Bitcoin surges past $85K as Kevin O'Leary predicts $1M BTC if quantum risks are solved.

Bitcoin and major cryptocurrencies rallied strongly, with Bitcoin reaching around $85,700 and many altcoins up 10% or more. Investor Kevin O'Leary forecasted Bitcoin could hit $1 million if the crypto industry addresses the potential future threat of quantum computers compromising wallet security. Ethereum's outlook was downgraded by O'Leary, who doubts its speed and security, suggesting tokenization will favor whichever blockchain major exchanges adopt. Market activity shows growing interest in tokenized stocks and crypto ETFs, signaling broader institutional adoption despite ongoing regulatory and technological challenges.

Bitcoin is trading at Rp1.536.507.681 on Pluang, up 7.67% in the past day, showing strong investor interest despite ongoing market uncertainties. Ethereum also gained 6.99%, priced at Rp48.922.854, while Venice Token surged 11.49% to Rp569.367. These figures reflect active trading and diverse asset performance as of Sep 21, 2026 21:53 WIB.
