Europol said in a new report that quantum computing is not expected to break the Bitcoin network itself, though it could create security risks for some wallets. The report draws a distinction between the resilience of the network and the exposure of certain wallet setups, framing wallet protection as a more immediate area of concern.
According to the report, the threat that quantum computing could pose to cryptocurrencies highlights the need for proactive wallet security. Europol said the burden of protection is shifting toward individual users, rather than resting only with broader network design.
The report also urged users to take steps to strengthen wallet security in preparation for possible future quantum-computing attacks. The item was cited by Techub News, with Crypto Briefing named as the source in the brief.
