Quantum computing poses a real but manageable threat to Bitcoin, according to Wall Street broker Bernstein. The rise of quantum computing has led to breakthroughs that compress timelines for potential attacks on modern cryptography. However, scaling quantum systems to break widely used encryption remains a complex challenge.
Meanwhile, the Drift hack reveals a new type of threat, where attackers use social engineering and fake identities to exploit vulnerabilities. The Solana Foundation has launched a billboard campaign with a contrarian approach to crypto marketing, and Alchemy has released a new tool, AgentPay, to enable interoperability between AI payment systems.
