These past two days, I saw a shocking news story—JD.com's warehouse in Paris was hit by a large-scale theft, with over 50,000 electronic items mysteriously disappearing, resulting in a direct loss of 37 million euros. The thieves were skilled, damaging surveillance and prying open locks, suggesting inside cooperation. A logistics friend put it bluntly: these goods were stolen right after being stocked, clearly targeted for a long time.

This incident made me think of the crypto space. On the surface, they seem unrelated, but in fact, they are both testing the same thing—asset security.

Physical warehouse thefts happen due to security loopholes, and digital assets are no different. Does your wallet have multi-factor authentication? Is the private key stored on cold devices? Are those seemingly secure custody solutions truly decentralized? These are all questions.

In the traditional world, insurance companies compensate for the value of lost goods, but what about lost crypto assets? No one will pay you back. So you need to be more cautious than warehouse managers. Smart contract audits, cold storage, multi-signature wallets, decentralized custody—these are not optional but essential.

Honestly, during market volatility, everyone focuses on price fluctuations, rarely thinking about checking their security measures. But that’s exactly when accidents are most likely to happen. Asset security is not a short-term topic; it’s a long-term bottom line to uphold. What are you doing about it?
