#Ripple's answer: the $XRP Ledger goes fully post-quantum by 2028. The first major blockchain with an actual deadline.
The part nobody noticed:

BREAKING: CFTC Chair Mike Selig says the agency will move forward with crypto regulations even if the CLARITY Act fails.
Back in July, he warned that regulators would end up "writing all the rules" for crypto if Congress failed to pass the CLARITY Act.
Now he is saying the CFTC proceeds regardless.
Crypto is getting regulated either way, But the two paths are very different.
If Congress passes the Act:
Oversight is split between the CFTC and SEC by law. Only Congress can change it. The rules survive whoever wins the next election.
If Congress does not:
The CFTC writes the rules on its own.
Selig and SEC Chair Atkins have already built most of the framework, including a joint memorandum and a token taxonomy classifying 16 assets as commodities.
But those were written by agency heads, not passed by Congress. The next CFTC or SEC chair can reverse all of it without a single vote.
Selig can move fast right now because he is the only sitting member of the CFTC's five-seat commission. He can act alone.
The Senate has one day left before recess and the bill is still not scheduled.

The Law on Digital Currencies and Digital Rights takes effect September 1, 2026.
What it does:
- Recognises digital currency as property
- Creates a licensed exchange market supervised by the Central Bank
- Sets up digital depositories to record who owns what
- Regulates mining, custody and digital financial assets
Retail investors must pass a knowledge test and are capped at 300,000 rubles (about $3,800) per platform each year. Qualified investors face no limit.
Only the largest and most liquid coins will be allowed to trade.
The Central Bank has said Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT currently meet that standard.
Crypto still cannot be used to pay for goods inside Russia. Banks can block suspicious transactions, and a 48-hour cooling-off period applies to wallet transfers.
Meanwhile the CLARITY Act is not on the Senate schedule, and the chamber leaves for recess in just 2 days.
