Bitcoin should prepare now, even if quantum is a 'lab experiment’: Adam Back

Blockstream CEO Adam Back, an early pioneer of the crypto movement, said Bitcoiners should be looking at building quantum-resistant solutions now, even if the threat is still decades away.

“Quantum computing still has a lot to prove. Current systems are essentially lab experiments. I’ve followed the field for over 25 years, and progress has been incremental,” Back said at Paris Blockchain Week on Tuesday.

“That said, Bitcoin should prepare,” Back said, adding that the “safest approach” is to build optional upgrades that allow migration to quantum-resistant cryptography if needed.

Concerns that quantum computers could eventually break blockchain cryptography have fueled industry-wide fear that bad actors could use it to break into crypto wallets, plunging the market into chaos.

Back said in November that the quantum threat is still 20 to 40 years away, while explaining to Bloomberg earlier this month that today’s quantum computers are slower than calculators.

Despite this, his Bitcoin development company, Blockstream, has a dedicated quantum team researching potential threat vectors to the Bitcoin network.

Part of that work has involved implementing hash-based signatures on Blockstream’s Bitcoin layer-2 Liquid Network, Back said at Paris Blockchain Week.

“Preparation is key. Making changes in a controlled way is far safer than reacting in a crisis.”

He added that the Taproot protocol could also support alternative signature schemes on the Bitcoin network without affecting current users.

Quantum computing threat may be closer than it appears

Last month, Google and California Institute of Technology researchers said functional quantum computers could come sooner than expected and that far less computing power is needed to break cryptography than previously thought.

Google went as far as to say that quantum computers could potentially break

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure The American Bankers Association (ABA) is pushing back against the White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) stablecoin report tied to the long-awaited CLARITY Act, arguing that the debate is being framed in a way that misses the real policy risk. The ABA’s objection centers on the CEA’s analysis of stablecoin rewards—specifically, the idea that prohibiting yield on certain stablecoins would have little effect on bank lending or the broader credit market. ABA Pushes Back On CLARITY Act AnalysisAccording to the American Bankers Association’s statement released on Monday, April 13, the “live” question for policymakers is not whether banning yield on payment stablecoins would change lending in the near term. Instead, the ABA says the central concern is what happens if yield on payment stablecoins is allowed—particularly whether it would encourage deposit flight, with the potential for deposit outflows to accelerate from community banks. Related Reading: Ripple CEO’s Comments Stir Up A Wave, Here’s What He SaidThe ABA argues that by concentrating on the effects of a prohibition, the CEA paper creates a “misleading sense of reassurance” while sidestepping the more consequential outcome: yield-paying payment stablecoins growing quickly. In its critique, the country’s oldest national trade association pointed to the CEA’s headline conclusion, which it characterized as an estimate that prohibiting yield would increase bank lending by about $1.2 billion. The ABA responded that even if the direction of the estimates were correct, the figure is essentially a “rounding error” compared with typical quarterly shifts in bank lending.  The association argued that even a directionally correct result still does not answer the key question policymakers need answered: what w

The Take It Down Act has secured its first federal conviction, with an Ohio man pleading guilty to using more than 100 AI models to create and distribute nonconsensual deepfakes of women and children, putting the first real enforcement stamp on a landmark AI-specific law. Summary James Strahler II, 37, of Columbus, Ohio, pleaded guilty on April 7 to cyberstalking, producing child sexual abuse material, and publishing digital forgeries under the Take It Down Act. The law, signed by President Trump in May 2025, makes it a federal crime to publish nonconsensual AI-generated intimate imagery and requires platforms to remove it within 48 hours of a valid report. Online platforms have until May 19, 2026 to establish formal takedown procedures or face Federal Trade Commission enforcement action. The Take It Down Act has its first conviction. James Strahler II, a 37-year-old Columbus, Ohio man, pleaded guilty on April 7 to three federal counts: cyberstalking, producing obscene visual representations of child sexual abuse material, and publishing digital forgeries, the law’s term for nonconsensual deepfakes. The Department of Justice confirmed he is the first person convicted under the law. Between December 2024 and June 2025, Strahler used over 100 AI models to create sexually explicit images and videos of six adult victims and distribute them to their coworkers and families. He also generated deepfake content involving children and uploaded hundreds of images to a child sexual abuse website before his arrest in June 2025. What the Conviction Covers The Take It Down Act, introduced by Senators Ted Cruz and Amy Klobuchar and signed into law on May 19, 2025, criminalizes the knowing publication of nonconsensual intimate imagery, including AI-generated content depicting real people. It passed the Senate unanimously and the House by 409 to 2. Penalties under the law inc

