Rama K. Luluwalia, former Senior Counsel at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), warned that frequent security breaches are driving talent away from crypto and toward AI. "Is crypto stronger for all the hacks that we see every three months? No, the talent moves out of the system. The talent's moving to AI," Luluwalia said, arguing that the industry's recurring exploits undermine its ability to retain skilled developers.
