Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong flips the AI security narrative:

AI = defender's edge, not attacker's weapon.

Why? It can audit massive codebases before deployment. Catch exploits at scale, pre-launch.

For years everyone screamed about AI risk. Now top builders are saying the opposite—AI might actually harden infrastructure.

Bullish for crypto security long-term. Less hacks = more institutional confidence = more liquidity inflow.

If $COIN and other majors start deploying AI-native security layers, we could see a new standard across DeFi and CEX infra.

Watch how this plays out in audit tooling and smart contract deployment pipelines.
