According to The Block, in his first public interview since the Binance hack, Changpeng Zhao said artificial intelligence is accelerating cyberattacks in the cryptocurrency sector and called for industry‑wide collaboration on security measures.
Zhao noted that recent developments have shown attackers increasingly rely on AI tools to discover vulnerabilities, automate exploitation, and evade detection. He emphasized that the pace of these tactics poses growing risks to exchanges, wallets, and related service providers.
He proposed forming a security alliance among major players—including exchanges, protocol developers, auditors, and infrastructure providers—to share threat intelligence, conduct coordinated audits, and establish common standards for AI‑driven defense practices. The goal, Zhao said, is to improve resilience across the ecosystem.
The comment marks his first formal discussion on security since the Binance hack occurred, underscoring renewed focus on collective action rather than individual mitigation alone.
