Coinbase said Algorand and Aptos have advanced post-quantum plans as other proof-of-stake chains need more upgrades.The report said quantum computers are not an immediate threat, but blockchain preparation should start now.Coinbase warned validator signature systems on some proof-of-stake networks may face higher future quantum risk.

Coinbase’s quantum advisory board says quantum computing isn’t yet a threat, but has urged for upgrade work to begin, with some blockchains being less prepared than others.

ALGO has risen about 50% in April, pushing its market cap above $1 billion, after Google’s quantum AI research paper repeatedly referenced Algorand as the live benchmark for post-quantum blockchain securityGoogle’s paper highlighted Algorand’s FALCON signature scheme and State Proofs as practical examples of working post-quantum infrastructure, a stark contrast to Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are still debating migration pathsAdditional tailwinds include the SEC and CFTC classifying ALGO as a digital commodity, Revolut launching ALGO staking, and derivatives open interest surging from $38 million to $81 million

Circle’s upcoming Arc blockchain is gearing up for quantum resilience, revealing a multi-step roadmap to prepare for the looming threat.

Algorand jumped following its mention in a Google research paper, as post-quantum cryptography emerges as a new crypto narrative.

Experts cite portfolio rebalancing and geopolitical easing as driving the crypto market rally, though caution persists.
