In its latest "Digital Asset Outlook 2026" report, Grayscale points out that while quantum computing poses a long-term risk to blockchain cryptography, it is unlikely to impact the price and valuation of Bitcoin or the entire cryptocurrency market in 2026. The report notes that most public blockchains will eventually require post-quantum era cryptographic upgrades. However, it is generally estimated that a "cryptographically significant" quantum computer capable of cracking Bitcoin's public key cryptography and forging digital signatures to steal assets will not emerge until at least 2030.
