XRP’s Quantum Readiness In 2 Years: What This Means For Investors
The cryptography securing cryptocurrencies like XRP was always treated as an impenetrable wall. However, quantum computing is now making that wall look thinner than previously assumed. Developers at Ripple have published a detailed, four-phase roadmap to bring the XRP Ledger to full post-quantum readiness by 2028 in response to an increasing threat landscape. This is […]

Experts say XRP’s design leaves a smaller share of its supply exposed to a potential quantum attack than Bitcoin. An Armor Against Quantum Attacks? Following the recent spike of the crypto quantum-panic or “quantum FUD” (fear, uncertainty and doubt) after Google’s “doomsday” whitepaper, many crypto developers are analysts have taken into the job of running tests to make sure their coins are safe. Others are already writing up safety post-quantum protocols and proofs. Vet, XRP Ledger dUNL validator and long‑time XRPL contributor, shared on a post on the social network X the belief that....
Ripple has unveiled a multi-phase roadmap to prepare the XRP Ledger (XRPL) for a post-quantum future, aiming to achieve full readiness by 2028. The announcement comes as advances in quantum computing raise concerns that the cryptography used by many blockchains today could eventually be undermined—potentially putting long-term users and high-value accounts at risk. XRPL Faces […]
Quantum computing is a form of computing based on quantum physics. Where classical computers rely on bits (zeros or ones) to make calculations, quantum computers use quantum bits (qubits) that leverage quantum mechanics to exist in a “superposition”: a combination of zero and one, with some ...
At TOKEN2049 Singapore, Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards set aside his well-known Bitcoin bullishness to deliver an unambiguous warning: a quantum “Q-Day” could arrive far sooner than most of the industry expects, with potentially existential consequences if Bitcoin’s core cryptography is not upgraded in time. “Within two to eight years, a quantum machine will break […]
Developers working on the XRP Ledger added a new type of digital signature to the network’s test environment in December 2025 — one designed to hold up against attacks from quantum computers.
