Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse emphasizes that XRP is the company's "North Star," even as broader discussions about quantum computing risks in the cryptocurrency industry begin to emerge.
XRP Ledger (XRPL) record validator warns that some quantum processors could eventually compromise older XRPL wallets, equivalent to Bitcoin addresses from the "Satoshi era."
After studying 7.8 million accounts for quantum computing threats, the veterinarian reports that most of the XRPL network is secure, but 0.02% of the total XRP supply, i.e., Genesis wallets, are vulnerable to quantum decryption. This means approximately 23.16 billion XRP are fully protected from potential quantum risks.
He wrote: "23.16 billion XRP are completely safe from quantum computing. These accounts either rotate keys or do not sign any transactions at all."
Garlinghouse's recent statements reaffirm XRP's position as a core asset guiding Ripple's long-term strategy. In numerous media appearances and social media posts, the CEO has consistently described XRP as the "compass" of the company, meaning that every major product and corporate initiative ultimately integrates into the token's ecosystem.
