Grayscale: Quantum Computing Highly Unlikely to Impact Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Prices by 2026

BlockBeats News, December 16th, according to Decrypt, Grayscale stated in its latest "2026 Digital Asset Outlook" report that although quantum computing poses a long-term security challenge, its impact on the cryptocurrency market price in 2026 is minimal, calling it a "false alarm" for the next year. The asset management company believes that the quantum threat is a real concern but is unlikely to affect the cryptocurrency market or valuation in the short term.

The report cites estimates suggesting that a quantum system capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography could potentially emerge as early as before 2030. Grayscale analysts point out that research and preparation for post-quantum cryptography will continue, but this issue is unlikely to affect valuation in the next year.
