Cointelegraph flags Bitcoin quantum risk as Ripple wins US banking charter
· By MyCryptoSignal Editorial · 337 words
Cointelegraph reports that Bitcoin's quantum computing exposure is shifting from a technical question into an economic one. The same roundup notes Ripple securing a US banking charter, USDC gaining ground in Europe, and VanEck adding Bitcoin to a new ETF. The piece was published on 30 October 2026.
Cointelegraph frames quantum security as a cost problem for Bitcoin rather than a purely cryptographic one. The report groups that concern with three other developments: Ripple's US banking charter, USDC's expansion in Europe, and VanEck's addition of Bitcoin to a new exchange-traded fund. The author line is unattributed in the source data.
The summary does not quantify the quantum risk, name a timeline, or cite any figure for the Ripple charter, the USDC growth, or the VanEck fund. We are passing on what Cointelegraph states and nothing further; we have not verified its figures.
As of 09:17 UTC on 31 October 2026, Bitcoin traded at $77,277, down 0.66% over 24 hours, according to our collected data. The coin moved between $76,338 and $77,932 in that window, with support at $76,460.90 and resistance at $77,494. Its 7-day change was -4.21% and its 30-day change -7.39%. The 14-period RSI sat at 46 and the trend reading was down.
USD Coin traded at $0.999917, up 0.037% on the day, with a 7-day change of 0.0179% and a 30-day change of 0.0026%. Its 24-hour range held between $0.999394 and $1.00, with support at $0.9995 and resistance at $0.9999, an RSI of 45.5 and a flat trend. Across the wider market, total capitalisation stood at $2.4506 trillion, down 0.43% over 24 hours, with Bitcoin dominance at 63.4%.
Bitcoin's 30-day change of -7.39% and its down trend sit alongside a 63.4% dominance share, so the asset still anchors the $2.4506 trillion total. USDC's flat print near $0.999917 keeps it close to its peg. Cointelegraph's quantum point and the Ripple charter both touch on where trust in settlement sits, which is the ground these numbers describe.
