World's First Large-Scale Trial of Quantum-Secure Stablecoin Settlement Network
BTQ × Danal PoC live: Danal, Korea's #1 mobile carrier billing provider and operator of Paycoin (PCI), has begun a Proof-of-Concept of BTQ's Quantum-Secure Stablecoin Settlement Network (QSSN) across select payment rails, the world's first large-scale trial of quantum-secure settlement on real infrastructure.
What's being tested: QSSN adds post-quantum security, programmable issuer controls (mint/burn, velocity limits, lists), and real-time compliance hooks while preserving today's consumer and merchant UX, leveraging Danal's reach to tens of millions of users across e-commerce, gaming, digital content, and offline retail.
Why now (reg + standards): The PoC addresses "harvest-now, decrypt-later" risk and aligns with global standardization efforts (e.g., QUINSA, U.S. PQFIF), demonstrating that PQC can be deployed at national scale with carrier-grade performance and without operational disruption.
VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - BTQ Technologies Corp. ("BTQ" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BTQ) (CBOE CA: BTQ) (FSE: NG3), a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks that Danal Co., Ltd. ("Danal"), Korea's market leader in mobile carrier billing and operator of the Paycoin (PCI) payment service, has begun a Proof-of-Concept ("PoC") deployment of BTQ's Quantum Secure Stablecoin Settlement Network ("QSSN") across select components of its payment infrastructure.
The PoC will evaluate how QSSN can add quantum-secure settlement, programmable issuer controls, and real-time compliance features to Danal's existing rails while maintaining today's user experience for consumers and merchants.
Danal's Reach and Relevance
Regulation, PQC Readiness, and Standards Alignment
Regulators and market infrastructures are moving to post-quantum cryptography to mitigate "harvest-now, decrypt-later" risk, creating clear urgency for quantum secure settlement. QSSN is leading global standardization efforts for quantum-secure digital money, including initiatives advanced through QUINSA, and has been highlighted by the U.S. PQFIF for its regulator-friendly architecture. By adding cryptographically enforced issuer controls and compliance-ready integrations while preserving existing user and merchant workflows, this PoC demonstrates that PQC can be deployed at national scale with carrier-grade performance and without operational disruption.
"Danal's reach and track record make it the ideal environment to validate QSSN at real-world scale," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of BTQ. "This PoC is about delivering quantum-secure settlement and modern issuer controls without changing what users do at checkout. It is a major step toward bringing global standardization and post-quantum readiness to everyday payments."
"Our priority is to enhance trust, efficiency, and compliance across our payment network while keeping the experience simple for users and merchants," said [Name], [Title] at Danal. "QSSN's design fits that mandate: add security and control where it counts, keep everything else familiar."
