For quantum-resistant signatures to become reality, you may need to replace your own key
These kinds of plans can easily remain just headlines; the real hurdle is often whether users are willing to take action.
According to Cointelegraph, the XRP Ledger Foundation has proposed a quantum-resistant signature scheme, with Ripple targeting a full transition by 2028. Under the proposal, users will be able to replace vulnerable signing keys with quantum-resistant keys themselves. This is still a proposal and is not yet fully available on the mainnet.
One interpretation is that they are getting ahead of the curve on quantum readiness; another is that the plan is still in progress, and an announcement does not mean it has been fully implemented. To me, the more important question is whether and when users will replace their own keys. If users cannot actually replace their keys for a long time, or the transition timeline is pushed back significantly, the narrative of being ahead of the curve will lose some of its appeal. Would you focus first on the 2028 target, or on whether you need to replace your own key?
