[Grayscale Report: Quantum Computing Unlikely to Impact Cryptocurrency Prices in 2026] According to Decrypt, Grayscale stated in its '2026 Digital Asset Outlook' report that concerns about quantum computers potentially compromising Bitcoin's security are unlikely to affect the cryptocurrency market in 2026. The report refutes the risks posed by this technology in the short term. Grayscale analysts wrote: 'We believe that research and preparations for post-quantum cryptography will continue to advance, but this issue is unlikely to impact asset valuations next year.' Although the report notes that research into post-quantum cryptography will persist and may accelerate, quantum computers capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography are unlikely to emerge before 2030 at the earliest. Based on this timeline, Grayscale stated that quantum risks are unlikely to affect cryptocurrency prices in 2026. Grayscale's report echoes the views of many blockchain developers, indicating that the timeline mentioned in the quantum benchmarking work by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) suggests that quantum computers with cryptographic capabilities remain a distant prospect rather than an imminent threat.
