Overview
- Treasury’s cybersecurity office opened enrollment Thursday for a free program that shares timely hacker warnings with eligible U.S. digital asset firms.
- The feed matches what banks receive and includes early alerts on active campaigns, indicators of compromise, and clear steps for exchanges, wallets, and custodians.
- The move carries out a President’s Working Group recommendation, but Treasury has not defined who qualifies or how smaller providers can take part.
- The rollout follows fresh attacks on crypto platforms, including a $280 million theft tied to North Korea at Drift and security measures pursued by the Solana Foundation.
- Treasury also linked the effort to upcoming rules, pointing to a FinCEN and OFAC proposal that outlines GENIUS Act duties for payment stablecoin issuers.
