Justin Sun said crypto markets may be underestimating the potential disruption from quantum computing, including a possible impact on Bitcoin’s price, according to remarks reported by BlockBeats on Oct. 16, 2026.
Post-quantum work
Sun said Tron is working to implement post-quantum cryptography standards from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. He said the technology is already running on a testnet and could reach mainnet as early as early next year.
Sun described his Q-Day warnings and the timing for a mainnet rollout as his views in an interview. The BlockBeats report did not provide an independent estimate of when a quantum threat would materialize or quantify any effect on Bitcoin.
