‘It Can Take Years’: Coinbase Presses for Bitcoin Quantum Migration to Start Now
In a detailed technical post, the exchange argued Bitcoin’s multi-year migration to quantum-resistant cryptography must begin before any “Q-Day,” laying out requirements spanning block space, custody and dormant coins.
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.
