On October 7, 2026, Zumo and Quantum Chain announced a partnership to build quantum-secure financial infrastructure within the United Kingdom. The collaboration combines Quantum Chain’s quantum-secure blockchain infrastructure with Zumo’s existing digital asset platform, specifically targeting resilience against the future threat of quantum computing for central banks, banks and regulated institutions. Nick Jones, Founder and CEO of Zumo, said the UK is preparing for the full implementation of its regulatory regime for cryptoassets, which will unlock the growing institutional appetite for digital assets, as the companies aim to support long-term, secure digital asset management.
Quantum Chain Blockchain Secures Zumo’s UK Digital Asset Infrastructure
Zumo and Quantum Chain are partnering to provide quantum-secure financial infrastructure for private networks, payments and institutional digital assets in the UK. This collaboration directly addresses the escalating threat of quantum computing to existing financial infrastructure, focusing on resilience for private networks, payments and tokenized assets. This proactive approach embeds enhanced security considerations into systems intended for long-term operation, rather than retrofitting defenses later.
Max Denega, Founder and CEO of Quantum Chain, emphasized the national importance of this work, stating, “As a British citizen and military veteran, bringing quantum-secure infrastructure for UK finance home is a step towards a stronger British ecosystem.” Quantum Chain’s infrastructure integrates security, blockchain technology and finance, aiming to create a future-proof on-chain global financial system. The collaboration intends to simplify the adoption of quantum-resistant solutions for UK financial institutions, accelerating the nation’s agenda and establishing a secure foundation for digital asset deployment.
