Another major crypto exchange has fallen victim to a hack—this time, Bybit. While the full impact is still unfolding, one thing remains undeniable: storing assets in exchange wallets exposes traders to unnecessary risks. In today’s market, this risk is increasingly unnecessary and manageable, particularly with solutions like off exchange settlement.

As someone who has spent decades working at the intersection of cybersecurity, innovation, and operational resilience, I’ve seen firsthand how critical it is to build trust in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. At Fireblocks, that trust is not just a goal—it’s a standard we continuously push ourselves to meet and exceed.

With the dynamic start of the new US Presidential Administration, on the heels of our global annual kick-off, and with colleagues across our offices starting Lunar New Year celebrations last week, it’s a good time for Fireblocks to share our outlook on digital assets policy for the rest of the year.
