Unfortunately the work being done on post quantum cryptography is mostly on the topic of symmetric key agreement (since that is what TLS needs), and cryptocurrencies need digital signature and/ zero knowledge proof systems. There is comparably much less work being done on solving those problems.

Er TLS also needs signatures, and there’s a ton of work on PQ signatures

The NIST post quantum competition is for a replacement to diffie Hellman key agreement only. TLS doesn’t need signatures for that.
