Binance founder CZ warns of increasing AI attacks on the crypto industry

Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, speaking on the "Talking Tokens" podcast, addressed for the first time the roughly ¥1 trillion (about $7 billion) hacking incident that occurred on October 29. He warned that AI-driven attacks on the crypto industry are increasing and called for the formation of an industry-wide security coalition. The remarks matter because they signal that even the largest exchange founders see coordinated defense as necessary amid escalating exploits. What to watch next is whether major exchanges and protocols commit to a shared security alliance and how quickly AI-based threat detection is adopted across the sector.
