European financial regulators warn that advancing quantum computing could threaten blockchain cryptography protecting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other systems. Though no current quantum computer can break these encryptions, Google's new research lowers the estimated quantum power needed to do so, raising urgency. Bitcoin developers propose phased upgrades to eliminate vulnerable signature schemes, while Ethereum aims for full quantum resistance by December 2029. These efforts focus on proactive preparation to secure cryptocurrency networks before powerful quantum machines emerge.
