The crypto market is bracing for a seismic shift as quantum computing advances from theory to tangible threat. Dubbed ’Q-Day,’ the hypothetical moment when quantum machines could crack classical cryptography has sent shockwaves through digital asset circles. While still speculative, the $93 billion quantum tech industry projected by 2040 suggests this isn’t science fiction.

Privacy-focused altcoins are seeing renewed interest as investors hedge against potential vulnerabilities in major blockchains. The specter of quantum decryption raises existential questions for legacy systems built on current encryption standards. Market participants are increasingly scrutinizing projects with quantum-resistant architectures.
