Crypto firms, including Coinbase and Block, just demanded early access to top AI models for security research.

The ask is simple: crypto's trillion-dollar stack is vulnerable. Attackers use the best AI to find flaws; defenders can't. This asymmetry leaves open-source security a step behind.

This isn't a future problem. It's a gaping security hole now. The Bitcoin Security Consortium committed $15M to long-term security last month, but this letter targets immediate vulnerabilities. The industry sees AI as an urgent threat.
