Galaxy Launches Bitcoin Quantum Security Initiative to Protect Bitcoin Against Potential Threats
BlockBeats News, July 21st. According to official sources, Galaxy today announced the launch of the "Bitcoin Quantum Security Initiative," a multi-faceted plan aimed at helping Bitcoin address the potential threat posed by quantum computing development.
The plan includes: providing up to $5 million in developer grants to support the research of post-quantum cryptography solutions for Bitcoin; establishing a dedicated research and publishing project by Galaxy Research to advance quantum security-related research; forming a Quantum Advisory Council to bring together top experts in quantum computing and post-quantum cryptography to guide Bitcoin's quantum security.
Bitcoin's current security relies on elliptic curve cryptography. In theory, once a sufficiently powerful quantum computer emerges, this encryption system may be compromised. Although currently there are no quantum computers globally that possess the capability to break modern encryption, the industry expects the realization of this technology to be accelerating.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the United States officially released the first set of post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024. In addition, a recent executive order issued by the United States requires the federal government to complete quantum-resistant deployment of traditional cryptographic systems by 2031, further highlighting the urgency of quantum security concerns.

Saudi Arabia's oil production in October surged by 26%, reaching the highest level since the onset of the conflict, while Brent crude has dropped over 20% this month
OPEC's monthly report shows that Saudi Arabia's average daily crude oil production in October rose to 10.56 million barrels, just several hundred thousand barrels lower than the pre-war level in February and slightly above its quoted limit under the OPEC framework. Iraq's daily output in October also reached approximately 4.9 million barrels, a new high since the outbreak of war. Meanwhile, after the UAE exited OPEC and began competing in the market independently, both the UAE and Saudi Arabia recently slashed their official December cargo prices for Asian buyers, intensifying the competitive landscape.
