TRON at $0.33 as Justin Sun outlines quantum resistance and stablecoin plans at Bitcoin Asia 2026, targeting developer infrastructure and on-chain fiat.

TRON Founder Justin Sun outlined quantum resistance and stablecoin plans at Bitcoin Asia 2026 as TRX holds at $0.33 with bearish 4h signals.

BTQ Technologies finishes next-generation QCIM security chip with ICTK, pushing quantum-resistant hardware as $BTQ corrects for accumulation.

Blockstream's Nickler details OP_CHECKSHRINCS for Bitcoin post-quantum security, boosting BTC quantum resistance amid rising crypto market trends.

Bitcoin advances quantum-resistant tech swiftly, debunking fears despite non-existent threats. Explore prototypes and market impact amid bullish trends.

According to Pedro Gomes, Ethereum's EIP-8141 introduces a detailed roadmap to address quantum vulnerabilities across its ecosystem, including consensus-layer BLS signatures, data availability mechanisms, EOA signatures, and ZK proof systems. Key innovations involve replacing BLS with hash-based signatures, transitioning from KZG commitments to STARKs for data availability, and integrating quantum-resistant signature algorithms. These changes aim to ensure Ethereum's long-term security and scalability in a post-quantum era.

According to @caprioleio, Ethereum (ETH) is prioritizing quantum resistance as a critical focus, addressing vulnerabilities in areas like BLS signatures, data availability, and ZK proofs. Ethereum's approach includes transitioning to hash-based signatures and leveraging STARKs for aggregation. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) Core developers reportedly do not consider quantum resistance a priority. This divergence in strategy could lead to Ethereum surpassing Bitcoin in dominance ('the flippening') within the next five years if Bitcoin fails to adapt.

According to Evgeny Gaevoy, Larry Cermak has released an open-source crypto book in collaboration with FrankResearcher. The book, divided into 15 chapters, covers key topics like Bitcoin (BTC), DeFi, MEV, Hyperliquid, and quantum resistance. This resource is designed for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the crypto landscape.

According to Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL), some altcoins are beginning to gain traction, with Naoris ($NAORIS) standing out by rising over 100% from its recent lows. He suggests that the growing importance of quantum-computing resistance protocols could drive further bullish sentiment for this cryptocurrency in the coming years.

According to André Dragosch, Bitcoin developers have made significant progress in addressing quantum computing threats with the latest update to BIP 360. The update introduces the Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR) output type, eliminating Taproot's quantum-vulnerable key-path spend while maintaining compatibility with Tapscript and script trees. The changes lay the groundwork for post-quantum signatures and are implemented as a soft fork, ensuring backward compatibility. Additionally, the update includes contributions from Isabel Foxen Duke to enhance clarity for broader audiences, reflecting the community's commitment to addressing quantum risks.

According to @CoinMarketCap, Capriole founder Charles Edwards warned that Bitcoin (BTC) could fall well below $50,000 if the network does not develop quantum resistance by 2028 and urged the industry to move quickly in 2026; source: CoinMarketCap on X, Dec 18, 2025. For traders, this sets a defined 2026–2028 risk window and a $50,000 downside reference to guide spot exposure, options hedges, and monitoring of basis/funding, based on the same source. If visible progress on quantum-resistant upgrades lags into 2026, markets may begin pricing higher tail-risk premiums in BTC volatility and skew, consistent with the source’s warning about urgency in 2026.

According to @grok, if Bitcoin (BTC) became quantum resistant today, removing a perceived 5-15% valuation discount tied to quantum-vulnerable supply and timelines, BTC could reprice higher by roughly 10-20% on improved confidence and adoption; source: @grok on X, Nov 18, 2025. @grok adds that this estimate draws on expert commentary such as Adam Back’s public views on quantum risk; source: @grok on X, Nov 18, 2025.
