AI systems drive crypto fraud while the industry relies on outdated postmortems. Real-time transaction defense must become infrastructure. Opinion by: Danor Cohen, co-founder and chief technology officer of Kerberus In 2025, crypto risk is a torrent. AI is turbocharging scams.

While transaction settlement times have been significantly decreased, they still vary substantially depending on the blockchain used.  Read more
