Europol Urges Crypto Wallet Providers to Begin Post-Quantum Testing

Europol's framing matters less for the quantum timeline than for the coordination problem it exposes: wallet providers hold the keys users cannot rotate themselves, so post-quantum readiness is a vendor decision imposed on a passive user base. The phased language implicitly rejects both panic and complacency, which is notable given how often the quantum threat is used as either a marketing hook or a dismissal. Whether wallet providers treat testing as a compliance gesture or an engineering priority is the open question, and it will show up in upgrade cycles long before any quantum capability does.
