Google Warns Bitcoin at Risk of Quantum Attacks: What You Need to Know

Google's Quantum AI team has warned that the Bitcoin network may become vulnerable to quantum computing attacks sooner than expected. The study estimates that attacks previously thought to require millions of qubits could now be possible with fewer than 500,000 qubits. This could allow funds to be intercepted during transfers. The study also notes that Ethereum may be less at risk due to its faster confirmation times. Google plans to transition its infrastructure to post-quantum cryptography by 2029.
