Quantum fintech is going to make blockchain fintech look like child’s play.

You can't make statements like that without elaborating on what quantum computing can possibly provide.
Two examples off the top of my head: 1. Instantaneous stock transactions from anywhere in the world. (quantum communication/entanglement) Offers a substantial RTT improvement on current trading systems.

2. High frequency trading based on quantum prediction algorithms. (Quantum information theory) May provide for HFT algorithms capable of producing predictions based on an exponential number of information streams. E.g. imagine making future investment decisions based on _all_ trades that happen in a span of time.

@ me if you decide make a company to do either of these things.

Entanglement doesn't allow communication.

...???

I'd have to say that the blockchain would just go quantum too. NBD
Don't need quantum fintech for that, "blockchain fintech" is already rubbish.
We can expect a flood of quantum fintech machine learning PhDs in couple of years.
I think you accidentally missed the word "blockchain" somewhere.
