EU regulators warn quantum computing could weaken crypto security
EU supervisors say blockchain security could be undermined by quantum advances as Bitcoin developers consider a migration plan.
EU supervisors have warned that progress in quantum computing could eventually weaken the cryptography used to secure blockchains, raising concerns for the broader crypto ecosystem, according to Cointelegraph.
Cointelegraph reports that Bitcoin developers are weighing a draft migration plan, while Ethereum has outlined targets extending toward 2029.
The warning highlights a potential long term security risk, as regulators signal that quantum advances may force changes to how networks protect their cryptographic systems.
