CertiK Attends DC Blockchain Summit: Focusing on Crypto Security and Regulatory Collaboration, Warning of Cross-Chain Bridge and Supply Chain Attack Risks

Crypto World News: Web3 security firm CertiK attended the U.S. DC Blockchain Summit, where Chief Brand Officer Jason Jiang participated in a panel discussion on crypto infrastructure security and industry regulation. Combining data from CertiK’s “2025 Skynet Hack3D Report,” Jiang pointed out that smart contract vulnerabilities remain the biggest attack surface, and cross-chain bridges, due to highly concentrated liquidity, have become the preferred high-value targets for hackers. “In 2025, supply chain attacks caused the most damage, with just two incidents resulting in over $1.45 billion in losses; 240 phishing attacks were the most frequent type of attack last year.” He also warned that the complex verification mechanisms of cross-chain bridges and inconsistent security standards within the industry are key hidden risks threatening the stability of the crypto ecosystem. Regarding incident response, Jiang emphasized that regulatory frameworks should focus on supporting responsible vulnerability disclosures, security research, and cross-industry collaboration, rather than delaying response efficiency. During the summit, Jiang also engaged with several U.S. lawmakers to discuss the future development of market structure, how traditional banks can adapt to new crypto paradigms, and ways to strengthen consumer protection and combat scams, with a focus on the collaboration between technology service providers and law enforcement in fraud prevention, crime fighting, and safeguarding consumer rights.
