Anything based on RSA, factoring primes, will be vulnerable. There are lots of forms of encryption which no quantum algorithm is known to process faster -- I believe elliptic key crypto is one. I don't know whether any cryptocurrency uses such alternative encryption schemes.

Sorry, factoring into primes. Factoring primes is easy. I can factor a million-digit prime myself by hand.
