Coinbase urges crypto industry to prepare for quantum computing threat in first position paper

Coinbase has issued its first official position paper urging the cryptocurrency industry to take early action against threats posed by quantum computing. Its independent advisory board warned that while digital assets are safe today, quantum computers capable of breaking blockchain cryptography will eventually emerge. The board identified wallet-level signatures as the biggest weak point, citing migration costs and coordination challenges, and flagged risks from lost keys and inactive wallets that may not upgrade.

Ethereum long-term outlook still bold even after cut to $250,000

Ethereum think tank Etherealize projected a long-term price target of $250,000 for ether, down from its earlier $740,000 estimate but still implying a sharp rise from around $2,300. It said ether could combine store-of-value characteristics with yield through staking under proof of stake. It argued that if ether gained a monetary premium comparable to gold and bitcoin, the price could exceed $250,000 based on 121 million ETH in circulation.

Bitcoin, ethereum diverge on quantum computing response strategies

As quantum computing emerges as a long-term security challenge for blockchain, bitcoin and ethereum are taking different approaches. Bitcoin is leaning toward gradual steps that preserve its existing structure, including proposals such as BIP-360 to reduce public key exposure. Ethereum is outlining a structured roadmap that treats quantum resistance as a multi-layer system upgrade, emphasising cryptographic agility. Both networks have yet to finalise solutions, and near-term market impact is seen as limited.
