Vitalik Buterin says exchanges must focus on survival after Binance hack

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said crypto exchanges should prioritize surviving cyberattacks over competing for market share over the next two years, following recent security breaches at centralized platforms. The comments came in an interview with Moneycontrol and reference the Binance hack. Traders may read the warning as a signal of continued operational risk at centralized exchanges, though it is commentary rather than a market-moving event.
