Everyone is thinking about quantum wrong.

For sure, “Q-day”, when quantum machines finally have the capacity to pick the locks of the world’s existing encryption defenses, is coming.

No one knows when.

But AI is accelerating it—breakthroughs are happening.

And it could be very soon…putting approximately $500 trillion in assets at risk!

How soon? Well, the US government is telling companies to migrate critical systems now.

So, faced with the biggest threat to cryptography in history….

If only there was an industry with a concentration of world class cryptographers…

But the good news is that there is—and it’s the crypto industry.

No, quantum won’t kill crypto.

Quantum will be a major unlock and forcing function.

It will accelerate the world onchain.

According to @PatrickMcHenry, the incoming Congress is more pro-crypto than the ones from six and eight years ago, in both parties. 🏛️

His advice on the show with @austincampbell, @ramahluwalia, and @perkinscr97: lock in that political power. 🔐

[Bits + Bips @bitsandbips]

"Both parties, both parties." 🪙

@PatrickMcHenry tells @austincampbell, @ramahluwalia, and @perkinscr97 why crypto's political standing survived the midterms.

All of this debate/push back by issuers on the tokenization of their shares comes down to one question:

Does tokenization result in incremental buyers of my stock?

Tokenization offers obvious imcremental utility that includes: 24/7 markets, composibility, etc.

But, the infrastructure build needs to be completed before this utility is scalable. And security issues must be addressed as well.

This is the opportunity for founders and entrepreneurs who have the courage to build in the crypto space.

And it’s a BIG opportunity. Equity markets alone have a $160 trillion market cap.

Crypto’s next big export to traditional markets? Pre-IPO price discovery.

Head of Franklin Crypto @perkinscr97 explains why opening this up to more investors could be game-changing.

[Christopher Perkins 🦅🌎⚓️NYC @perkinscr97]

This was a killer @bitsandbipspod with one of the true policy legends—@PatrickMcHenry.

His post midterm take is much more bullish than most of the crypto twitter, armchair quarterback talking heads.

[Laura Shin @laurashin]

Democrats now control both chambers of Congress. What does that mean for crypto and AI policy?

Feeling @USMC Captain Perkins vibes today.

Happy Birthday to all who celebrate!

[Christopher Perkins 🦅🌎⚓️NYC @perkinscr97]

Happy @USMC Birthday to those who celebrate!

The Marine Corps is a legendary fighting force.

I was humbled and honored to serve.

Happy Birthday, Marines!

Semper Fidelis!

Ethereum just accelerated its post quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness timeline. There is a reason for this.

“We never asked for legislative clarity. We asked for regulatory clarity.”

@perkinscr97 on why institutions are walking into crypto without waiting for Congress.

[Christopher Perkins 🦅🌎⚓️NYC @perkinscr97]

Tough day. But, as the markets continue to digest the impact of midterms, I'm tracking one stat closely...

Provisional estimates suggest that this new Congress is approximately 2.6 years younger than the previous one, with the median age dropping from 60 to 57.

Historically, this trend has been good for crypto.

[Christopher Perkins 🦅🌎⚓️NYC @perkinscr97]

@SwissChainSA @FTDA_US @CV_Labs Maturation of the infrastructure, so the utility of tokenization can be fully realized.

[Christopher Perkins 🦅🌎⚓️NYC @perkinscr97]

@Stella_cgn @tokenforge @FTDA_US @CV_Labs Yes. Building. We need the infrastructure (regulatory and tech) to be in place so that the incremental utility of tokenization is realized (24/7 markets, composability, and increased, global distribution).

Franklin Templeton’s Christopher Perkins sees a favorable environment for crypto despite a divided government.

For XRP, regulatory stability could be more valuable than political promises.

Wall Street wants certainty, not another four years of battles

Franklin Templeton's Christopher Perkins on why crypto will lead the world through the quantum threat:

"The world is about to face its biggest challenge to cryptography in all of history."

"If only there was an industry that had a world-class concentration of cryptographers. We have an industry, it's called the crypto industry."

[Christopher Perkins 🦅🌎⚓️NYC @perkinscr97]

Markets are responding quite favorably to midterm elections. By their nature, the midterms eliminated a degree of uncertainty, and historically, the post-midterm market cycle is quite constructive.

As we digest the impact to one of the biggest campaign issues in the election--data centers--it's clear that decentralization of compute may be the solution that is needed to meet the insatiable demand coming from AI. Remember, AI x Crypto are friends.
