Michael, vice president of research at Fireblocks, said in a report that exposed public keys are the main factor behind Bitcoin’s future quantum risk. Public estimates show that the public keys tied to about 6.7 million to 7 million BTC are already visible on-chain. That leaves those holdings potentially exposed to attacks from quantum computing in the future. The item was cited by Crypto.news and republished by Techub as a market analysis brief. No further details were provided in the digest beyond the estimate range and the reported risk tied to on-chain public key exposure.
