XRP Ledger engineer J. Ayo Akinyele has warned that quantum computing could pose a serious threat to cryptocurrency security as early as 2028, sooner than previously expected. He cited recent advancements in AI, which are accelerating the development of reliable quantum computing hardware. This threat could undermine the cryptographic algorithms that protect blockchain networks and digital wallets. Akinyele urges the crypto industry to proactively prepare for these risks rather than wait until the threat becomes imminent.
