Global impact / market context
If many of these flaws can be exploited, Bitcoin wallets, exchanges and other infrastructure could face attacks that steal funds or disrupt services, forcing developers to spend more on security fixes and users to be cautious.
Analyst inference
Heightened security concerns can pressure Bitcoin’s price as investors weigh risk, while firms that provide security audits or hardware wallets may see increased demand for their services.
Analyst inference
