI: attacking secp256k1 may need under 1,200 logical qubits and 90M Toffoli gates
- —Global Risk Institute: 28–49% of experts expect a cryptographically relevant quantum computer within 10 years
- —Project Eleven: over 7.7M BTC sit on addresses with exposed public keys
- —BTC and ETH dropped about 1.5%, major altcoins fell 5–10%
Why it matters: The quantum threat triggered a sell-off and is accelerating the shift to post-quantum signatures, reshaping long-term risk assessment for BTC and ETH.
