A high-profile attack on a Bitcoin wallet has reignited the debate over self-custody risks, giving fresh ammunition to supporters of spot Bitcoin ETFs.

A major Bitcoin wallet hack has crypto investigators working around the clock, according to Bloomberg, as the race to trace stolen funds intensifies.

Most cryptocurrency theft traces back to off-chain human and operational failures rather than vulnerabilities in smart contract code, according to Pluang.

An AI-detected vulnerability in Zcash's protocol triggered a roughly 50% drop in token value, raising urgent questions about the state of crypto security auditing.
