US Treasury Launches Cybersecurity Info Sharing Initiative for Digital Asset Firms
Department of the Treasury's Office of Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection (OCCIP) has launched a new initiative focused on strengthening cybersecurity within the digital asset industry. This program will provide eligible U.S.-based digital asset firms and industry organizations with timely, actionable cybersecurity information at no cost. The initiative is designed to help these firms identify, prevent, and respond more effectively to cyber threats, reflecting recommendations from the President's Working Group on Digital Asset Markets report. Treasury officials emphasized the growing importance of digital asset firms within the financial sector, highlighting the critical need for increased resilience to safeguard the broader financial system. According to Treasury officials, cyber threats against digital asset platforms are increasing in both frequency and sophistication. The initiative extends access to the same high-quality cybersecurity intelligence already shared with traditional financial institutions to promote a secure and responsible digital asset ecosystem. Interested and eligible firms can contact OCCIP directly via email to enroll in the program. This effort aligns with broader Treasury priorities around operational resilience, consumer protection, and maintaining stability in U.S. financial markets amid rapid digital finance innovation.
