Trump Drives Quantum Readiness Push to Safeguard Crypto Future
TL;DR
President Trump signed two executive orders to accelerate U.S. quantum computing development and move the federal government to quantum-resistant encryption, aiming for a 'scientifically relevant' quantum computer by 2028 and mandating a shift to post-quantum cryptography by end-2031, with pilots at NIST and DOE facilities and increased cyber-security protections; the policy aligns with crypto industry preparations for a quantum era and the risk Bitcoin faces from quantum attacks.
