Crypto industry split over AI-driven encryption break scenario

The crypto industry is divided over a warning by Ethereum researcher Justin Drake (저스틴 드레이크) that AI could undermine cryptocurrency security. Drake said the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm, or ECDSA, could be cracked before “q-day,” and even without quantum computers, through advances in mathematics. He urged users to move funds gradually to new addresses that do not reveal public keys. Coinbase’s Yehuda Lindell rejected the claim as baseless, while Dragonfly’s Haseeb Qureshi backed it.
