Serious BlackRock Bitcoin Warning Fuels ‘Disaster’ Fears As The Price Suddenly Dives

BlackRock updated its iShares Bitcoin ETF filing on May 9, 2025, to highlight quantum computing risks to Bitcoin's network security.
This disclosure reflects concerns that emerging quantum technology could undermine cryptographic algorithms safeguarding Bitcoin and other digital assets.
BlackRock's IBIT ETF, holding about $64 billion in assets, is the largest spot Bitcoin ETF and has rapidly grown since launching in January 2024.
David Carvalho said no blockchain is ready for quantum attacks, which Paolo Ardoino predicted would allow hackers to access dormant bitcoins, including Satoshi's coins.
This warning signals potential long-term risks for Bitcoin's security model and shareholder value, though such threats remain distant and highly uncertain.
