Treasury Opens Federal Cyber Threat Alerts to Crypto Firms

The move brings crypto companies into the same threat‑alert network banks use.

Overview

  • Treasury said crypto firms can enroll to get the same timely, actionable cyber threat alerts sent to banks.
  • The Office of Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection will handle sign-ups and provide the service at no cost.
  • Assistant Secretary Luke Pettit said the step will help build a more secure and responsible digital‑asset ecosystem.
  • The announcement did not define which companies count as eligible, leaving enrollment criteria and scope unresolved.
  • The push follows repeated major breaches, including a $280 million theft from the Drift platform and new Solana‑related exploits often linked to state‑backed hackers.
