Peter Sarlin’s QuTwo, a Finnish AI lab, has achieved a remarkable QuTwo valuation of €325 million ($380 million) after a €25 million angel round. This news highlights the enduring momentum for European AI and quantum computing. Sarlin, the former CEO of AMD’s Silo AI, leads this venture. The company focuses on enterprise AI solutions, not […]
Blockchain protocols preparing for the quantum computing threat must also consider how to quickly verify ownership if funds are stolen, according to the development team behind the NEAR Protocol. While most of the industry conversation has focused on preventing quantum attacks on private keys, a deeper problem may emerge once those keys are compromised: proving […]
Bitcoin faces a defined timeline to strengthen its defenses against a future quantum computing threat. According to a new report from brokerage and research firm Bernstein, the cryptocurrency community has roughly three to five years to implement necessary security upgrades. The analysis, published in early April 2026, argues the risk is concentrated and manageable, not […]
A new report from a major cryptocurrency exchange has sounded a cautious alarm about a future technological threat. According to Coinbase’s Independent Advisory Board on Quantum Computing and Blockchain, quantum computers could one day crack the cryptographic foundations of digital assets. The board’s analysis, released in a detailed paper, suggests the timeline for this threat […]
The race to secure digital assets against future quantum computers is exposing a fundamental philosophical split in the cryptocurrency world. While both Bitcoin and Ethereum face the same theoretical threat, their strategies for defense are moving in opposite directions. This divergence reveals more about each network’s core identity than about the mathematics of cryptography. The […]
PARIS, April 16, 2026 – The Bitcoin community should start building defenses against quantum computers immediately, even though the technology remains largely theoretical. That’s the urgent message from Blockstream CEO and early crypto pioneer Adam Back, who argues preparation is the only safe path forward. Adam Back’s Quantum Warning for Bitcoin Speaking at Paris Blockchain […]
A controversial new proposal to protect Bitcoin from future quantum computer attacks is dividing the cryptocurrency community. Draft Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 361, authored by cypherpunk Jameson Lopp and five collaborators, suggests a mechanism to effectively freeze roughly 1.7 million BTC held in early, vulnerable addresses. This staggering sum includes the legendary stash belonging to […]
A new technical proposal claims Bitcoin can be shielded from future quantum computer attacks without altering its core protocol. But this potential security comes with a steep price tag, estimated between $75 and $150 per transaction, raising questions about its practical use for most users. Quantum Safe Bitcoin: A Stopgap, Not a Panacea Avihu Levy, […]
The biggest hurdle to protecting Bitcoin from future quantum computers may not be writing new code. According to a new analysis from Grayscale, the real test will be getting the famously fractious Bitcoin community to agree on what to do. This social challenge centers on how to handle an estimated 1.7 million BTC, potentially worth […]
Stablecoin giant Circle has laid out a detailed plan to shield its new blockchain from a future threat that could shatter today’s digital security. The company announced a post-quantum security roadmap for its layer-1 network, Arc, on April 3, 2026. This move comes as recent warnings from Google and academic researchers suggest the arrival of […]
