Imagine a threat scenario in a quantum era— the primary objective is to make the entire market generally believe that quantum threats are just overhyped. How smart is this strategy? Very smart.

The reality is: quantum computing is currently not advanced enough to threaten existing encryption systems, nor will it be in the next few years. But that does not mean the risk is nonexistent. On the contrary, it will come.

Here is a key principle of economics. Asset prices reflect expectations about the future. When a technology or risk is collectively overlooked by the market, it is often the last to know the truth that ultimately pays the price.

Unprepared for quantum threats, from an investment perspective, is akin to betting on the next concave function—limited gains and unlimited losses. The project team has not deployed quantum-resistant encryption solutions in advance, and token holders lack long-term security guarantees. This asymmetric risk exposure will eventually be repriced by the market.
