XRP’s exposure to future quantum attacks appears limited, with fewer than a handful of large dormant wallets at risk.
This is according to new on-chain analysis shared on April 8 that draws a sharp contrast with Bitcoin, where inactive “whale” holdings and legacy address types leave a wider surface area open if quantum computing advances.
XRP’s Dormant Wallets Show Limited Exposure
In a thread on X, researcher Vet said roughly 300,000 XRP accounts holding a combined 2.4 billion tokens have never made an outgoing transaction, meaning their public keys remain hidden and therefore resistant to quantum-based attacks.
By comparison, only two large XRP wallets holding about 21 million coins each have been inactive for more than five years, while also exposing their public keys.
“Dormant vulnerable XRP whales are almost nonexistent,” Vet wrote. “The rest is active and has their public key exposed but is also reasonable to expect to rotate keys if needed.”
This, they said, is
