VanEck Research Head: Bitcoin Community Acknowledges Quantum Computing Risks

Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck, noted that the Bitcoin community is fully aware of the risks posed by quantum computing. While the decentralized governance structure means upgrades take time, developers are working on technological paths for quantum resistance. Current efforts include testing signatures on sidechains and initiatives by the Bitcoin Security Consortium—which includes BlackRock (贝莱德), Fidelity Digital Assets (富达数字资产), and Block (Block)—to support proposals like BIP-360.
