  • Quantum Computing Puts Asia's Financial Systems at Risk
    October 28, 2025, 10:58 PM EDT. Asia's financial infrastructure faces a potential disruption from quantum computing, with analysts warning that many institutions are ill prepared. While economies such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore are developing strategies to guard critical systems, a large portion of the region's banks and payment networks remain vulnerable as digital wallets and real-time payments expand. Quantum computing can crack public-key cryptography and the digital signatures that underpin secure transactions, threatening stored data, digital identities, and interbank settlements. Anndy Lian cautions that Asia's financial sector faces an existential risk if quantum-safe infrastructure is not built quickly, particularly in ASEAN. Once powerful quantum machines arrive within five to ten years, attackers could compromise confidential records and payment rails even before upgrades are complete.
