Franklin Bi of Pantera Capital highlighted the quantum-resistant technology race on January 24th, underscoring market misconceptions about finance and blockchain capabilities.

The discussion reveals blockchain’s potential to become a “safe haven” as traditional systems face challenges from security risks linked to quantum advancements.

Community responses have highlighted Ethereum as a potential leader in effectively navigating transitions to quantum-resistant technology. Affirmation from figures like Dan at Pantera underscores the substantial demand for blockchain solutions in finance’s quantum era. As Franklin Bi, General Partner at Pantera Capital, stated, “I agree. But hey, we’re here to make investments and so we’re looking out over a period of months, and I think it’ll take years for enough public companies to come out in the blockchain space to even out all that demand. The demand is in the hundreds of billions. It’s a very large demand.”

Did you know? The successful implementation of Ethereum’s “Merge” has made it a prime example of blockchain adaptability, standing out against slower traditional financial infrastructure upgrades in the quantum-resistance era.

According to CoinMarketCap, Ethereum trades at $2,957.30 with a market cap of $356.93 billion. In the past 90 days, ETH has seen a decline of 27.33%, despite an increase of 1.95% over 60 days, reflecting fluctuating market conditions.
