Bitcoin Faces Quantum Threat Amidst L1 Evolution and Arbitrum's RWA Tokenization Push

Recent reports highlight potential security vulnerabilities for Bitcoin from advanced quantum computing, which theoretically could enable asset theft. Meanwhile, the Layer-1 blockchain space is evolving into a competitive battleground, as corporate entities develop proprietary L1s, leveraging them for strategic and regulatory benefits. Adding to market activity, Robinhood has significantly expanded its Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization initiative on Arbitrum, offering nearly 500 US stocks and ETFs to its EU user base, underlining a growing trend in digital asset integration.

A quantum computer powerful enough to break Bitcoin could steal coins while the network runs as usual.

Corporate giants are building their own L1s, shifting blockchain from neutral infrastructure to strategic moats with regulatory advantages.

Robinhood’s tokenization drive on Arbitrum now includes nearly 500 US stock and ETF tokens worth over $8.5 million, as the brokerage deepens its RWA push.
