Lawler Urges SEC to Ready U.S. Markets for Quantum Risks to Trading and Investor Data

Washington, July 30 — Congressman Mike Lawler called on the SEC to prepare U.S. financial markets for the “quantum era,” warning that core market systems face emerging cyber and operational risks.
Existing cryptography used in trading, clearing, settlement and protection of sensitive investor data could become vulnerable as quantum computing capabilities mature, he said.
Lawler also framed quantum technologies as a double-edged shift: they could improve fraud detection, risk modeling and market surveillance while forcing regulators to rethink market infrastructure and investor protection.
His appeal casts quantum computing, sensing and communications as a generational change that regulators should address now to keep U.S. markets safe, resilient and competitive.
