DPRK Spies, Quantum Risk, and the 401(k) Play

In this episode of Galaxy Grid, the hosts unpack a volatile first quarter for crypto markets before diving into the shocking $285 million exploit of Solana's Drift Protocol, which was orchestrated through a sophisticated, months-long social engineering attack by suspected DPRK actors. The crew also explores the looming threat of "Q-Day," discussing recent research that suggests quantum computers could break blockchain cryptography sooner than expected and how developers are preparing their defenses. Finally, they break down a new Department of Labor proposal that provides a safe harbor framework for fiduciaries, potentially opening the floodgates for trillions in 401(k) retirement assets to flow into the crypto space.
