US Treasury Launches Quantum-Readiness Task Force With Digital Assets Workstream
The US Treasury announced the Quantum-Readiness Task Force, a public-private initiative to accelerate the financial sector's transition to post-quantum cryptography, following Executive Order 14412. It will run three workstreams — sector alignment and PQC transition, vendor readiness, and digital assets and emerging technology risk — building on the G7 cyber group's roadmap, which points to a non-binding 2035 transition target. Members were not announced.
