Bitcoin’s long-term security model is once again under the spotlight following 
new data from Glassnode suggesting that the network could face theoretical 
risks in a future dominated by quantum computing. The report shows that a 
significant portion of BTC&#8217;s circulating supply could be vulnerable in the 
future if quantum technology advances to the point where it can break current 
cryptographic protections. Glassnode’s Data Reveals The Scale Of Potential 
Future Exposure New data from Glassnode, an on-chain data analytics platform, 
has shed light on a potential long-term change facing Bitcoin&#8217;s security 
model. Crypto trader Evans revealed on X that the analysis estimates that 
approximately 6.04 million BTC, nearly 30% of the total BTC supply, could 
theoretically be at risk from future quantum computing threats. Related

Sideways Price Performance This is because the public keys associated with 
those coins have already been exposed on-chain. However, what stands out even 
more is that roughly 4.12 million BTC of the risk is associated with address 
reuse and outdated custody methods that unnecessarily increase public-key 
exposure. In addition, the data also indicates that centralized exchanges 
collectively hold more than 1.6 million BTC in potentially exposed addresses. 
Comparing Current Volume Collapse To The 2023 Bear Market Bitcoin spot trading 
volumes have collapsed by approximately 81% since October 2025, pushing market 
activity back to levels typically associated with bear market conditions. A 
Verified Author for CryptoQuant, known as Darkfost, has pointed out that to 
find similarly low participation, one would have to look back to July 2023, 
highlighting just how sharply spot volumes have declined. Related Reading: 
Bitcoin LTH Supply Surge Does Not Reflect Real Demand — Here’s Why Despite the 
broader slowdown, major exchanges like Binance continue to dominate the market 
with $36.4 billion in trading volume, and recorded $198.6 billion in October 
2025. Therefore, volumes are nearly 5 times lower in the current market, 
representing 81% decline, and Binance is far from an isolated case. Meanwhile, 
Gate.io has also seen a massive 79.6% drop in volumes, and Bybit is down 66%. 
This development primarily reflects a macro environment that has been 
unfavorable for risk assets such as cryptocurrencies. The persistently rising 
inflationary pressures and the prolonged US-Iran tensions have pushed 
investors toward preferred commodities and traditional equity indices over 
crypto markets. According to Darkfost, this dynamic can also be interpreted 
constructively. The sharp decline in trading activity shows that the selling 
pressure behind the current retracement is gradually losing momentum. 
Historically, prolonged periods of weak spot volume have often coincided with 
the later stages of market corrections, when selling pressure begins to 
exhaust itself, and speculative excess is flushed from the system. Notably, a 
similar collapse in trading activity occurred near the end of the 2023 bear 
market before volatility returned and the bullish trend recovered. Featured
