Gray Scale expects a minimal impact of quantum computing on the cryptocurrency market in 2026

According to ODaily, the latest Gray Scale report, titled "Prospects for Digital Assets 2026", suggests that while quantum computing poses long-term security challenges, it is unlikely to significantly impact cryptocurrency market prices in 2026. The asset management company describes the quantum threat as a "false alarm" for the coming year, acknowledging its reality but considering its impact on market valuations in the short term to be improbable. The report references estimates indicating that quantum systems capable of breaking Bitcoin encryption may emerge by 2030. Gray Scale analysts confirm that research and preparations for post-quantum encryption will continue, but they do not expect this issue to affect valuations over the next year.
