On December 16, according to Decrypt, Grayscale stated in its latest "2026 Digital Asset Outlook" report that although quantum computing presents long-term security challenges, its impact on cryptocurrency market prices in 2026 is minimal, calling it a "false alarm" for the coming year. The asset management firm believes that the quantum threat is real but unlikely to affect the cryptocurrency market or valuations in the short term.

The report cites estimates that quantum systems capable of cracking Bitcoin cryptography may appear as early as before 2030. Grayscale analysts pointed out that research and preparations for post-quantum cryptography will continue, but this issue is unlikely to impact valuations in the next year.
