Nearly 77 billion XRP at risk from future quantum computing attacks, especially dormant wallets.

New research reveals that about 76.82 billion XRP across 5.6 million accounts are vulnerable to quantum computing attacks, with dormant wallets inactive for over five years facing the highest risk. Quantum computers could potentially reconstruct private keys from public keys revealed in past transactions, threatening user funds. The XRP Ledger supports key rotation and multi-signature wallets as defenses, but widespread migration to quantum-safe security remains a challenge. Experts warn powerful quantum machines could arrive within 3-5 years, urging the crypto industry to act swiftly to protect assets.
