Cointelegraph's Crypto Biz column, published October 30, 2026, says the argument over quantum computing has raised serious doubts about whether Bitcoin will stay secure over the long run. Its main point is about timing. The economic damage could show up well before quantum machines can actually threaten the network.
The column does not say how big those economic effects would be or when they would arrive. It also gives no timeline for when quantum computers could break Bitcoin's security. Both questions are still open.
The same column covers three other developments. Ripple has obtained a US banking charter. USDC is gaining ground in Europe. VanEck has added BTC to a new ETF. The piece was written by staff editor Sam Bourgi and edited by staff editor Bryan O'Shea.
For someone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this report changes nothing directly. It contains no figures on funding rates, trading fees or order-book liquidity on any exchange, and it describes no change to how perpetual contracts work. What it adds is a debate about Bitcoin's long-term security, which has no measured effect on what a position costs to hold today.
