A Bitcoin developer released a draft of the "Quantum-Resistant Address Migration Protocol" BIP, suggesting the mandatory migration of UTXOs vulnerable to quantum attacks.
According to Foresight News and reported by Protos, Bitcoin developer Agustin Cruz has published a draft of a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) titled "Quantum Resistant Address Migration Protocol (QRAMP)" to the Bitcoin-Dev mailing list. This BIP contains code for a hard fork consensus change that will mandate the migration of UTXOs vulnerable to quantum attacks. If QRAMP gains consensus and is activated in the dominant version of the full node software Bitcoin Core, a countdown will begin. By the deadline, if users fail to transfer their coins into quantum-resistant wallets, Bitcoin Core will reject any transactions attempting to spend funds from Legacy wallets (effectively destroying these coins from BTC circulation). Currently, this BIP is still in draft form and has not yet been assigned a BIP number.
