It might seem like quantum computing is still years away, but the risk is real, and the time to build resilience is now. In his interview with the Daily Crypto News podcast, our CEO David Joao Vieira Carvalho David Carvalho explains why the crypto industry can't afford to delay building defenses against the looming quantum threat. Just like we were caught off guard by how fast AI evolved, the same could happen with quantum computing. And unlike AI, once quantum breaks cryptography, it’s going to be too late to react. Even the NSA/CSS is actively preparing today. And their goal is not to be ready for 2040, but for 2028–2030. That should tell us something. History shows that legislation always lags behind innovation. But in crypto, resilience must be proactive, because the whole $3.4 trillion ecosystem could be at risk. 🎧 Thanks to Daily Crypto News for the great conversation! Catch the full episode and dive into what the future of post-quantum security really looks like:

🚨 JUST NOW: President Trump signs TWO executive orders securing the United States' spot as the WORLD LEADER in Quantum Computing ORDER 1: Launches a national effort to produce a quantum computer capable of performing important scientific calculations. It also aims to develop quantum-enabled sensors and networks within the next 5 years. ORDER 2: Directs federal agencies to transition their computer systems to quantum cryptography (post-quantum cryptography standards) by 2031. It positions the U.S. government to lead wider adoption of these stronger security standards to address future quantum computing threats

QUANTUM FEARS ARE FUD -- BITCOIN ISN’T EVEN CLOSE TO AT RISK Bitcoiners like Samson Mow are calling it out: today’s “quantum computers” can’t even solve basic problems without being fed hints -- they’re nowhere near cracking cryptography. The real timeline? 10–20 years, if ever. And here’s the part people miss -- if quantum ever becomes real, $BTC can upgrade fast, while the traditional financial system (banks, legacy security, government infra) is far more exposed. This isn’t a threat. It’s narrative-driven fear while the system quietly shifts on-chain.

America is going (Q)uantum President Trump signs two quantum Executive Orders: 1. Protecting U.S. quantum research from foreign threats: Strengthens counterintelligence efforts (FBI and intelligence community) against espionage (e.g., by China). It also directs the Departments of Defense and Energy to build and host a quantum computer for scientific discovery and tasks Commerce with plans to expand federal investments in quantum companies. 2. Accelerating post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration: Bolsters federal efforts to transition to quantum-resistant encryption standards to mitigate risks from future “Q-day” when powerful quantum computers could break current public-key cryptography.

🔥CHARLES HOSKINSON ON BITCOIN’S QUANTUM CRISIS: "TO DO NOTHING WOULD RESULT IN OVER 8 MILLION $BTC BEING STOLEN.” Hoskinson says Bitcoin cannot ignore the quantum threat forever. He suggested the network to either add optional post-quantum signatures, or freeze legacy accounts that fail to migrate. His bigger argument, however, was that Bitcoin lacks a clear governance layer to make that choice. During the Consensus Miami event, he warns of over 50% chance quantum computers could threaten crypto security by 2033.

CZ Suggests Freezing Satoshi's Bitcoin to Address Quantum Threats Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ)CZ 🔶 BNB said in a June 18 interview with Galaxy that if Bitcoin forks in the future to adopt quantum-resistant cryptography, the community could give Satoshi-linked addresses holding about 1 million BTC a 6- to 12-month migration window. If the coins still do not move, the new protocol should freeze those addresses. CZ said that otherwise, the coins could eventually be claimed by the first person to crack the private keys with quantum computing. He acknowledged there is no perfect solution and said the final decision should be made by the community, potentially through miner signaling.

