Ethereum Foundation sets Dec 2029 target for quantum resistance across mainnet
The Ethereum Foundation has laid out a roadmap to make the entire Ethereum mainnet quantum-resistant by December 2029. The target is to convert all three layers of Ethereum L1 — execution, consensus and data — to a quantum-resistant structure. The timeline is set on the assumption that a quantum-computing “Q-day” could arrive as early as 2030. Ethereum aims to implement its next major upgrade, Glamssterdam, in December and then deliver full quantum resistance through five further upgrades.

G7 urges rapid preparations for quantum computing threat; bitcoin, ethereum also on alert
A G7 cybersecurity working group urged governments and companies to immediately begin shifting to post-quantum cryptography, warning that technology threatening existing public-key systems is advancing faster than expected. It highlighted the risk of attacks that harvest encrypted data now and decrypt it later. The EU has set timelines for migration. Bitcoin is considering BIP-360, while Ethereum plans broader upgrades. Larger post-quantum signatures could raise storage, bandwidth and transaction costs.

Bitcoin quantum discount hits 30 percent for first time; XRP back in profit zone, SHIB whales accumulate
Bitcoin posted a 30 percent “quantum discount” for the first time, putting quantum-computing risk at the center of market attention, even as U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $727 million of net inflows over the past five sessions. Concerns grew after Google Quantum AI assessed faster-than-expected progress on algorithms that could threaten secp256k1. Debate also persists over the BIP-110 upgrade. Altcoins showed recovery signals, while Shiba Inu saw whale accumulation.
