KEY TAKEAWAYS
Different tech stack, different threats — endpoint AV won’t protect a multi-sig.
Seconds matter — Hypernative flags 99 percent of attacks minutes ahead of the exploit.
Operational risk now outweighs code risk — cloud misconfigs and compromised laptops topple well-audited protocols.
Fraud is the next frontier — stable-coin issuers need proactive actor-classification, not just compliance blacklists.
Institutional bar is rising — real-time monitoring and automated policy enforcement are becoming investor requirements.
