Almost 10% of Bitcoin’s total supply could be at risk in the event of a real breakthrough in quantum computing. This is the conclusion reached by Glassnode analysts, who assessed which types of $BTC addresses already expose public keys and could theoretically become vulnerable if modern cryptography were broken.

Around 10% of Bitcoin’s total supply is at risk due to the development of quantum computers, according to analytics platform Glassnode, which pointed to the need for implementing a quantum-resistant solution such as BIP-360.

Developers behind $BNB Chain have released the results of testing the network’s transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). The experiment confirmed the blockchain’s theoretical readiness for future quantum threats, but also revealed a significant decline in performance.
