Jan. 24 — The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has made post-quantum security its top strategic priority. The organization announced the launch of a dedicated post-quantum team led by Thomas Coratger, with support from leanVM cryptographer Emile. Researcher Justin Drake noted that Ethereum is shifting from long-term background research to active engineering efforts, including hosting biweekly Post-Quantum Transaction Developer Calls and running a multi-client Post-Quantum Consensus Testnet. The EF is also ramping up funding and community engagement, planning to roll out two $1 million cryptography grants and host multiple post-quantum-focused community events and educational initiatives by 2026. The foundation emphasized that while the quantum threat remains a medium- to long-term risk, blockchains must plan ahead to ensure wallet security and smooth network upgrades.

On January 24th, Daniel Li—founder of Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital)—forwarded a note from BlackRock’s 2026 Thematic Outlook Report, which highlights Ethereum is poised to be a key beneficiary of asset tokenization (currently ~65% of tokenized assets are deployed on the Ethereum network). Li stated: “The globalization of stablecoins and top beneficiary of on-chain finance is ETH—these are crypto’s biggest real-world application opportunities. Short-term consolidation near the bottom is a normal process. Lately, our daily focus has been buying more ETH on dips and actively engaging with ETH capital platforms to help them grow their capital and boost our ETH holdings. Only through hands-on work and going long can we achieve the ultimate great outcome.”
