最新报道：According to CoinWorld, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a surge in adoption, with assets reaching all-time highs. Furthermore, stablecoins have become a cornerstone of this expansion and have proven to be a pillar of the real-world economy. However, CoinFund President Christopher Perkins warned that "security" remains the biggest risk to the stablecoin market's upward momentum. In an exclusive interview with BeInCrypto, Perkins advocated for a "new privateer initiative," discussing how this approach could be the best defense against the next billion-dollar breach. Stablecoins are growing—but are hackers winning the race? Stablecoins, assets pegged to fiat currencies, have performed well recently, and for good reason. Adoption is driven by several key factors, including efficiency, demand from unstable economies, increased adoption of TradFi, clearer regulatory frameworks, and cost and transparency advantages. BeInCrypto recently reported that the number of wallets holding stablecoins has officially surpassed that holding Solana (SOL), highlighting their growing dominance. Notably, many expect the stablecoin market to continue expanding. The US Treasury Department predicts that the total market value could reach $2 trillion by 2028. Meanwhile, Citigroup predicts that this figure could reach $3.7 trillion by 2030. Despite this optimistic outlook, Christopher Perkins warned of security risks, and not just for stablecoins. Perkins noted that the nearly $4 trillion cryptocurrency market faces similar challenges. Therefore, as more value moves on-chain, strengthening security measures will become increasingly important. Perkins noted that stablecoins compliant with the GENIUS Act have built-in "freeze and seize" capabilities. This allows authorities to seize reserves and destroy tokens in the event of illegality. However, he stated that due process takes time, while hackers act much faster. Furthermore, the executive emphasized that blockchain provides excellent forensics in the event of a hack, helping to track illegal activity. However, Perkins noted that sophisticated, often state-sponsored, hackers are constantly developing new technologies, which will become even more powerful as AI and deepfake technology become more advanced. Is the private sector the answer to the cryptocurrency security crisis? Perkins believes so. So, what is the new privateering? Perkins, who co-authored an article on the concept with Chris Giancarlo, senior counsel at Willkie Farr & Gallagher and former CFTC Chairman, elaborated that it involves empowering agile startups and decentralized teams involved in building cryptocurrency infrastructure to quickly target and seize adversaries' assets or property. Perkins believes these teams are crucial to advancing cryptocurrency adoption and protecting national security. The CoinFund president advocates for a return to a "privateer mentality," where the private sector plays an active role in protecting and expanding the cryptocurrency space. The new privateering: A cost-effective solution to cryptocurrency security. The executive also emphasized that it is costly and challenging for governments to recruit and retain talent capable of competing with well-funded, state-backed entities. Therefore, the new privateering addresses this issue. While all of this sounds beneficial, privateering also raises ethical questions. Perkins emphasized that privateers historically were required to post a bond. This bond could be forfeited if they violated their authorization. A modern version of this approach could involve privateers "staking" assets to ensure accountability. Blockchain technology provides a clear, traceable record of activity, making it easier to monitor privateers and ensure they are acting in accordance with any issued letters of marquee.
