Advances in quantum computing and AI-assisted breakthroughs are accelerating the potential to break the cryptography securing major blockchains, with initial attacks likely to appear as unexplained wallet breaches rather than direct, obvious hacks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3 and Quantum Computing.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Quantum computing is poised to silently break blockchain security without clear alarms, exposing you to stealth theft risks this year or next. Start urgently assessing the post-quantum readiness of your cryptographic keys before attackers exploit AI-accelerated quantum advances.
