Cryptocurrency Security Guidelines - Core Principles for Protecting Digital Assets

In June 2025, as cryptocurrency became more widespread, security threats have also escalated. Experts recommend that users adhere to the following core principles:

Private Key Management: Never screenshot or store private keys or seed phrases in the cloud; it is recommended to use a metal seed phrase backup stored offline, and follow the '3-2-1 backup rule'.

Transaction Protection: Enable hardware wallets (such as Ledger) and multi-factor authentication (2FA), be cautious of phishing links, and test with small amounts during the first transfer.

Platform Selection: Only use compliant exchanges, avoid operating on public Wi-Fi, and regularly check wallet permissions (such as Revoke.cash).

Social Engineering Defense: Treat any requests for private keys as scams, and verify the identity of contacts through multiple channels.

Recently, institutions like BlackRock have entered the stablecoin space, and the regulatory framework is gradually improving, but users still need to proactively enhance their security awareness.
