  • Regulatory validation: The U.S. Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework (PQFIF) cites BTQ's QSSN as a model for quantum-secure tokenized deposits, signaling a shift from concept to implementation and alignment with emerging NIST PQC standards.



  • Standards momentum: QuINSA has approved QSSN as a global standard initiative (unanimous), placing it on the ITU / ISO / ETSI / IEEE track; BTQ is steering the technical roadmap, aligned with Korea's Quantum Technology Industry Act, U.S. NIST plans, and EU initiatives.



  • Commercial rollout: BTQ targets Q4 2025 pilots with leading issuers; QSSN upgrades privileged issuer controls with post-quantum signatures while keeping user workflows unchanged—positioning BTQ to capture a $280B stablecoin market (≈$5.7T on-chain volume in 2024) as institutions migrate to PQC.

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - BTQ Technologies Corp. ("BTQ" or the "Company") (CBOE CA: BTQ) (FSE: NG3) (OTCQX:BTQQF), a global quantum technology company focused on securing mission-critical networks today announced that the U.S. Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework ("PQFIF") cites BTQ's Quantum Secure Stablecoin Network ("QSSN") as an inspiration for pilot programs focused on quantum-secure tokenized deposits, and that QuINSA's Communications Coordination Group (Comm. CG) has formally approved QSSN as a global standard initiative with unanimous support. PQFIF lays out a practical path for U.S. financial institutions to move from today's encryption to quantum-resistant cryptography, with an emphasis on investor protection, market integrity, and alignment with emerging NIST standards.

U.S. Framework Endorses BTQ's Quantum-Secure Approach

PQFIF's inclusion of QSSN comes at a critical inflection point as U.S. regulators accelerate deadlines for quantum resilience in financial infrastructure. The recognition signals that quantum-secure controls are moving from concept to implementation and reinforces BTQ's edge in delivering standards-aligned, drop-in quantum upgrades with minimal changes to the user experience.

QSSN adds a quantum-secure control layer to an issuer's most sensitive functions, such as minting, burning, pausing/upgrading, and initial contract deployment, without altering how end users, wallets, or existing integrations operate. The goal is to protect the critical components of a stablecoin or deposit-token system while maintaining performance and existing workflows.

QSSN Approved as Global Standard Initiative

The Quantum Industrial Standard Association (QuINSA), a global, industry-led consortium driving international quantum technology standards through its members such as Nokia, Samsung SDI, SK Telecom, LG U+, and ETRI, has formally approved QSSN as a global standard initiative with unanimous support. QSSN is now an official QuINSA Working Group project and is progressing toward submissions to ITU, ISO, ETSI, and IEEE. BTQ is steering the technical design and standardization roadmap, positioning the Company as a key architect of globally harmonized, interoperable quantum-secure communications standards. These standards trajectory align with Korea's Quantum Technology Industry Act, U.S. NIST PQC migration plans, and EU quantum network initiatives, reinforcing BTQ's role in shaping cross-border interoperability for digital assets and payments.

Strengthening Stablecoin and Deposit Networks

BTQ has demonstrated how this approach can be applied to multiple models, including a JPMorgan-style USD deposit token (JPMD) and leading fiat-backed stablecoins. In these demonstrations, privileged actions are co-signed with both today's standard keys and a post-quantum signature, providing a standards-based path to meet U.S. quantum-resilience mandates without a costly system overhaul. Users continue to hold and transact as usual; the issuer upgrades its authentication path to post-quantum security. BTQ is now in discussions with several top global stablecoin issuers to pilot quantum-secure tokenized deposits.

The stablecoin market has reached approximately $280B in circulation (a new all-time high as of September 2025), with on-chain transactions totaling roughly $5.7T in 2024. Meanwhile, U.S. agencies are advancing post-quantum migration under NIST FIPS 203/204/205 and the NSA's CNSA 2.0 guidance, which sets glidepaths through 2035 for critical systems. QSSN is a standards-aligned security layer for the next generation of money, positioning BTQ as a critical technology provider for secure, scalable, stablecoin, and tokenized-asset markets.

Accelerating Commercial Deployment

The Company is advancing QSSN toward commercial deployment with a phased approach designed to meet immediate market needs while building critical infrastructure for institutional digital-asset settlement. The Company expects to launch pilot projects in Q4 2025, with initial focus on integrations with leading stablecoin protocols and cross-chain settlement validation. The development roadmap prioritizes rapid scaling through 2026, including support for major stablecoins across multiple networks, settlement-compression technologies to enhance efficiency, and advanced features such as collateral management and instant-finality options. BTQ is targeting meaningful transaction volumes as institutional adoption accelerates, with the platform designed to support billions in daily settlement value over time.

Frankfurt Symposium Showcase

BTQ will showcase QSSN's capabilities at the DeFi Technologies Insights Frankfurt Symposium on September 25, 2025, demonstrating quantum-secure stablecoin issuances for financial institutions and DeFi protocols. The presentation will highlight how issuers can implement quantum-resistant controls for minting, burning, and managing stablecoins while maintaining compatibility with existing infrastructure. The showcase precedes QSSN's planned production launch in Q4 2025, following successful pilots with multiple stablecoin protocols.

Executive Commentary

"PQFIF arrives at a singular moment for technology and cybersecurity, when quantum computing threatens to obsolete the public-key cryptography underpinning modern finance. That discontinuity demands a coordinated, standards-based response," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of BTQ. "For BTQ, PQFIF's recognition of QSSN is a watershed: it validates our strategy, positions us as the go-to partner as banks and fintechs pilot quantum-secure tokenized deposits, and accelerates our commercial pipeline, showing that a standards-aligned path can future-proof issuer controls against quantum threats without changing the user experience. As QSSN advances on the QuINSA standards track toward ITU, ISO, ETSI, and IEEE submissions, our leadership in shaping interoperable global standards is further reinforced."

As global financial systems modernize, BTQ is uniquely positioned to secure the rails of tomorrow's digital economy. With stablecoins and tokenized deposits set to anchor regulated digital-money markets under the GENIUS Act, and with U.S. agencies driving PQC timelines, BTQ stands at the intersection of two megatrends: the formalization of digitized money and the urgent migration to post-quantum security. This positioning enables BTQ to monetize its technology in the fast-growing stablecoin and tokenized-deposit sectors while building pathways into adjacent financial markets where secure settlement is mission-critical.
