After Binance's $6.3 billion hack, Austin Campbell called for a mandatory 24-hour delay on billion-dollar crypto transfers to introduce financial risk controls similar to traditional markets. Binance has reimbursed around 98% of the lost funds and implemented internal security improvements but did not adopt withdrawal delays or timelocks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3 and Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new expectation to build financial risk controls like timed transfer delays in crypto platforms. Adding this feature now could give you a security edge over exchanges that still lack such protections.
