Trump's Quantum Push Wins Praise, But Experts Warn Bitcoin Isn't Ready

President Trump's executive orders accelerating U.S. post-quantum cryptography efforts are likely to speed development and funding for quantum-resistant algorithms, but experts warn Bitcoin's current Secp256k1 signatures are not ready for a real quantum threat. Immediate implication: custodians, wallet providers and users should prioritize migration planning (key rotation, hybrid/post-quantum signing and tightened key custody) to protect exposed UTXOs and private keys, since protocol-level changes will be complex and require broad coordination.
