The $3.8 trillion cryptocurrency market may have a major quantum computing problem on its hands moving forward. In fact, according to Tech Radar, “Sooner or later, quantum computers will be able to break through today’s encryption, and when that happens, critical industries such as defense, critical infrastructure, telecommunications, and others, will be at risk of nation-state attackers with enough resources to use the advanced tech for nefarious purposes such as espionage or data theft, research has warned.”
Unfortunately, quantum could have the potential to break down the codes that keep cryptocurrencies safe. They could decrypt private keys, ultimately allowing others to control and access others’ cryptocurrency holdings, creating a nightmare for investors. That potential to break encryption and security measures is what many fear.
“Quantum computers are posing a serious challenge to the security of the Bitcoin blockchain. Presently, about 25% of the Bitcoins in circulation are vulnerable to a quantum attack,” according to Deloitte. “Even if everyone takes the same protection measures, quantum computers might eventually become so fast that they will undermine the Bitcoin transaction process. In this case the security of the Bitcoin blockchain will be fundamentally broken.”
So, protection is essential.
Sadly, it’s not just cryptocurrency facing similar threats. It could impact just about every part of everyday lives including banking systems, email communications, communications, AI systems, and national defense – all of which is creating opportunity for companies such as 01 Quantum Inc. (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF), formerly known as 01 Communique Laboratory Inc.
It’s also creating opportunity for Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA), and Zscaler (NASDAQ: ZS).
Fortunately, 01 Quantum Inc. (TSXV: ONE) (OTCQB: OONEF) Just Announced Quantum Crypto Wrapper (QCW) technology to prevent crypto from quantum attacks.
01 Quantum, one of the first-to-market, enterprise level cybersecurity providers for the quantum computing era and qLABS, www.qlabs.tech, a crypto foundation focused on quantum resilience, announced the Quantum Crypto Wrapper (QCW) technology designed to address the potential cybersecurity threat from quantum computers to the $3.8 trillion crypto industry.
This innovation builds on a combination of ZKP and IronCAP™, 01 Quantum’s NIST approved post-quantum cryptography. ZKP is a cryptographic method that allows one party (the prover) to demonstrate to another party (the verifier) that a statement is true without revealing any additional information beyond the fact that the statement is indeed true. This is important for crypto as it allows multiple complicated verifications combined into a single fast and compact verification. This dual-layer approach allows for secure validation of quantum-resistant transactions on existing blockchains, without requiring a new Layer 1 chain or a dedicated validator network.
According to CoinMarketCap the global crypto market is now valued at $3.8 trillion (including stablecoins) and quantum-resistant timelines for financial infrastructure being accelerated at regulators, ensuring the long-term security of digital assets is becoming an even more critical concern.
This is significant as the GENIUS Act passed in July 2025 in the U.S. requires stablecoins to be backed 1-for-1 with cash or short-term debt making stablecoins a major source for U.S. Treasuries. Although the market has reached significant maturity, it remains exposed to quantum threats due to reliance on classical cryptographic algorithms like ECDSA. 01 Quantum and qLABS are addressing this vulnerability by delivering QCW that integrates seamlessly with existing blockchain infrastructure, improving security without sacrificing interoperability or performance.

Technical Highlights
- Patent-pending method (US #63/832787): Combines post-quantum signatures with ZKP for efficient and compact verification.
- Integration-first design: Compatible with existing major blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, and Hyperliquid, ensuring adoption without ecosystem migration.
- Performance optimization: Designed to operate on conventional systems today, while resistant to attacks from next-generation quantum computers.
- Scalable toolkit: Includes support for wallets, wrapped quantum-resistant tokens, and future post-quantum stablecoins.
“Combining years of experience in post-quantum cybersecurity, collaboration with NIST, and commercial software engineering, we are excited providing to qLABS our QCW technology for the crypto industry including stablecoins. Combining ZKP with enterprise-grade post-quantum cryptography for blockchain security is very novel and secure,” said Andrew Cheung, CEO of 01 Quantum. “Our mission is to give the crypto industry the confidence that digital assets can remain secure not just today, but in the quantum era ahead. It is important to understand that encrypted data being harvested today can be stored with the intent to decrypt it once quantum capabilities mature. Without proactive defenses, today’s assets could be compromised tomorrow.”
qLABS: Path to Adoption
qLABS, launched in September 2025 under the leadership of Antanas Guoga (Tony G), will spearhead the rollout of this technology across the crypto ecosystem. Its roadmap includes:
- Quantum-resistant wallets for individuals and institutions.
- Quantum-resistant tokens on most popular chains
- Wrapped tokens enabling any asset to become quantum-resistant while still on the legacy chain Quantum-resistant zk-proof verification protocol integration for DeFi and dApps, allowing developers to build quantum-resistant applications from day one.
“qLABS is not waiting for quantum attacks to arrive, we are preparing the crypto industry now," said Tony G, President of qLABS. “By integrating 01 Quantum’s technology into real blockchain infrastructure, we are providing the additional layer of security we feel is necessary to protect the crypto industry from the quantum threat.”
The arrival of Q-Day, the moment quantum computers can break widely used encryption, poses a looming threat to digital security. In anticipation of this, and the growing risk of “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks where encrypted data is stockpiled for future quantum decryption, global technology leaders are already adopting post-quantum cryptographic methods. Yet crypto remains largely exposed, with most public blockchains vulnerable to quantum-based key extraction techniques.
Other related developments from around the markets include:
Palo Alto Networks announced Prisma SASE 4.0, the industry's most advanced AI-driven secure access service edge (SASE) solution. It sets a new standard with innovations in Prisma Browser that neutralize sophisticated web threats in real-time directly within the browser, where legacy solutions have critical blind spots. It's designed to intercept and neutralize encrypted, evasive attacks that assemble inside the browser and bypass traditional secure web gateways. The browser is becoming the new operating system for the enterprise, the primary interface for AI and cloud applications. Securing it is not optional. As more critical applications and data reside within the browser, traditional consumer-grade browsers are no longer sufficient for businesses as they lack the necessary security controls to protect against the increasing number of cyberattacks. With Prisma SASE 4.0, Prisma Browser's new in-browser advanced web protection identifies and neutralizes malware in real-time before it can do harm. This provides a critical layer of defense that other solutions miss.
CrowdStrike announced innovations with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Intel, Meta, NVIDIA, and Salesforce to secure the future of enterprise AI. By embedding protection with the world’s AI leaders, CrowdStrike is uniting the ecosystem to innovate with AI, secure AI, and lead cybersecurity into the AI era with the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform. AI is transforming every industry – but it also creates new attack surfaces. Models can be stolen, data poisoned, agents manipulated, and cloud workloads hijacked. The Falcon platform delivers the foundation for securing AI – protecting the environments and models where AI runs, preventing sensitive data from leaving endpoints and cloud workloads, uncovering shadow AI apps and risky integrations, and securing AI agents across the SaaS stack.
