- Large Bitcoin holders are not selling despite concerns about quantum computing.
- An analyst said on-chain data shows whales remain confident.
- The report suggests quantum risks are not affecting current investor behaviour.
Large Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) holders are continuing to hold their coins despite ongoing concerns that future advances in quantum computing could threaten blockchain security.
An analyst said on-chain data shows no sign of large-scale selling by Bitcoin whales in response to quantum computing risks.
“Whales are not selling because of quantum fears,” the analyst said.
Quantum computers could eventually break some forms of cryptographic security, but many researchers believe the technology is still years away from posing a practical threat to Bitcoin.
Bitcoin developers have discussed possible upgrades that could introduce quantum-resistant cryptography if the technology advances significantly.
Large Bitcoin wallets are often closely watched because their buying and selling activity can influence market sentiment.
The latest on-chain data suggests long-term holders remain focused on Bitcoin's current market outlook rather than potential future risks from quantum computing.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $64,545.35.
