Pantera Capital: Resistance to quantum competition may strengthen the "gravitational effect" of blockchain networks such as Ethereum.
AI Summary1 min read
TL;DR
Pantera Capital argues that the quantum-resistant race is misjudged: traditional finance adapts slowly with high risks, while blockchains like Ethereum can upgrade quickly to become safe havens, potentially strengthening their gravitational effect.

According to Mars Finance, Franklin Bi, General Partner at Pantera Capital, stated in an article on the X platform that the quantum-resistant race has begun, but the market has clearly misjudged the adaptability of traditional finance and blockchain. The market has overestimated the speed at which the Wall Street system can adapt to quantum-resistant technology upgrades, as the migration process of traditional financial infrastructure will be slow and chaotic, and difficult to escape risks such as single points of failure. The overall security of the traditional financial system depends on its weakest link. At the same time, the market has underestimated the unique upgrade capabilities of blockchain technology. If upgrades can be successfully completed within the critical window, some blockchains are expected to evolve into "safe havens" for data and assets in the quantum-resistant era. Ethereum is already one of the few successful examples demonstrating the ability to complete complex system upgrades globally (such as the previous The Merge upgrade). The security risks brought by quantum computing may actually strengthen the "gravitational effect" of a few core blockchain networks.