Today is World Quantum Day! A great reminder that quantum's impact on cryptography isn't theoretical, it's only a matter of time. To mark the occasion, CEO StaciW_DC sat down with world-renowned post-quantum cryptographer and Algorand CSO Chris Peikert to discuss the quantum threat to blockchain. Since 2022, Algorand has been leading in blockchain quantum resilience by securing its entire chain history with Falcon-signed State Proofs. In 2025, we took it further: the first quantum-resistant transaction protecting real digital assets was executed on mainnet. With Google now targeting 2029 for its own post-quantum migration, the urgency is clear. Algorand isn't waiting, we're already building for that future. Watch now! 👇

Quantum computing is coming. Google’s recent breakthrough in quantum computing serves as a great reminder that, while we don’t know exactly when, quantum computing is on its way—and it’s closer than we might have thought. The implications for the current blockchain space could be far more severe than we can imagine. Why? Because when quantum computers become operational, security methods that currently take hundreds of years to hack could be broken in minutes. Like the turkey oblivious to the 1001st day, failing to anticipate the risks posed by quantum computing could leave us vulnerable to devastating consequences when the time comes. At StarkWare, we’ve anticipated this risk and developed STARK, a proving technology for blockchains that is quantum-resistant. This cutting-edge innovation currently powers Starknet (BTCFi arc). If you want to stay ahead of the curve and future-proof your systems, now is the best time to migrate your stack to a STARK-powered one. As the inventors of this technology, we believe our team is uniquely positioned to assist you with this migration. Moreover, we are more than open to collaborating with the Ethereum Foundation and other relevant parties to build Ethereum’s quantum resistance as soon as the community is ready.

If you invest in quantum, you invest in the US national security. $INFQ CEO Matt Kinsella says the GPS will be the first thing to go in case of a full scale conflict. The company’s sensors can replace GPS with precise timing. $INFQ sells to NASA and the US Department of War. It looks like $INFQ could be selected for quantum sensors as explained in the Executive Order 14413 on Quantum Innovation last week.

🚨 QUANTUM COMPUTING: THE NEXT TECH GOLD RUSH Quantum computing (QC) is about to blow up the tech world. Think of it as AI on steroids—but here’s the kicker: the entire U.S. quantum sector is worth less than Dogecoin. Imagine buying Bitcoin at $500. That’s where QC is today. Regular computers process in 1s and 0s. QCs use qubits, which can be 1, 0, or both at the same time (superposition). Translation? They solve ridiculously complex problems insanely fast. Google recently ran a calculation on its quantum chip in 5 minutes that would take the world’s fastest supercomputer 10 septillion years to complete. Yes, that’s older than the universe. Why it matters: QC isn’t just a cool science project—it’s a game-changer: Medicine: Design drugs in weeks, not years. Finance: Smarter investments, faster decisions. AI: Supercharges AI, making today’s breakthroughs look tiny. McKinsey predicts QC will add trillions to the economy in the next decade. Entire industries will be rewritten. We are closer than most people think. Quantum startups are already hitting 10 qubits, aiming for 100 in 2 years and thousands in 5 years. QC is already solving real problems in medicine, defense, and finance, and platforms like AWS and Google let you rent quantum power right now. Here’s the wild part: the entire U.S. quantum sector is trading for less than a meme coin. Meanwhile, China is outspending the U.S. 5 to 1 in quantum development. Legislation like the Quantum Leadership Act is injecting billions into R&D, but QC’s “ChatGPT moment”—where its potential becomes undeniable—is just 2-3 years away. The upside here is massive. QC isn’t just going to change industries—it’s going to flip them on their heads. When its moment comes, the repricing will be fast and brutal. The clock is ticking. Source: Charles Edwards

🚨 THE U.S. GOVERNMENT JUST DID SOMETHING ABSOLUTELY INSANE Trump recently ordered America’s most important systems to begin abandoning cryptography that could be broken by quantum computers. Bitcoin relies on the same vulnerable class of cryptography. Now Bitcoin developers are discussing BIP 361. A proposal that could eventually restrict old wallets that fail to migrate to quantum-resistant addresses. That means lost coins, ancient whale wallets and potentially even Satoshi’s Bitcoin could become impossible to spend. Bitcoin may soon face its most controversial decision ever: Freeze billions of dollars in BTC… Or leave the network exposed to the largest theft in financial history. The government’s order never mentioned Bitcoin. But it may have officially started the clock.
