Phemex Celebrates Six Years of Innovation at LONGITUDE

On December 11, 2025, Phemex marked its sixth anniversary by co-hosting the seventh edition of LONGITUDE, a prestigious event dedicated to the future of cryptocurrency security. Held at the luxurious Rosewood Hotel in Abu Dhabi, the gathering drew prominent figures from the world of Web3, alongside institutional innovators, creating a platform for strategic discussions and networking.

As part of the Abu Dhabi Finance Week, LONGITUDE aimed to tackle current challenges in the crypto space while highlighting Phemex's commitment to enhancing user protection. The event's menu included prominent industry leaders such as Anthony Scaramucci from SkyBridge and Kristin Smith of the Solana Policy Institute, who engaged in a panel discussion titled "Solana SZN," offering insights into market trends. This session addressed critical shifts in the digital currency landscape, showcasing evolving investment strategies and technological advancements.

A pivotal moment of the evening was the panel discussion titled "The Crypto Security Dilemma." Phemex's CEO, Federico Variola, shared the stage with Ian Rogers from Ledger and Dmytro Budorin of Hacken to discuss pressing security issues facing the sector. During the discussion, Federico voiced his concerns regarding the industry’s outdated standard reactive security model in the face of modern AI-driven threats. He advocated for a shift towards a predictive security architecture, emphasizing how Phemex employs AI to analyze user behavior patterns to mitigate potential threats proactively.

"Our approach to security is transforming," stated Federico. "We're not simply reacting to incidents; we're working to foresee and prevent them before they even arise." He went on to unveil Phemex's strategic roadmap, which features a new account abstraction wallet designed to connect the traditional Web2 environment with Web3. This development aims to provide users with a seamless experience while enhancing security across different transaction models.

"In our journey into the seventh year, we are committed to redefining user protection," declared Federico. He underscored the importance of fostering high-level dialogues and partnerships among policymakers and industry leaders, positioning Phemex at the forefront of the crypto sector as it strives towards building a secure, transparent, and unified future for digital assets.
