A recent report by Wall Street broker Bernstein reveals that the rise of quantum computing poses a credible but manageable threat to Bitcoin and the broader crypto ecosystem. According to the report, advances in quantum computing, such as Google Quantum AI's reduction in qubit requirements, suggest that the risk is no longer a distant concern. However, the firm cautions that scaling quantum systems to break widely used encryption remains a complex challenge.
