Galaxy: Bitcoin’s quantum threat is real, but far from an existential crisis, Galaxy says

Developers are already working to address quantum risks, and investors shouldn’t mistake a long-term challenge for an immediate threat, according to Galaxy Digital’s head of research Alex Thorn. What to know : Galaxy's Alex Thorn said the quantum threat to Bitcoin is real but limited today, affecting only certain exposed wallets and not current network security. Developers are already working on multiple solutions, including quantum-resistant addresses and phased upgrade proposals. Investors should view quantum risk as a long-term technical challenge, not a reason to avoid bitcoin today, Thorn said.
