Justin Sun said on Aug. 27 at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference in Hong Kong that quantum computing poses a broad threat not only to blockchain networks but to the wider financial system as well. He said traditional banks, including JPMorgan, face similar risks. Sun argued that Bitcoin may need more time to reach consensus on post-quantum changes because its community is highly decentralized and involves multiple stakeholders, including miners, exchanges and WBTC-related participants. He also said TRON has been working on post-quantum mechanisms over the past year, released a post-quantum address solution in the first half of this year, and launched it on testnet. According to Sun, TRON plans to upgrade the entire network by the end of this year into a mainstream crypto network with post-quantum capabilities.
