Trump signs quantum computing executive orders, urges deployment by 2028

U.S. President Donald Trump signed 2 executive orders to accelerate quantum computing development and speed the federal shift to post-quantum cryptography, reviving attention to potential risks for Bitcoin security. The post-quantum transition target was moved up to December 2031 from 2035. NIST must complete pilot conversions for federal systems by end-2027, while CISA will support critical infrastructure operators. The White House set a goal of deploying “scientifically useful” quantum computers by 2028.

Big banks expand bitcoin custody vaults, but key issue turns to quantum computers

Global big banks are expanding bitcoin custody as a strategic business, but a report warns today’s crypto custody infrastructure could face structural risks in a future quantum-computing era. Swiss digital asset technology company Taurus said major custodians carry significant risk during a shift to quantum-resistant cryptography. It said upgrades require blockchain protocol changes and broad coordination. The report argues MPC may face bigger hurdles than HSM, though the view is contested.

Ethereum unveils quantum-computing plan costing $0.07 per account

A plan has been presented for Ethereum to prepare post-quantum security at the account level without a network-wide upgrade. Nico (니코), head of the Ethereum Foundation privacy project Kohaku, said the structure could be implemented at a cost of about $0.07 per account. The proposal seeks to verify quantum-resistant signatures on Ethereum’s execution layer without a hard fork or added precompiles, and includes formal verification steps. Further security audits are planned.
