Fidelity Digital Assets said a quantum-resistant upgrade for Bitcoin is technically achievable, but the bigger obstacle would be community agreement rather than engineering alone. The firm said protecting the network against future attacks from quantum computers would require changes to Bitcoin’s underlying code. Those changes, in turn, would need broad backing from the Bitcoin community, a threshold the firm described as difficult to reach. The view was cited by Techub News and attributed to Crypto Briefing. The remarks frame the issue as a governance and coordination challenge tied to any future protocol change, even if the underlying technical path exists.
