Binance’s quantum-exposed holdings are equivalent to nearly $41.9 billion. 6 million BTC (30% of the issued supply) have their public key visible, according to Glassnode. Binance has 85% of its bitcoin (BTC) coins with the public key already visible on the blockchain, while other exchanges such as Bitfinex and Robinhood reach 100%, according to an … Read more
Ripple and crypto firm Project Eleven are developing a prototype quantum-resistant custody wallet, which is undergoing active testing on validators of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) blockchain. According to an announcement published this May 19 by the Project Eleven team, the work includes the implementation of post-quantum hybrid signaturesperformance testing on Devnet and a designed escrow … Read more
The new system guarantees proven security, not based on unproven mathematical assumptions An experimental instruction would reduce that cost to $3.05 and could become a standard. A group of researchers presented this Tuesday, May 19 at Ethereum Research a new post-quantum cryptographic verifier for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The development replaces a previous scheme … Read more
Reticle signatures weigh between 1,600 and 4,000 bytes, compared to 70/72 bytes for ECDSA. Blockstream relegated signatures based on hash functions because they would be incompatible with multisignatures. Blockstream, the company co-founded by Adam Back, published this May 18 a comparative analysis of the four post-quantum signature paradigms applicable to Bitcoin and concluded that lattice-based … Read more
Thiel also considered that “we need to implement procedural changes to be ready.” MARA Holdings launched the MARA Foundation to fund the maintenance of the Bitcoin code. Fred Thiel, CEO of the company Mara Holdings (MARA), stated that the risk of quantum computing for Bitcoin is “minimal” in terms of the network’s transaction history, and … Read more
Quantum computing is ceasing to be a theoretical problem and becoming an issue of technological and financial planning. This was stated by Citigroup in a report published on January 15, 2026, where it warns that the margin of preparation for the so-called Q-day could be reducing. The report, titled “Quantum threat: The trillion-dollar race for … Read more

For Drake, the cryptocurrency ecosystem would be the first target of a successful quantum attack. The Ethereum Foundation set 2029 as a target to complete its post-quantum migration. Justin Drake, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, raised his estimate of the probability that a quantum computer will be able to compromise current cryptography by 2032 … Read more
Transactions grew from 110 to 2,500 bytes and blocks from 110 KB to 2 MB with the new schemes. For the BNB Chain team, the quantum threat is between 10 and 20 years away. BNB Chain published a report on May 14 in which it evaluated the viability of migrating the network to post-quantum cryptography … Read more
Quantum-vaults transfer funds in a single operation and mark the address used as exposed. The second tool is libqc, a kit that upgrades Ethereum accounts to post-quantum. Two tools to build post-quantum wallets compatible with Bitcoin and Ethereum were published on GitHub by the company Project Eleven this May 12. It is about libqca TypeScript … Read more
