2026 Digital Asset Security Report Highlights Paradigm Shift in Cryptocurrency Custody
The digital asset landscape in 2026 has evolved beyond simple storage solutions, with active self-custody architectures now defending against institutional-grade cyber threats. Losses from cybercrime reached $3.1 billion in the first half of 2025 alone, surpassing 2024's total and forcing a redefinition of security.
Modern protection integrates hardware isolation, multi-party computation, and decentralized identity frameworks. The concept of 'Identity at Runtime' has emerged as critical infrastructure, requiring real-time analysis to counter AI-driven attacks. This marks a fundamental shift from passive storage to dynamic defense systems.
