Galaxy Commits $5 Million to Prepare Bitcoin for Quantum Computing Threat
THE SO WHAT
Galaxy’s $5M quantum-readiness initiative is a small check but a big signal that major holders see post-quantum migration as a real Bitcoin risk, not sci-fi. If you custody crypto or build on public chains, you should be asking vendors for their post-quantum roadmap and migration assumptions now.
