Coinbase Urges Bitcoin to Begin Quantum-Resistant Migration Now

Coinbase's intervention matters less as a technical proposal than as a signal that a major custodian is willing to frame quantum risk as a governance problem rather than a distant hypothetical. The hard questions it raises — block space, custody, and dormant coins — are exactly where consensus is hardest to reach, since any migration touches coins whose owners may never reappear. Whether other large holders and core developers echo the call, or treat it as premature, is the open question; the absence of any timeline suggests the debate is only starting.
