The post Quantum Computers Could Break Crypto by 2030, Circle Just Made the First Move appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Circle, the issuer of USDC, has just become the first major stablecoin company to address the threat of quantum computers. It officially released a quantum-resistance roadmap for Arc, its Layer 1 blockchain.
The company warns that by 2030, powerful quantum computers could break current cryptography, putting wallets, transactions, and blockchain data at risk.
Circle’s Arc Targets Post-Quantum Security
Circle is designing Arc as a stablecoin-focused Layer 1 and building quantum protection into the network from the start.
Today, public-key cryptography protects every crypto wallet, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC. When you send a transaction, your private key creates a digital signature that proves it came from you.
The problem is that quantum computers could eventually reverse these signatures, allowing attackers to access wallets.
