Hoskinson Flags Quantum Computing Progress as ADA Price Stays Flat

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has weighed in on the state of quantum computing, saying the technology has moved decisively from theory to reality. Speaking via the Angry Crypto Show, Hoskinson noted that IBM has observed unusual anomalies in its quantum systems — including what researchers describe as photons appearing to travel backward in time, a phenomenon tied to the concept of retrocausality.

The token remains range-bound, with market participants apparently treating the protocol's long-term cryptographic positioning as a background feature rather than an immediate trading signal.

The disconnect is a familiar one in crypto: technical differentiation that plays out over years rarely moves spot prices in the near term, even when the underlying…
