    What the Hack? Crypto’s Trust Issue

    In this episode of Blockbusters, Itai Elizur sits down with Mikhail Yorgenjeev from CertiK for a grounded conversation on how security is shaping trust, adoption, and credibility in Web3. As crypto moves closer to mainstream use, the discussion explores why fewer attacks are now causing larger losses, how phishing and user behavior have overtaken code exploits as the biggest threat, and why security can no longer be treated as a one-time audit. Itai and Mikhail unpack how founders, users, and institutions think about risk today — and what it will take for on-chain assets to feel as reliable as traditional financial systems. Tune in as they break down the balance between decentralization and protection, the shift toward continuous security monitoring, and the narratives that will define trust in crypto heading into 2026. 🔥 Key Takeaways: Why crypto hacks are becoming fewer but far more costly The real risks behind self-custody and human error Why security must be ongoing, not reactive How enterprises and institutions evaluate Web3 risk What needs to change for mass adoption to accelerate 👀 Stay tuned for upcoming episodes of Blockbusters, where we break down the narratives shaping Web3 from the inside. 🎥 Watch full episode now on ⁠YouTube⁠ 📲 Follow MarketAcross on socials: ⁠LinkedIn⁠ ⁠X⁠ ⁠Official Website⁠ Stay tuned for upcoming episodes of Blockbusters 🟪
