BlockBeats news, on December 16, reported by Decrypt, stated that Grayscale, in its latest released (2026 Digital Asset Outlook) report, indicated that although quantum computing poses long-term security challenges, it is unlikely to significantly impact cryptocurrency market prices in 2026, referring to it as a 'false alarm' for the upcoming year. The asset management company believes that the quantum threat is real, but it is unlikely to affect the cryptocurrency market or valuations in the short term.
The report cites estimates stating that quantum systems capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography may appear as early as 2030. Grayscale analysts pointed out that research and preparations for post-quantum cryptography will continue, but this issue is unlikely to affect valuations in the upcoming year.
