[{"type":"text","content":"Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) (\"SEALSQ\" or \"Company\"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today issued a statement stressing the immediate need for organizations, governments, and critical infrastructure providers to accelerate their transition to quantum-resilient security. This announcement follows public comments by Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, who recently cautioned that the threat posed by quantum computers is no longer theoretical. Citing Metaculus forecasts, he noted a 20% probability that quantum machines capable of breaking today’s cryptography could arrive before 2030, significantly earlier than many experts anticipated. While the median expectation for “Q-day” remains around 2040, Buterin emphasized that the danger is real, it could come a decade earlier than expected, and the time to prepare is now. At Devconnect Buenos Aires in November 2025, Buterin reinforced this urgency, stressing that quantum computers will be able to break elliptic-curve cryptography, the foundational security layer of Ethereum and most modern digital systems. He called on the entire Ethereum ecosystem to begin adopting quantum-resistant foundations within the next few years, even pointing to the 2028 U.S. election as a highly visible milestone where the emerging quantum threat could have real-world consequences. Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ, noted, “Vitalik Buterin’s warning should be a wake-up call for every sector that depends on digital trust. Whether Q-day arrives in 2030 or 2040, the transition to post-quantum cryptography will take years. Organizations that fail to begin migrating today may find themselves exposed to catastrophic vulnerabilities tomorrow.” Mr. Moreira continued, “Preparing for the post-quantum era is no longer optional. SEALSQ is committed to providing the hardware and cryptographic frameworks necessary to ensure trust and resilience in a world where quantum computing becomes a practical reality.” SEALSQ and WISeKey Move Decisively to Secure the Post-Quantum FutureSEALSQ and its parent company, WISeKey International Holding Ltd.
