Crypto had every reason to rip today... and still hit snooze.

The Senate finally passed a bill to end the 36-day government shutdown - something that should've given markets a shot of adrenaline.

... Instead, crypto dipped 😐

Here's the logic:

Traders were hoping news like this would finally spark some momentum. A government shutdown slows everything - from economic data releases to SEC approvals - and if there's one thing crypto hates, it's uncertainty.

So... the Senate vote should've been the green light, right?

Thing is, the House hasn't signed the bill off yet, and the government hasn't officially reopened yet.

Until that happens, no one's reaching for the risk-on button.

That's why volumes stayed thin and volatility kept fading.

The big dawgs are still nibbling on dips - on-chain data shows some Bitcoin accumulation - but retail's basically asleep.

Everyone's waiting for the moment when the macro picture turns back on and crypto ETF filings get real attention again.

So today's story wasn't bad news... it was almost good news. The Senate move puts an end in sight, but until the shutdown actually ends, crypto's stuck in standby mode: low energy, low conviction, and high boredom.

🧠 Quantum is coming for crypto

Imagine you lock up your bike outside the supermarket with the thickest chain on the block.

You feel untouchable. You walk away thinking, yeah, good luck stealing that.

... But while you're feeling invincible, someone out there's in a basement building a new kind of lockpick - the kind that doesn't exist yet, but will make your "unbreakable" chain a joke when it does.

That's the energy floating around crypto right now - thanks to a curveball called quantum computing.

Gianluca Di Bella, a smart-contract and zero-knowledge proof researcher, raised the alarm: quantum computers aren't powerful enough today to break crypto's encryption - but they're getting closer.

Big names like Google, IBM, and Microsoft are pouring billions into quantum research.

Plus, attackers are already collecting encrypted data now, even if they can't read it yet. Their plan: store it now and wait until future quantum machines are strong enough to decrypt it.

That's why Di Bella says it's time to act before the problem shows up 🕒

Mom, come pick me up, I'm scared

And what's crypto doing about it?

Right now, not too much. Most blockchains still rely on algorithms that quantum computers could eventually break.

Quantum-safe replacements exist on paper, but they're complex, untested at scale, and hard to implement without breaking compatibility.

Some hardware developers, like Trezor with its new quantum-ready Safe 7 wallet, are taking early steps. That said, "quantum-ready" in this context doesn't mean your coins are bulletproof - it means the device is built to adapt.

"So... are we cooked? 😰" - you, maybe.

Well, not necessarily. There's still time to prepare, and here's what you can do:

👉 Stay updated on post-quantum standards;

👉 Don't fall for "quantum washing" (companies using the word "quantum" without any math behind it);

👉 And lastly, don't panic. Quantum attacks aren't happening tomorrow, but preparing early means not being the last one scrambling to change the locks.

Because when those quantum lockpicks finally show up, you'll want to be the one holding the new keys - not the old excuses.
