Crypto World News reports that U.S. President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders requiring the United States to accelerate its quantum technology deployment and to guard against the impact of quantum computing on existing encryption systems. High-value assets must complete key exchange migration by the end of 2030, and high-impact systems must complete digital signature migration by the end of 2031. Quantum computing is considered one of the long-term risks in the encryption industry. Coinbase’s Quantum Computing and Blockchain Independent Advisory Committee previously said that around 7 million BTC are stored in addresses that may be exposed to quantum attacks in the future, including addresses from the Satoshi era and some exchange cold wallets.

The quantum threat has been talked about for many years, and this executive order finally puts the shoe on the ground. The exposure of 7 million BTC sounds frightening, but the migration window is still relatively broad.
