The U.S. Treasury Department has launched a Quantum Readiness Working Group, according to an announcement posted on the department’s official website. The group is structured as a public-private collaboration and is intended to help the U.S. financial sector move toward quantum-resistant technologies in an orderly way while preserving operational resilience.
The Treasury said the effort will align with the Group of Seven (G7) Cyber Expert Group’s roadmap for post-quantum cryptography migration. Its work will be organized around three tracks: industry coordination and post-quantum cryptography migration, third-party and vendor readiness, and risks tied to digital assets and emerging technologies.
Participants will include government bodies, financial institutions, financial market infrastructures, technology vendors, and other private-sector stakeholders. The stated priorities include identifying critical dependencies, improving cryptographic agility and interoperability, strengthening protections for critical financial infrastructure, and addressing implementation challenges related to third-party dependencies and digital assets.

The group is set up as a public-private mechanism to help the U.S. financial sector transition to quantum-resistant technologies in an orderly manner while maintaining operational resilience. The initiative will also align with the Group of Seven (G7) Cyber Expert Group’s roadmap for migration to post-quantum cryptography.
Three workstreams set the scope
The Treasury said the working group will operate across three lines of work: "industry coordination and post-quantum cryptography migration," "third-party and vendor readiness," and "digital asset and emerging technology risks."
Government, financial firms and vendors will take part
The group will bring together government agencies, financial institutions, financial market infrastructures, technology providers, and other private-sector participants. Its stated focus includes identifying critical dependencies, improving cryptographic agility and interoperability, strengthening protection for critical financial infrastructure, and addressing implementation challenges linked to third-party dependencies and digital assets.
