On April 9, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection (OCCIP) announced a new cybersecurity information sharing initiative designed to strengthen cybersecurity resilience across the digital asset industry. The initiative will provide eligible U.S. digital asset firms and industry organisations with timely, actionable cybersecurity information at no cost. This information will enable these entities to better identify, prevent, and respond to cyber threats targeting their customers and networks. The initiative extends access to the same high-quality cybersecurity threat information that Treasury regularly shares with traditional U.S. financial institutions, recognising the growing importance of digital asset firms to the broader financial system. Treasury officials emphasised that cyber threats targeting digital asset platforms are increasing in frequency and sophistication. The initiative responds to this evolving threat environment and advances a key recommendation from the President's Working Group on Digital Asset Markets report, *Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology*. Treasury also noted that the initiative reflects principles of the GENIUS Act by promoting responsible innovation grounded in strong cybersecurity and operational resilience. Luke Pettit, Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions, stated that digital asset firm resilience is critical to the health of the broader financial system. Tyler Williams, Counselor to the Secretary for Digital Assets, highlighted that access to timely and actionable cyber threat information is essential to protecting consumers and safeguarding the stability of U.S. financial markets as digital assets become more integrated into the financial system. Eligible U.S. digital asset firms and industry organisations meeting Treasury's criteria are encouraged to contact OCCIP at OCCIP-Coord@treasury.gov for more information on participation.
