As we can see in the article: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/dec/17/is-the-year-2038-problem-the-new-y2k-bug
there was explain bug in 32-bit processors.
Quote
The year 2038 problem is caused by 32-bit processors and the limitations of the 32-bit systems they power. The processor is the central component that drives all computers and computing devices. It crunches the numbers and performs calculations that allow programs to run.

Essentially, when the year 2038 strikes 03:14:07 UTC on 19 March, computers still using 32-bit systems to store and process the date and time won’t be able to cope with the date and time change. Like the Y2K bug, the computers won’t be able to tell the difference between the year 2038 and 1970 – the year after which all current computer systems measure time.
So, that it can be affect of cryptocurrency like a bug wallet, algoritma, or blockchain?

The block header contains a time value that will overflow in 2106. It is possible that somebody's mining software might set the value incorrectly as of 2038, but I'm sure they would fix that bug very quickly.
