Abstract generation in progress

【Chain Wen】New developments in the quantum computing sector. BTQ Technologies, a global quantum technology company, has recently been included in VanEck’s Quantum Computing UCITS ETF, which has already been officially listed in Europe. This ETF tracks the MarketVector Global Quantum Leaders Total Return Net Asset Index, with a portfolio comprising 30 companies with strong capabilities in quantum computing operations or quantum patents. The current size of the fund reaches $524.5 million.

More interestingly, BTQ recently launched a “Bitcoin Quantum” testnet, where miners, developers, researchers, and users can test quantum transaction pressure in this environment. In other words, BTQ is exploring how to make the Bitcoin network resistant to quantum attacks — a core issue related to the long-term security of crypto assets.

From ETF inclusion to the launch of the testnet, BTQ’s actions reflect the industry’s growing concern about quantum threats. As quantum computing technology advances, protecting existing crypto assets’ security is indeed a matter that every participant should pay attention to.

Quantum resistance definitely needs to be prioritized; otherwise, once quantum computing matures, Bitcoin could be at risk of splitting... BTQ's move is quite forward-thinking.

Quantum-resistant Bitcoin? That's what really deserves attention, not those pump-and-dump coins that hype every day.

Haha, quantum resistance is really getting more competitive. The move with BTQ is quite good... but it's hard to say how much pressure the testnet can withstand. --- With an ETF size of over 500 million, it still feels a bit cold. Why is the quantum track so lukewarm? --- Wait, Bitcoin Quantum testnet? If this really works out, Bitcoin's security attributes will be enhanced to a new level... but the premise is that this solution is truly reliable. --- Another one included in an ETF... these days, as soon as something is associated with quantum, it easily makes headlines. --- Seriously, how much longer until the quantum threat really impacts the chain? It feels like everyone keeps shouting "wolf" about this. --- I'm a bit tempted by BTQ's potential, but I'm afraid of getting cut again... the quantum track is always dazzling.

Quantum resistance definitely needs to be prioritized; BTC will have to face this issue sooner or later.

Quantum resistance really needs to be taken seriously; otherwise, one day when quantum computing arrives, our coins will be in trouble. BTQ's recent moves are quite interesting; the testnet seems to be quite practical. With a scale of over 500 million USD, it shows that capital is still optimistic about this direction, but only a few can really survive.

Quantum resistance definitely needs to be taken seriously; otherwise, if quantum computing really takes off in the future, current coins might become worthless paper. Someone should have taken this seriously a long time ago. BTQ's move was quite good. Huh? A fund of over 500 million USD... the hype in this sector is really heating up. Wait, the testnet is already running? That progress is faster than I imagined. Speaking of which, if quantum computing really arrives, what will happen to existing encrypted assets... I'm a bit worried.

Another wave of story-driven topics... Quantum computing + Bitcoin resistance sounds really exciting, but to be honest, an ETF size of over $500 million is still too small. Wait, can this really solve the quantum threat? Or is it just another hype concept about to start.
