SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) saw its stock surge 5.10% during intraday trading on Thursday, driven by investor optimism following the company's participation in the official launch of the "Year of Quantum Security 2026" in Washington, D.C.

The event, which brought together U.S. government officials, industry leaders, and international partners, highlighted the urgent need for quantum-safe technologies. SEALSQ's active deployments of post-quantum semiconductor technology in the U.S. and its role in advancing quantum security solutions have positioned the company as a key player in this critical sector.

SEALSQ's CEO, Carlos Moreira, emphasized the company's commitment to securing digital infrastructure against quantum threats, with its technologies already deployed in millions of devices. This strategic focus has bolstered investor confidence in SEALSQ's long-term growth prospects.
