Crypto is the canary in the coal mine for the quantum computing threat, experts say
Quantum computing is a risk factor for every encrypted system on the planet, including major banks. But crypto, due to the way it works, may be the technology that gets tested first.

"Cryptocurrencies are the canary in the coal mine," Eddy Zervigon, CEO of Quantum Xchange, said in an interview with CoinDesk. Zervigon's firm builds infrastructure to shield networks, including financial ones, from quantum-enabled attacks, and he's blunt about where the first casualty is likely to show up.

"That's the first place of attack because of the decentralized nature," Zervigon said. "Once you see it happening there, then you know that someone somewhere has a cryptographically relevant quantum computer."

A cryptographically relevant quantum computer, capable of breaking the elliptic-curve cryptography underpinning the Bitcoin blockchain's signatures, along with the encryption securing bank rails, doesn't exist yet. The consensus estimate for when it will is compressing, not stretching.

"The folks spending billions of dollars, like Microsoft, IBM, and others developing quantum computers, generally believe there will be a commercially relevant, cryptographically relevant quantum computer in the 2029 timeframe," Zervigon said. "That's not me making stuff up. That's based on what people like Arvind Krishna at IBM have said."

That estimate is consistent with recent hardware developments. Earlier this year, Google researchers revealed that breaking the elliptic-curve cryptography safeguarding top cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ether would require fewer than 500,000 physical qubits, a 20-fold decline from previous estimates. That prompted several observers, including Google, to pull forward the so-called Q-Day deadline to 2029.

The White House, meanwhile, is aiming to develop a powerful quantum computer

Discuss Hot Assets , Enter the Lucky Draw

Former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson has secured the Maine Democratic Party’s nomination for the U.S. Senate, officially replacing Graham Platner on the ballot after the former candidate withdrew following sexual assault allegations, which he denies.Jackson won overwhelming support from roughly 600 delegates at the state Democratic convention in Bangor, defeating biopharmaceutical executive Saundra Pelletier. His victory launches a 101-day campaign against longtime Republican Senator Susan Collins in one of the most closely watched Senate races of the 2026 midterm elections.The contest is expected to play a major role in determining whether Republicans retain control of the U.S. Senate. Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority, while Democrats view Maine as one of their best opportunities to flip a Republican-held seat.During his acceptance speech, Jackson focused on affordability and economic inequality, accusing Collins of favoring wealthy corporations over working families. A fifth-generation logger and former Republican, Jackson has quickly built campaign momentum, raising more than $1 million since entering the race earlier this month.Collins, who has represented Maine since 1997 and currently chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, enters the race with an $11 million campaign fund. A recent University of New Hampshire poll showed Jackson holding a narrow lead among likely voters, although Collins won reelection by nearly nine percentage points in 2020 despite Maine voting Democratic in the presidential race.The campaign is expected to center on inflation, immigration, and President Donald Trump’s policies. Jackson has called for abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), while Collins supported a $70 billion immigration enforcement package but has urged limits on certain ICE traffic stops.Social issues are also likely to feature promin

Risk-on peace trades are back in vogue after the U.S. and Iran held fire on Sunday, sending oil prices lower.

Bitcoin $BTC$65,250.07, the leading cryptocurrency by market value, is back above $65,000, with prices up about 1.2% over 24 hours. Ether (ETH) has risen by over 3% to nearly $1,950 alongside 1% to 2% gains in other top 10 token, including solana (SOL) and $XRP ($XRP).

Futures tied to WTI gapped lower on Monday, trading around 5% lower at $85 as of this writing, while those linked to Nasdaq and S&P 500 traded half a percent higher. Currency markets also showed risk-on trends, with the Aussie dollar and euro gaining against the U.S. dollar.

The United States and Iran paused military strikes against each other for a second consecutive day, creating room for a diplomatic breakthrough. The war, which began in late February, entered a fragile ceasefire in the second quarter, but it quickly unraveled.

Iran reportedly said that it would continue to halt airstrikes as long as the U.S. did the same, marking a tenous start of what appears to be yet another peace process.

"Prices are also responding to macro developments," Vikram Subburaj, CEO of India-based FIU-registered Giottus exchange, said in an email.

Ethereum Builder Says CLARITY ACT Rumors May Be Potential Catalyst For Next Crypto Market Dump

The next cryptocurrency market dump could be spearheaded by a myriad of factors across the crypto market as well as the broader global finance market. While it remains unknown what the exact catalyst could be, Crypto market players are already outlining their predictions in an attempt to inform fellow market participants.

In a recent post shared to X, formerly Twitter, a prominent Ethereum builder pointed to the widely discussed and highly anticipated CLARITY ACT as a potential driver of the crypto market's next dip.

Econar, a long-time Ethereum builder and crypto personality, took to X to share that a weak price rally-a fake out-may be witnessed as rumors of CLARITY ACT potentially being passed intensify.

"Crypto is going to do that thing where we barely pump on rumor of something good happening (CLARITY), and then when it doesn't happen, despite the pass not even being properly priced in, we will dump lower than we would have dumped if nothing ever happened."

Econar's position speaks to the market trend of "buying the rumour and selling the news," a pattern in the crypto community often led by increased market hype on a specific product, event or potential development, with no concrete evidence in sight.

In such cases, market players have historically responded to delays and weaker-than-expected performances with profit-taking and disappointment, often resulting in a sell-off.
