Security
Concerns around quantum computing and its potential impact on blockchain security have resurfaced, with many networks taking steps to counter future cryptographic threats. A recent analysis by an XRP Ledger (XRPL) validator suggests that XRP (XRP) may be significantly less exposed to potential quantum computing threats compared to Bitcoin (BTC), largely due to differences in account activity and key exposure.

However, this risk primarily applies to addresses whose public keys have been revealed on-chain, typically when funds are spent
