Policy Implications from the Rise of State-Sponsored Crypto Crime

Supporting Japan FinTech Week has become a Fireblocks tradition. This March, we, as many in the ecosystem, chose to re-contextualize planned contributions and engagements as the week-long Tokyo event was the first significant global gathering of both regulators and industry after the Bybit hack.

Fireblocks' New Developer APIs: Build on Blockchain Without Complexity

Blockchain innovation is accelerating, offering new opportunities for developers to create secure applications. However, integrating blockchain infrastructure is getting increasingly complex. With more fragmentation, developers often have to juggle multiple tools, workarounds, and technical intricacies to manage network data, retrieve asset properties, and execute transactions effectively. This slows down innovation, increases operational overhead, and diverts focus from building great products.

How Crypto Companies Can Break the Breach Cycle

In February of 2025, North Korean state-backed cybercriminals stole over $1.9 billion from a popular crypto exchange. That's a mind-boggling amount of money, let alone from a breach. But here's the craziest part; it was excruciatingly simple. In short, it went down like this: an engineer was phished, attackers located static API keys — and just like that, attackers had direct access to critical cloud resources. Static credentials strike again.

What is The Best Crypto Coding Language?

The short answer to the query is that it depends. While this might not be the most popular answer, it's the most accurate. The best programming language for crypto will depend on what you're trying to build. If you're working on some performance-heavy blockchain projects, Rust is (most likely) your best bet, but if you're, for example, developing smart contracts for the Ethereum blockchain, then Solidity will be the go-to choice. There's really no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to this topic.

Disaster Recovery Services: A New Standard for Digital Asset Security

It’s common for many organizations to postpone establishing a robust Disaster Recovery Program until after their product is already in the market. While development and operational builds are critical for launching an outstanding product, disaster recovery planning often gets sidelined. However, it’s increasingly important for institutions to prioritize the safekeeping of private key materials, which are crucial for accessing and managing digital assets.

Leveraging Advanced Technology to Secure the Online Gaming Industry

The online gaming industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by rapid technological advancements and an increasing number of users engaging across multiple platforms. With growth, however, comes increased attention from cyber threats. Ensuring robust security measures and optimal performance has never been more critical for iGaming operators.

What's Next for Banks Entering Crypto? Navigating The Risks

The evolving regulatory landscape surrounding digital assets presents a host of challenges for banks looking to enter the crypto space. While recent decisions have helped clear a path for banks to engage in crypto-assets and related activities, the regulatory environment remains fragmented, with federal and state authorities offering varying levels of clarity and approval processes.

Security First Approach to EIP-7702

EIP-7702 comes with a lot of promise for better UX, better onboarding, retail adoption, cheaper wallet operations and many more great features. The hype is real and is justified. However, it does come with a tradeoff between new capabilities and risk. The recent ByBit hack showed the consequences of inadvertently delegating control to a malicious actor.

The Rise of Peer-to-Peer Crypto Exchanges

In the ever-evolving world of digital currencies, the way people trade and exchange cryptocurrencies is constantly changing. Among the various methods available, peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto exchanges are increasingly gaining traction. But what's behind this rising popularity, and what does it mean for the future of crypto trading?
