Quantum threat pushes Tezos, Algorand to lead crypto in post-quantum readiness; Bitcoin lags behind.

Tezos launched a post-quantum previewnet, boosting its token by 30%, signaling a major step in crypto's quantum resistance. Google's 2026 research accelerated the timeline for quantum threats to Bitcoin, highlighting risks of key exposure during transactions. While altcoins like Tezos, Algorand, and QRL have implemented quantum-resistant features, Bitcoin's proposed BIP-360 is only a partial risk reducer, facing social and technical hurdles. The industry must prepare now for a quantum-safe future, with early movers gaining a competitive edge.

As of Oct 23, 2026 05:21 WIB, Tezos (XTZ) trades at Rp5.417 on Pluang, down 5.40% in the last day despite its recent quantum-resistant network launch. Bitcoin (BTC) is priced at Rp1.465.269.598 with a 3.92% decline over 24 hours, showing more moderate selling pressure with 70% sell orders on Pluang. The market cap of Bitcoin remains dominant at Rp29.578,35T, highlighting its continued leadership in crypto even as quantum security discussions evolve.
