Payward Joins Anthropic’s Glasswing to Strengthen AI Security
Kraken parent Payward joins Anthropic’s Project Glasswing for AI security push
Payward, the parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, has joined Project Glasswing, a security-focused initiative led by AI company Anthropic.
The move links a major crypto infrastructure firm with a program centered on improving how organizations defend against emerging security risks tied to advanced AI systems.
Project Glasswing is positioned as an effort to strengthen security practices and coordination around AI-related threats. By participating, Payward is aligning itself with a broader group of organizations working on safeguards as AI tools become more capable and more widely deployed.
For the crypto industry, the announcement matters because exchanges and trading platforms are frequent targets for cybercrime and fraud. As AI becomes more accessible, security teams are increasingly factoring in AI-enabled techniques—such as more convincing social engineering and faster vulnerability discovery—into their risk models.
Payward’s involvement also reflects a wider trend of crypto companies engaging with mainstream technology and security initiatives, particularly in areas that sit outside of market activity but directly affect platform resilience and user protection.
