Cointelegraph reported that as AI developers restrict access to high-performance AI models to prevent their misuse in cyberattacks, most cryptocurrency companies face a security gap, unable to acquire the latest defensive tools. While some entities, such as Coinbase and Zcash ecosystem's Shielded Labs, have secured access to Anthropic's Mythos and conducted security audits, many large cryptocurrency companies, including Binance, still lack access. Security experts in the cryptocurrency industry argue that defenders must also acquire advanced AI models to counter the increasing sophistication of attackers' techniques. Recently, damages related to vulnerability attacks, suspected to be utilizing AI, are increasing, with non-custodial Bitcoin swap platform Boltz and cryptocurrency cold card wallet manufacturer Coinkite among the victims.
