Grayscale: Quantum computing fears unlikely to impact market next year

Asset management firm Grayscale has assessed that concerns over quantum computers threatening Bitcoin's security will not affect the market in the short term, according to its 2026 Digital Asset Market Outlook report. The report noted that while quantum computing could pose a long-term threat to the cryptographic systems of Bitcoin and other blockchains, it is unlikely to directly impact price volatility next year. Grayscale's analysis suggests that although research into post-quantum cryptography will continue, a quantum computer capable of threatening Bitcoin's encryption is not expected to emerge before 2030 at the earliest.
