Europol says crypto developers, wallet providers and users should begin preparing for quantum threats because moving millions of wallets and nodes to resistant cryptography could take years, even though capable quantum computers do not yet exist.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says AI-driven advances in mathematics could plausibly threaten lattice-based cryptography within two years. He urges caution and broader preparation, but does not recommend rushing to move funds or treating the timeframe as a deadline.
Project Eleven and Quantus plan institutional custody support for Quantus in the first quarter of 2027, highlighting the challenge banks face in preserving key controls and audits as blockchains prepare for possible quantum-resistant cryptography.
Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake says advanced AI could potentially break the encryption securing Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets before quantum computers, possibly within months. He urges the industry to consider a controlled migration to fresh addresses while crypto markets and ETFs face heavy selling.
Ethereum researcher Justin Drake has urged major crypto holders to prepare for a possible AI-driven attack on wallet signatures. No such attack has been demonstrated, but he recommends gradual moves to addresses with unexposed public keys, while Vitalik Buterin warns against rushed migrations.
Vitalik Buterin says AI-driven mathematical advances could eventually weaken cryptocurrency signatures and some post-quantum systems. He urged preparation, but warned users that rushed wallet migrations and poorly configured upgrades may create more immediate losses than any demonstrated cryptographic break.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin backed a cautious, gradual migration to fresh crypto addresses after an Ethereum researcher warned that AI-driven mathematical breakthroughs could threaten wallet cryptography before quantum computers do.
Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake urged the crypto industry to calmly prepare for “bunker mode,” warning that AI-driven mathematical advances could break ECDSA encryption in months rather than years in a worst-case scenario, before quantum computers become capable of the same attack.
Bitcoin Magazine has published an analysis of Bitcoin’s potential quantum exposure at block 950,000. The report examines supply vulnerability and the logistical challenges of changing the network, while the available material provides no specific at-risk total or proposed upgrade.
Europol says future quantum attacks are more likely to compromise exposed cryptocurrency wallet keys than destroy blockchains. The agency urged a phased move to quantum-resistant security, noting that about 6.9 million bitcoin sit at addresses with exposed public keys.
Europol says cryptocurrency wallet keys are the main exposure to future quantum attacks and is urging early migration to quantum-resistant systems. The agency says blockchain hashes remain largely resilient, but Bitcoin’s upgrade could create major capacity, cost and downtime challenges.
OKX has raised fresh capital from Circle, Ripple, Standard Chartered’s SC Ventures and Qube Research & Technologies at an unchanged $25 billion valuation, while its ICE-backed venture seeks approval to offer tokenized shares in 63 US companies.

Petrobras is testing Cardano-based CS-SAF tokens to track sustainable aviation fuel benefits and prevent duplicate claims. A related Diesel R model proposes supply-chain checkpoints, but the disclosures do not quantify commercial transactions or revenue.
Altcoin deposits to exchanges rose 160% in two weeks to their highest level since October 2025, while depositing addresses nearly tripled. CryptoQuant said the broad-based increase may signal selling preparation as smaller tokens gain market share relative to Bitcoin.
Bitcoin has slipped from an eight-month high near $87,400 to about $83,300 as CryptoQuant’s Bull Score reaches 90 out of 100. Yet spot demand, speculative futures growth and profit-taking data suggest the rally is losing momentum without fresh buying pressure.
The Clearing House has chosen Quant to provide technology for a planned US bank network for tokenized deposits, targeted for the first half of 2027. The deal supports Quant’s infrastructure role, but does not require participating banks to buy, hold or use its QNT token.
