Nine crypto firms launch Quantum Alliance to set quantum-resistance standards

  • —Alliance is open, with proposals judged on public proofs and working implementations
  • —Four working groups cover chain migration, post-quantum ZK, wallet security and cross-chain compatibility
  • —6.04M BTC sit in exposed-key addresses, including roughly 1M BTC attributed to Satoshi in P2PK
  • —BlackRock, Strategy and Coinbase have committed $15M, but BIP-360 and phased freezing remain inactive
Why it matters: A shared definition of quantum-readiness would separate real defenses from marketing, with some forecasts pointing to March 2028 as the first credible danger window.
