    Phill Moran, and co-host Dalton sit down with Gal Sagie—co-founder and CEO of Hypernative—to unpack how real-time threat intelligence is reshaping crypto security. From North-Korean bridge hacks to stable-coin fraud, we explore why legacy cybersecurity controls fall short and what institutions need before moving serious capital on-chain.

    TIMESTAMPS
    00:00 Intro – why blockchains are not automatically secure
    01:40 Wallets, MPC, and access-control basics
    05:25 The 1.5 B USD Bybit cloud breach autopsy
    08:30 Detecting exploits before they fire (99 percent hit-rate)
    12:45 “Safe-room” withdrawals and automated incident response
    14:40 Bridges, lending protocols, and the riskiest DeFi rails
    18:30 Founder-laptop hacks and the human weak link
    22:55 Investor due diligence: security as a must-have
    28:05 Stable-coin fraud and compliance gaps
    34:00 Bitcoin treasuries, tokenization, and AI-agent payments
    38:45 How Hypernative will deploy its 40 M USD Series A
    47:50 Regulation, innovation, and why it’s a great time to build

    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    Different tech stack, different threats — endpoint AV won’t protect a multi-sig.

    Seconds matter — Hypernative flags 99 percent of attacks minutes ahead of the exploit.

    Operational risk now outweighs code risk — cloud misconfigs and compromised laptops topple well-audited protocols.

    Fraud is the next frontier — stable-coin issuers need proactive actor-classification, not just compliance blacklists.

    Institutional bar is rising — real-time monitoring and automated policy enforcement are becoming investor requirements.
