A Bitcoin developer released a draft for the "Quantum-resistant Address Migration Protocol" BIP, suggesting mandatory migration of UTXOs vulnerable to quantum attacks.
According to Foresight News, as reported by Protos, Bitcoin developer Agustin Cruz has published a draft Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) titled "Quantum Resistant Address Migration Protocol (QRAMP)" to the Bitcoin-Dev mailing list. This BIP includes code for a hard fork consensus change that will enforce the migration of UTXOs vulnerable to quantum attacks. If QRAMP achieves 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 to a quantum-resistant wallet, Bitcoin Core will reject any transactions attempting to spend funds from Legacy wallets (which effectively destroys these coins from BTC circulation). Currently, this BIP is still in draft form and has not yet been assigned a BIP number.
