Phemex Co-hosts LONGITUDE, Highlighting the Next Era of Cryptocurrency Security
On December 11, 2025, Phemex, a user-centered cryptocurrency exchange platform, successfully co-hosted the seventh edition of LONGITUDE alongside Cointelegraph at the luxurious Rosewood Hotel in Abu Dhabi. This event coincided with Abu Dhabi's Finance Week and provided a unique space for Web3 leaders and institutional innovators to engage in high-level strategic conversations, commemorating Phemex's sixth anniversary.
Industry Leaders Share Insights
The exclusive agenda featured prominent figures from the industry, including Anthony Scaramucci from SkyBridge and Kristin Smith of the Solana Policy Institute. They provided valuable insights into market trends during a panel entitled "Solana SZN". Meanwhile, Eli Ben-Sasson from StarkWare delivered an informal talk that emphasized the crucial role of privacy in the ongoing evolution of the blockchain space.
One of the standout panels of the evening, named "The Cryptocurrency Security Dilemma," included Phemex's CEO, Federico Variola, who was joined by Ian Rogers of Ledger and Dmytro Budorin from Hacken. They focused on the most pressing security challenges facing the cryptocurrency sector today. Federico voiced a critical perspective, stating that the industry's standard "reactive" security model is becoming obsolete amidst the modern-day threats posed by artificial intelligence. He made a compelling case for transitioning toward a "Predictive Security Architecture," unveiling how Phemex employs AI to analyze user behavior patterns, effectively neutralizing potential threats before they can cause harm.
Phemex's Strategic Vision
During his speech, Federico laid out Phemex's strategic roadmap, unveiling plans for the incubation of a new account abstraction wallet designed to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3. "In addition to enhancing our infrastructure with predictive AI, we are fundamentally evolving our platform," he remarked. "We are building a holistic ecosystem that integrates a CEX, a DEX, and a self-custodial wallet where security acts as the cornerstone that enables users to transition seamlessly between custodial models."
As Phemex embarks on its seventh year, the event served not only as a celebration but also as a clear demonstration of the exchange's dedication to redefining user protection in the crypto space. By fostering high-level dialogue and collaboration among decision-makers, Phemex continues to lead the charge in forging a transparent, secure, and unified future for digital assets.
