BREAKING: Quantum Resistant Ledger Surges 41% Amid Security Concerns
Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) has experienced a significant price surge of 41.1% in the past 24 hours, reaching $1.69 as of March 31, 2026, according to the latest market data.
The cryptocurrency, specifically designed to be resistant to quantum computer attacks, saw its market capitalization increase by $25.8 million (27.5%) to $119.6 million, currently ranking #235 among all cryptocurrencies.
Trading volume spiked to $182,478 over the 24-hour period, with QRL’s price fluctuating between a low of $1.11 and a high of $1.53 before settling at $1.69. The token has also gained 19.4% in the past hour alone, indicating accelerating momentum.
Post-Quantum Cryptography Gains Attention
QRL utilizes the eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme (XMSS), a cryptographic system designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers. As quantum computing technology advances, traditional blockchain encryption methods face potential vulnerabilities, making quantum-resistant solutions increasingly relevant.
The token’s price remains 63.4% below its all-time high of $3.87 reached in January 2018, but has recovered significantly from its all-time low of $0.041 recorded in December 2023, representing a 3,340% increase from that bottom.
Market Performance Overview
Over the past week, QRL has gained 19.9%, while the 30-day performance shows an 8.9% increase. The circulating supply stands at 78.4 million tokens out of a maximum supply of 105 million QRL.
The sudden price movement comes as the broader cryptocurrency market continues to focus on security infrastructure and next-generation blockchain technologies. With quantum computing capabilities advancing, projects specifically designed to address quantum threats are attracting renewed investor interest.
QRL’s fully diluted valuation matches its current market cap at approximately $119.6 million, as the circulating supply represents 74.7% of the maximum token supply.
