A Bitcoin developer released a BIP draft proposing to force the migration of UTXOs vulnerable to quantum attacks

PANews reported on April 5 that according to Protos, Bitcoin developer Agustin Cruz published a draft Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) called "Quantum-Resistant Address Migration Protocol (QRAMP)" on the Bitcoin-Dev mailing list. The BIP draft contains code for hard fork consensus changes that will force 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 to quantum-resistant wallets, Bitcoin Core will reject any transactions that attempt to spend funds from Legacy wallets. In the description of the BIP, Cruz believes that it provides "legal owners with a clear, non-negotiable opportunity to protect their funds." He called his proposal "realistic" and "necessary." Importantly, BIP will effectively change the supply of BTC. After its deadline, it will reject transactions from old UTXOs. This is actually destroying these currencies from BTC circulation. Currently this BIP is still in draft stage and has not yet been assigned a BIP number.
