Asian crypto exchanges tighten security amid surge in AI-assisted hacks

The timing is the story here: security hardening is arriving just as regional governments lean into tokenization and stablecoins, so trust in venue-level safeguards now sits directly in the path of institutional adoption. This affects exchanges and their users more than token issuers, since the reported attacks target trading platforms rather than the assets themselves. Whether AI-assisted intrusion attempts keep scaling faster than defensive tooling is the open question, and it will shape how much of the policy-driven tokenization push lands on regulated platforms versus elsewhere.
