[Galaxy: Bitcoin Has Begun Addressing the Quantum Threat] According to a report by Jinse Finance, a new report from Galaxy Research indicates that Bitcoin may already be adapting to the long-term threat posed by quantum computing. The report finds that only cryptocurrencies with exposed public keys are at risk of future quantum attacks. This includes older 'legacy' wallets, reused addresses, and certain custodial practices—which, broadly defined, could account for millions of bitcoins. However, Bitcoin's architecture provides built-in protective mechanisms. Galaxy Research stated in the report: 'Bitcoin's design is somewhat resistant to quantum attacks because public keys are only exposed when bitcoins are spent.' The company refuted claims that developers are ignoring this issue, pointing out that 'work on quantum resistance has been quite substantial and is accelerating across the ecosystem.' The report noted: 'Proposals like BIP 360 demonstrate that the foundational security technologies for the post-quantum era are actively being developed.'
