ARK Invest's Head of Digital Asset Research, Lorenzo Valente, stated that since 2017, the cryptocurrency industry has lost approximately $26.9 billion due to hacking attacks, while the total on-chain revenue during the same period was about $47 billion, which means that for every $1 of on-chain revenue generated, assets worth about $0.57 were stolen.Among these, Binance was hacked for as much as $6.36 billion, even exceeding the entire on-chain revenue of the cryptocurrency industry so far in 2026. Valente believes that security issues have become a key bottleneck restricting the development of the cryptocurrency industry.

According to Bloomberg, the cryptocurrency industry's efforts to rewrite the way stock trading works are accelerating amid widespread opposition.Represented by the tokenized stock platform in collaboration between OKX and the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, these products plan to allow stocks of U.S. listed companies to be traded in token form and extend trading hours. Robinhood has expressed support for its stocks to be listed on this platform, while companies like Apple and Meta have publicly opposed it, citing unauthorized reasons, and the number of publicly opposing listed companies has continued to increase since the end of October.The controversy centers on three points: whether tokens are issued by a third party or authorized by the issuer, who maintains the shareholder register, and whether the token price will decouple from the underlying stock. Supporters believe this can lower the barriers to cross-border trading and extend trading hours to all day; opponents worry that investors may mistakenly view tokens as products endorsed by the company and question whether shareholder rights will be diluted.

According to Bloomberg, over the past two years, the cryptocurrency industry has enjoyed a rare political advantage in Washington: the U.S. President has prioritized digital assets as a national priority, regulators have paved the way for it, and the Republican-controlled Congress has been sympathetic to its agenda. With the Democratic Party's significant victory in the midterm elections and control of Congress, the cryptocurrency industry is facing stricter rules and closer scrutiny of Trump's cryptocurrency business, and its political advantage is waning.The Democratic Party has indicated plans to impose stricter ethical constraints, stronger consumer protections, and to give the SEC a greater role in regulating digital assets. Cryptocurrency critics Maxine Waters and Elizabeth Warren are expected to wield greater influence in the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee, respectively. However, many of the cryptocurrency industry's achievements are difficult to reverse, such as the stablecoin bill which requires new legislation to be repealed.
