Security company Kerberus acquires Power Universe, strengthening the protective net for crypto wallets

Blockchain security company Kerberus acquires Power Universe, moving on-chain security from post-remediation to proactive prevention. (Background: Stop pretending that self-custody of Bitcoin is simple; it is not) (Additional context: Bernstein: The Bitcoin bull market is not over, looking up to '200,000 USD', analysts confirm: 100,000 USD is the iron bottom for this cycle) Blockchain security company Kerberus announced the acquisition of the anti-fraud browser extension Power Universe, integrating enterprise-level on-chain monitoring with client-side real-time alerts, adding a 'pre-transaction' insurance threshold for wallet users. Pre-transaction alerts, moving the defense line forward According to (The Block) report, Kerberus excels in on-chain data analysis, AI risk modeling, and anti-money laundering detection, capable of capturing suspicious flows; Power Universe focuses on user-side scenarios, prompting warning pages to compare contracts, URLs, and authorization content when users prepare to sign transactions through wallets like MetaMask, with plans to expand to Ethereum and Solana. Data from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) indicates that annual losses from crypto fraud remain high, with common tactics including disguised trading interfaces, fake tokens, and airdrop traps. Users are no longer satisfied with the single protection built into wallets and are seeking more proactive, layered security mechanisms. Capital and technology integration Kerberus's acquisition reflects a new trend in the security industry: preventive tools and infrastructure must be packaged into a one-stop solution to keep up with the pace of multi-chain ecosystem development. However, challenges remain severe, as technical compatibility and UI/UX balance test developers, and the ever-evolving fraud tactics require faster product update rhythms. Moreover, no matter how advanced the tools are, they must be accompanied by user education; otherwise, warning messages are likely to be closed with the 'next step' button in seconds. Although the offense-defense game has no endpoint, the defense line continues to advance due to such alliances. Related reports: Will the market rise after the Fed's rate cut in September?
