Justin Sun Says Bitcoin 'Debates,' Ethereum Forms 'Research Committees,' While Tron 'Builds' As Blockchain Unveils Post-Quantum Initiative

Justin Sun announced Tron’s launch of a post-quantum upgrade initiative, positioning TRON as an early adopter of NIST-standardized post-quantum signatures. The move comes amid renewed debate about quantum risks to crypto after research indicating a powerful quantum computer could crack a Bitcoin private key in roughly nine minutes — potentially leaving an estimated 6.89 million BTC vulnerable (including ~3.4 million inactive BTC). Market reaction in the piece shows BTC down ~2.5% and ETH down ~3.7% while TRX was up ~1.3%. Industry figures including Coinbase’s CEO and former Binance CEO framed quantum computing as a solvable or non‑existential threat. The announcement may boost confidence in projects prioritizing post‑quantum upgrades and could increase focus on wallet hygiene and migration to post‑quantum keys, while near‑term sentiment around Bitcoin and Ethereum appears pressured by headline quantum concerns.
