At the same time, the industry should establish real-time security incident reporting, joint monitoring of suspicious funds, and rapid response mechanisms, and promote collaborative research in areas such as post-quantum cryptography and AI security threat defense. He emphasized that no single company can safeguard the future of the cryptocurrency industry alone.
