State Street Bank: Recent DeFi attacks highlight the need for blockchain security, institutions look forward to improvements

According to CoinDesk, Angus Fletcher, head of digital assets at State Street Bank, stated at the Consensus Miami conference that in light of the recent surge in DeFi attack incidents, institutional investors are looking for improvements in blockchain security. He pointed out that the young crypto industry needs to find solutions now before trillions of dollars in real-world assets are put on-chain.

Fletcher believes that the interoperability between blockchains needs to be clearly defined and understood, and institutional clients need to understand the legal ownership and rights of cross-chain tokens. Dennis Bree, head of Morpho, stated that April could be the month with the most hacker attacks in DeFi history, and regulators are conducting more due diligence on the security of collateralized assets.