ASML Holding N.V. lifted its full-year 2026 revenue forecast after the Dutch semiconductor equipment giant surpassed first-quarter profit and sales expectations. The results were fueled by accelerating AI-driven chip demand, though tightening export restrictions on China continue to weigh on the company's longer-term outlook.Shares edged up roughly 1% following the announcement. ASML now projects 2026 net sales between €36 billion and €40 billion, raised from the previous range of €34 billion to €39 billion. The new guidance straddles the €37.68 billion analyst consensus. For the second quarter, the company forecasts revenue of €8.4 billion to €9 billion, with a midpoint slightly below the €9.04 billion market estimate.First-quarter net income came in at €2.76 billion, topping the €2.54 billion consensus estimate, while total net sales reached €8.77 billion against an expected €8.5 billion. Gross margin improved to 53%, up from 52.2% in the prior quarter, with basic earnings per share at €7.15.CEO Christophe Fouquet credited the semiconductor industry's strengthening growth trajectory to sustained AI infrastructure investment, noting that chip demand is outpacing supply and prompting customers to fast-track capacity expansion plans. Memory chips made up 51% of new tool sales in the quarter, with South Korean chipmakers Samsung and SK Hynix driving much of that growth.South Korea represented 45% of quarterly sales, followed by Taiwan at 23%. Meanwhile, China's share dropped to 19% from 36% in the previous quarter amid escalating export control pressures. Proposed U.S. legislation targeting ASML's deep ultraviolet machines could further restrict Chinese sales.Wall Street analysts remain split — Jefferies flagged potential valuation headwinds, while BofA Securities maintained a buy rating citing rising EUV capacity and improving earnings potential heading into

Day one at Paris Blockchain Week turns into an institutional scouting mission for privacy, composability and gold‑backed tokenization plays in the heart of Paris. Summary Early conversations at Paris Blockchain Week 2026 are converging on institutional needs for privacy and composability, according to builders on the ground. Canton Network and iExec are drawing attention as examples of how to square confidential data with interoperable on‑chain workflows for banks and asset managers. A gold tokenization project reportedly backed by JPMorgan is adding real‑world asset “weight” to a program already framed as “where institutions and digital assets finally meet.” Day one of Paris Blockchain Week 2026 is underscoring a simple message from the buy‑side: if blockchains want serious institutional flows, they must solve privacy and composability at the same time. In a recap post after the first day, investor and commentator Tokenoya wrote that “institutions are converging on one thing: privacy + composability is the real bottleneck,” name‑checking custody platform dfnsHQ and permissioned ledger project Canton Network as emblematic of that shift. Institutional Paris turns to privacy and composability Held at the Carrousel du Louvre on April 15‑16 under the banner “Where Institutions and Digital Assets Finally Meet,” Paris Blockchain Week’s 7th edition has drawn more than 10,000 decision‑makers from banks, asset managers, regulators and Web3 infrastructure teams. Organizers and partners describe the focus as squarely post‑speculation, with sessions on tokenized treasuries, regulated stablecoins and cross‑border settlement rails framed as extensions of existing market structure rather than parallel casinos. Social media threads highlight how that institutional tone is filtering into side events. At a dfnsHQ gathering, they reported that large institutions now view priva
