AI summary

Coinbase published a technical post arguing that Bitcoin's migration to quantum-resistant cryptography should begin now, before any "Q-Day" when quantum computers could threaten current encryption. The exchange outlined requirements covering block space, custody arrangements, and dormant coins, framing the shift as a multi-year process. The post is a forward-looking technical and policy argument rather than a market-moving event, so it carries little immediate price impact for BTC traders.
