The post Why Black Swan Capitalist Founder Believes Ripple’s XRP May Survive Quantum Threats That Gravely Endanger Bitcoin, Ethereum ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

&nbsp Quantum computing has emerged as a major topic of discussion in the crypto industry over the past few months. The risks posed by quantum computing could represent a serious threat to Bitcoin, particularly because advanced quantum capabilities might allow malicious actors to break into older wallets, including those believed to belong to the pseudonymous BTC creator Satoshi Nakamoto. After analyzing these potential threats, Versan Aljarrah, founder of Black Swan Capitalist, noted that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP all depend on cryptographic systems that could, in theory, become vulnerable if Quantum computing advances significantly. While none of these networks are fully shielded from the rising risks posed by Quantum computing, Aljarrah suggested that XRP could hold an advantage due to the way the XRP Ledger (XRPL) was originally designed by its architects. Quantum Computers Could Threaten Blockchain Security In a recent post on the X social media platform, Versan Aljarrah noted that modern blockchains depend on a security method called elliptic curve cryptography.

&nbsp For those unfamiliar, this cryptographic system safeguards digital assets through a pair of keys: a public key that is visible on the network and a private key that remains confidential, allowing the holder to access and manage their funds. The Black Swan Capitalist founder explained that the risk lies in the possibility that a sufficiently advanced quantum computing system could eventually crack this form of encryption. If that were to happen, attackers might be able to derive private keys from public ones, potentially allowing them to gain control of digital wallets. In his opinion, such a threat would extend far beyond cryptocurrency. Aljarrah believes that if quantum computing reaches that level of capability, it could jeopardize many systems that depend on similar cryptographic protections, including global banking networks, the SWIFT payment system,…
