Guillemet: BTC Faced with Quantum Risks, Needs to Migrate to Post-Quantum Cryptography
2026-09-28 22:51:12
According to CoinMeta, Ledger Chief Technology Officer Charles Guillemet stated that the view that only 30.2% of BTC is at risk from quantum computing is problematic. He pointed out that the risk of public key exposure is widespread in xpub, devices, PSBT, logs, or backups, and that the public key is made visible whenever a BTC transaction is initiated. Attacks on secp256k1 could be completed within 9 minutes using high-speed quantum computers, therefore Bitcoin needs to migrate to post-quantum cryptography.
