Grayscale: Quantum computing is unlikely to impact cryptocurrency prices in 2026.

According to a recent report, Grayscale's "2026 Digital Asset Outlook," while quantum computing presents long-term security challenges, it will have little impact on cryptocurrency market prices in 2026, calling it a "false alarm" for the coming year. The asset management firm believes the quantum threat is real, but unlikely to affect the cryptocurrency market or valuations in the short term. The report cites estimates that quantum systems capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography could emerge as early as 2030. Grayscale analysts point out that research and preparation for post-quantum cryptography will continue, but this issue is unlikely to affect valuations in the coming year.
