An analysis suggests that XRP has a structure that is safer from quantum threats than BTC. According to CoinDesk, "When funds are usually transferred, the public key is exposed to the network, and it is theoretically possible to derive the private key from the public key using quantum computing to steal funds. Currently, 'quantum-vulnerable' Bitcoin in the form where public keys are directly exposed is estimated to be between 2.3 million and 7.8 million, accounting for 11-37% of the total circulating supply. Furthermore, to secure Bitcoin, funds must be moved to a new address, and there is a possibility of a quantum attack during the transfer process when the public key is briefly exposed. In contrast, approximately 21 million XRP with exposed public keys account for only 0.03% of the total circulating supply. Additionally, on XRPL, it is possible to replace only the account's signing key without moving funds, making it relatively safe from quantum threats," the analysis stated.
