Overview

• Speaking at the All-In Summit, Anatoly Yakovenko called for Bitcoin to migrate to quantum-resistant signature schemes before a threat materializes.
• He put the odds of a meaningful quantum breakthrough at roughly 50/50 within five years, pointing to the pace of AI-enabled research as a catalyst.
• Such an upgrade would likely require a hard fork, a contentious step, and several Bitcoin figures argue practical quantum risks are still decades away.
• Yakovenko said Bitcoin remains resilient against present-day risks and praised proof-of-work’s simplicity as a strong defense.
• He also forecast stablecoins concentrating U.S. Treasury holdings on the internet and pressed for U.S. regulatory clarity via the Clarity Act as Solana pursues an execution-layer role for tokenized assets.
