Recently, a major scientific event triggered a chain reaction in the capital market, with Guofu Quantum (HK.00290), the only quantum computing concept stock listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the focus of market attention.
The Nobel Prize in Physics has triggered a collective surge in quantum concept stocks.
On October 8, 2025, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded this year's Nobel Prize in Physics to Johan M. Martinis and three other scientists for their groundbreaking contributions to quantum physics, "for their discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling effects and energy quantization in circuits." Notably, Martinis is a core founder of Google's quantum computing team. This move was interpreted by the market as a significant endorsement of the commercial prospects of quantum computing.
Spurred by this significant news, the quantum technology sector in the global capital market surged. In the US, quantum computing company Quantum (QMCO.US) closed up 12%. In the Hong Kong stock market, Guofu Quantum (00290.HK) saw strong gains in late trading, closing up 11.68% at HK$2.39 with a turnover of HK$30.9911 million, demonstrating strong investor interest in this sector.
Powered by the "Micius" team, it launches the world's first quantum encryption hardware wallet.
Guofu Quantum's strong performance isn't simply due to hype. Public information shows that the company is a unique quantum technology target in the Hong Kong stock market. Its core members, including members of the Guofu Quantum Communication Team, are members of China's "Micius" quantum science experimental satellite team. They possess a deep technical background and are a global leader in quantum communication and quantum cryptography.
Even more noteworthy for the blockchain and digital asset industries is the company's recent official launch of the world's first "true random number" quantum encryption hardware wallet—the GFQ Quantum Encryption Hardware Wallet. This product marks the official entry of quantum security technology into the core areas of digital asset storage and management.
Positioned as institutional-grade infrastructure to directly address the threat of quantum attacks
According to official information, the GFQ quantum encryption hardware wallet is not a consumer product for ordinary users, but rather positioned as "institutional-grade quantum security infrastructure." This product utilizes true random numbers generated by quantum technology to fundamentally enhance the unpredictability and security of encryption keys, aiming to provide financial institutions, large asset management companies, and other organizations with protection against future quantum computing attacks.
The product offers both standard OEM and custom development services to meet the stringent requirements of various institutions in quantum attack protection and cross-border compliance. Amid the rapid development of quantum computing technology, traditional encryption algorithms are facing potential threats. The launch of this product by Guofu Quantum undoubtedly provides a forward-looking solution for institutions with high security requirements.
The Nobel Prize recognition has given the entire quantum technology industry a boost. Guofu Quantum's market performance is closely tied to its substantial breakthroughs in the quantum encryption hardware segment. When blockchain technology meets quantum security, a race has quietly begun to determine the future security of digital assets. Whether Guofu Quantum can leverage its technological first-mover advantage to dominate the new quantum security arena will warrant continued market attention.
