Treasury to share cyber intel

The U.S. Department of the Treasury on April 9, 2026 said it will begin providing eligible U.S. digital-asset firms with timely, actionable cybersecurity threat intelligence. (executivegov.com) The program will be run by the Treasury’s Office of Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection, and Treasury officials said access will be offered at no cost to qualifying U.S.-based firms and industry organizations. (executivegov.com) “Cyber threats targeting digital asset platforms are growing in frequency and sophistication,” Cory Wilson, deputy assistant secretary for cybersecurity at Treasury, said in the announcement. (nextgov.com) The move follows a wave of high-profile attacks this spring, including the April 1, 2026 exploit that drained about $285 million from the Solana-based protocol Drift, and an FBI Internet Crime Report showing roughly $11.4 billion in U.S. crypto-related losses in 2025. (chainalysis.com) Treasury framed the initiative as sector-specific cooperation — extending the same threat-sharing channels used for banks to digital-asset firms — and linked it to recommendations from the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets and recent stability legislation. (executivegov.com) Treasury said interested organizations must coordinate with OCCIP to determine eligibility, and that the information will be delivered through secure channels with handling restrictions. (executivegov.com) Some industry voices welcomed the step: Cody Carbone, chief executive of The Digital Chamber, called it a “huge move” on social media, while other reporters and analysts noted Treasury has not yet published detailed eligibility or handling criteria.
