Securing digital assets against future threats

AI-enabled fraud and quantum computing are reshaping the security landscape for digital assets. AI-powered scams accounted for roughly 60% of crypto wallet inflows to scammers in 2025, with tactics like deepfake impersonation and AI-generated malicious wallet extensions. Quantum computing, while not yet practical, poses a future threat through 'harvest now, decrypt later' attacks, making adoption of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms urgent. Cryptocurrency providers need to innovate in both security and user experience, including hardware wallets with clear transaction signing and post-quantum-ready devices. The EU and US are already moving toward requiring quantum-resistant crypto by 2035.
