U.S. Recognition: PQFIF cites BTQ's QSSN for quantum-secure tokenized deposits, aligning with NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards.
Global Standards Approval: QuINSA unanimously backs QSSN as a standard initiative, advancing it to ITU, ISO, ETSI, and IEEE tracks.
Market Readiness: BTQ schedules Q4 2025 pilots with stablecoin issuers, targeting the $280 billion stablecoin sector amid rising quantum threats.
BTQ's QSSN post-quantum stablecoin solution receives top endorsements from U.S. regulators and international standards bodies. This marks a vital step in safeguarding digital money against emerging quantum risks. On September 10, 2025, BTQ Technologies Corp. revealed the U.S. Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework (PQFIF) points to its Quantum Secure Stablecoin Network (QSSN) as a blueprint for secure tokenized deposits. The development occurs as financial institutions worldwide race to adopt quantum-resistant measures before threats materialize.
The PQFIF framework outlines a clear strategy for transitioning financial systems to post-quantum cryptography while emphasizing investor safeguards and market stability. Consequently, BTQ's approach is gaining traction because it integrates with existing infrastructures. For instance, QSSN fortifies issuer functions, for example, minting and burning, without disrupting user transactions or wallet operations.
Furthermore, the received endorsement arrives amid accelerated U.S. regulatory timelines for quantum resilience, pushing banks toward NIST-aligned solutions. BTQ demonstrates its technology through models inspired by JPMorgan's deposit tokens and major stablecoins, where dual signatures — classical and post-quantum — ensure compliance. As a result, institutions avoid expensive overhauls meeting mandates from NIST Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 203, 204, and 205, as well as the National Security Agency's Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) 2.0 guidelines.
QuINSA's Unanimous Support for Global Standardization
The Quantum Industrial Standard Association (QuINSA) delivers another boost to BTQ by unanimously approving QSSN as a global standard project. QuINSA, comprising leaders from Nokia, Samsung SDI, SK Telecom, LG U+, and ETRI, now channels QSSN into submissions for the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). BTQ leads the technical roadmap, ensuring harmony with Korea's Quantum Technology Industry Act, U.S. quantum-migration plans, and European Union quantum efforts.
This approval steps QSSN toward interoperable standards for digital assets and payments across borders. In addition, it demonstrates BTQ's influence in crafting secure communication protocols. Because quantum computing poses risks to current encryption, such initiatives become essential for future-proofing financial networks.
QuINSA focuses on practical standards through collaboration among industry, academia, and government experts. Therefore, QuINSA's backing validates QSSN's design for real-world applications, including testing and certification. BTQ's role positions the company at the forefront of quantum-secure ecosystems.
"PQFIF arrives at a singular moment for technology and cybersecurity, when quantum computing threatens to obsolete the public-key cryptography underpinning modern finance. That discontinuity demands a coordinated, standards-based response."
— Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of BTQ
BTQ's Path to Commercial Pilots and Market Impact
BTQ advances QSSN toward practical deployment with pilots slated for the fourth quarter of 2025 alongside top stablecoin issuers. These pilots emphasize integrations with protocols and cross-chain validations, maintaining unchanged user experiences while upgrading issuer controls. As an example, the system supports settlement compression and collateral management to handle growing volumes.
The stablecoin market hit a record of nearly $280 billion in circulation (September 2025), following $5.7 trillion in on-chain activity during 2024. However, quantum vulnerabilities loom large, prompting agencies to enforce post-quantum migrations by 2035. BTQ's solution addresses this by providing a layered security model that scales for institutional use.
At the DeFi Technologies Insights Frankfurt Symposium on September 25, 2025, BTQ will present QSSN's features for financial institutions and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. Attendees will see demonstrations of quantum-resistant minting and burning processes. Preceding full production rollout, the event is to highlight BTQ's readiness for the tokenized asset surge.
Overall, these milestones place BTQ at the nexus of digital money evolution and security needs. As stablecoins underpin regulated markets under frameworks such as the GENIUS Act, QSSN offers a reliable shield. Financial leaders should explore such technologies now to stay ahead of the threats.
