Experts clash over AI-driven risk of breaking blockchain cryptography

  • —Drake warned ECDSA could be broken before the quantum era, possibly within months
  • —Green said public-key-based cryptocurrency could be lost
  • —Coinbase said there are no credible breakthroughs against ECDSA
  • —Experts noted moving coins to new addresses may fail if xpub was already shared
Why it matters: The debate shapes how durable blockchain cryptography is and whether the industry needs to migrate to post-quantum schemes.
