The “Sleeping Giant” Sector Amid the Quantum Computing Craze

By now, you’ve probably heard about quantum computing becoming the next big thing in tech.

Numbers don’t lie.

The quantum market is surging, with projections showing a shift from $1.3 billion in 2024 to $77.3 billion by 2030.

That’s an annual compound growth of 34.6% over the next five years.

Those projections aren’t surprising given the immense capabilities of this tech…

Unlike traditional computers that use bits, quantum computers use “qubits’ which allows them to explore multiple solutions to problems that even the most powerful computers can’t solve.

Imagine the impact of these super fast computers on areas like healthcare, finance and transportation.

But the truth is…

I’m not rushing into these groups.

All these quantum companies are still in their infancy.

It’s why they’re so volatile.

They don’t have fundamentals to analyze right now.

Instead, they’re based on what the market “thinks” could happen over the next five years, and then they play out like that every week.

So while it’s tempting to rush into any stock with the word “quantum” in it – past history shows many companies end up crashing and burning.

So while I’ll be monitoring the quantum stocks – I want to show you another sector I believe many traders are sleeping on that could thrive in this new digital age.

That sector is cybersecurity.

Every person who owns digital assets has that fear of waking up and seeing a big fat “$0” in their account. Wondering… “what happened?”

Not to scare you too much… but there’s a whole network of criminals out there who work full-time to steal your money.

Take cryptocurrency for example…

As of today, 28% of American adults own some type of crypto, which is up from just 15% in 2021.

Of those crypto holders, 25% of them store their crypto in a digital wallet.

These wallets are already 10-15 years old as Bitcoin has been around since the early 2000’s.

So the infrastructure and technology that’s housing these bitcoin holdings have exploded in value over the last decade – but the security behind storing crypto is becoming obsolete.

Then you have these hackers that are already ahead of the game when it comes to understanding quantum computing and taking advantage of it.

In short – they’ll be able to hack these things in no time.

It doesn’t seem like a good recipe for safety to me.

So while quantum computing is set to explode, I believe the demand for strong cybersecurity companies is going to explode along with it.
