From the source
Speaking at Consensus Miami 2026 , the longtime cryptographer and early Bitcoin contributor argued that the Bitcoin blockchain s comparatively simple architecture is increasingly separating it from more experimental blockchain ecosystems that have suffered repeated smart-contract failures and security breaches.

Back said institutional investors have become significantly more sophisticated in understanding crypto risk, particularly after a string of DeFi exploits this year.
