Quantum-Proofing Your Seed Phrase: Is the 2026 NIST Standard Too Little, Too Late for Bitcoin?
In early 2026, the transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) has shifted from a theoretical debate to a regulatory mandate. While the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finalized its first set of quantum-resistant standards (FIPS 203, 204, and 205), the Bitcoin network remains anchored to its classical Elliptic Curve (ECDSA) roots. As "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" threats loom, the question for 2026 isn't if quantum computers exist, but whether Bitcoin can pivot before the "Quantum Apocalypse" becomes a reality.
