    @CosmicDude3000 @coinbase @Official_Upbit Fiat currencies, unlike stablecoins, cannot be moved on a blockchain. Additionally, stablecoins have a specific issuer, whereas the Korean Won (KRW) is issued by the central bank. KRW deposits held in Upbit are stored on Kbank, not Hana. If Hana were to replace KRW, Hana would potentially own a significant portion of their stablecoins, amounting to several billion dollars. However, it’s uncertain whether Upbit will utilize Hana’s stablecoin as a quote currency for their stablecoin initiative. While stablecoins may not generate yields like KRW, K-stablecoins might not produce yields from treasury bonds like Tether and Circle. Nevertheless, they are required to issue these stablecoins due to legal mandates. Consequently, they must find a venue to distribute and utilize them, as they have a responsibility to do something with these stablecoins.

    Coinbase is trying to rework this model and keep the user inside the Coinbase ecosystem and own more of their financial activity. Stablecoins are their mass adoption play, Coinbase One is their subscription service play and Base is their onchain play.

    ICP stayed under pressure after Coinbase removed multiple ICP trading pairs, reducing immediate trading access and weighing on short-term sentiment. Decline followed heavy profit-taking after token’s earlier AI-driven rally tied to DFINITY’s sovereign cloud infrastructure push.

    My @coinbase account was just stolen 🤯 I received a call from a Saudi Arabian number (I’m in the UAE) from Coinbase support, asking me to confirm a phone number change. Of course I thought it was a scam and didn’t press anything. When I tried to log in, a different phone number was already linked to my account. I’ve already reached out to their support. Luckily, all my funds had been withdrawn a long time ago - but it’s still unpleasant. I’m shocked that this is even possible on a CEX. Never experienced anything like this in 5 years in crypto.

    Anyone use the DEX feature on Coinbase? I sent USDC to my Base wallet that I use for DEX trading on Coinbase but the balance won’t show up in the Coinbase app. Support is elevating the issue.

    @KarmaCpu How is it wasting money? It’s trading a non-perishable commodity (Sats) for a hyper-perishable commodity (Hash) to support rules and standards/promote the monetary quality of Bitcoin + get some % of clean non-KYC Sats from the coinbase transaction on the back end.

    Morgan Stanley is going into crypto. This makes Coinbase, Robinhood, and Charles Schwab having a big problem. Morgan Stanley has launched crypto trading on its E*Trade platform at 0.50% per transaction - some of the lowest fees in the industry- undercutting Coinbase, Robinhood, and Charles Schwab. The pilot is live for a limited group of users, with access expected for all 8.6 million ETrade clients later in 2026. E*Trade clients will be able to trade #Bitcoin, #Ethereum, and #Solana directly from their brokerage account, through a partnership with zerohash handling liquidity, custody, and settlement. So Morgan Stanley is offering digital and traditional assets in the same dashboard - not in separate apps. E*Trade gives Morgan Stanley a distribution channel few crypto-native exchanges can match: roughly 16,000 in-house advisors overseeing about $9.3 trillion in client assets. This is another strong sign that Wall Street big names are aggressively expanding into digital assets. The question is no longer whether to enter crypto. It is how fast.

    The winner of the Coinbase vs Hyperliuqid deal depends on the end state of stablecoin market structure. It all comes down to whether there are many or very few stablecoins. In the world of many stablecoins, there are thousands of issuers (banks, payment providers, etc...). Interop solutions are very important and end up extracting the majority of the value. Issuers compete in a fragmented, highly competitive market, and keep almost none of their NIM. In the world of many stablecoins, interop layers are the big winners and it sucks to be an issuer. There's another world where there are very few stablecoins. In this world, interop isn't necessary (90% of activity is concentrated around only a few coins). These issuers pay out a large amount of yield, but they make up for it in volume. Over time, once they have dominant market share, they can slowly reduce the amount of reserve yield they pay out. In this world, it's good to be an issuer (if you're one of the big ones), and interop is largely useless. Folks who have paid attention to crypto over the last ten years may see some parallels, especially if you spent time in Cosmos. Personally, I think everyone is underestimating the network effects at the asset level for USDC and USDT. Becoming an issuer is difficult, and if you could get 90% of the NIM for 0% of the work, I find it hard to believe most venues won't choose that route. I would take the breathless takes on CT with a heaping tablespoon of salt, and wouldn't write off Coinbase or Circle's stablecoin businesses just yet.

    @TedPillows Coinbase Premium deeply negative = US spot sellers leading the move. Adds to the distribution thesis we've been tracking all week. spot CVD trending down, asks dominating, for now this looks more like distribution at the current levels.

  • PierreSamaties
    Pierre (@PierreSamaties) reported

    The @coinbase ICP-USDT delisting is a non-event for liquidity! ICP’s primary trading pair on Coinbase is and remains USDC, nothing changes there. What’s disappointing is the complete lack of advance communication. A simple heads-up would have allowed us to help clarify this to the community and prevent unnecessary FUD during an already volatile market. Exchanges should do better than 24-hour public notice for operational changes that can shake trader confidence, even when the actual impact is minimal. Back to business.

    @eliz883 Exactly the right read. Buy delta losing support while asks dominate = absorption at resistance, not accumulation. Coinbase spot selling confirmed it. Distribution was happening the entire rally. No position is sometimes the best position when the data is mixed.

    GM Brothers and Sisters ✅Bitcoin Trading at a Discount on Coinbase Over the past week, Coinbase’s BTC/USD has been trading at approximately a 0.03% discount compared to BTC/USDT on major exchanges like Binance, OKX, and Bybit. Many traders worry this indicates weak institutional buying, but the article argues this is a misinterpretation. ✅The Discount Is Mainly Caused by Stablecoin Fluctuations, Not Institutional Selling Stablecoins have weakened slightly against the USD due to large capital outflows from crypto back into fiat. When measured in RMB, stablecoins are currently trading at a 0.6% discount to the official exchange rate. This creates the illusion of a discount on USD-based Coinbase, rather than reflecting genuine weakness in institutional demand. ✅Institutional and Market Data Remain Largely Positive MicroStrategy continues to buy heavily — acquiring 51,364 BTC over the past three weeks. Coinbase has seen only modest net Bitcoin inflows of about $58 million per day on average, with no signs of panic selling. U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have recorded $1.26 billion in net outflows since May 7, which partly explains the inflow pressure on Coinbase, but the overall market remains stable. ✅Price Action and Outlook Bitcoin has successfully defended the $79,000 support level, showing strong market resilience. The article believes the probability of retesting $76,000 in the short term is low — price differences between exchanges are not enough to drive the trend. Overall assessment: This discount is primarily a technical/stablecoin-driven phenomenon, not a bearish signal. ---------------- Plan accordingly & Choose wisely ✨May your life radiant with Bitcoin✨

    @owenbjennings @CashApp 🤔 I believe Brian is talking the everything exchange .. zero fees on everything (they still have gaps, stock options being one). Cash App is solely Bitcoin and Equities .. it's a completely different customer. I.e. if I lived in America I would use Coinbase and Robinhood for trading and investing .. the only product on cash app that would be useful would be neighborhoods and any future commerce products. I absolutely DON'T suggest you guys try and compete in the ridiculously competitive invest/trading segment .. you absolutely SHOULD be doubling down, quadrupling down on commerce. Jack is onto it regarding AI .. you guys can be an AI company .. and the richest AI use cases are in commerce.

    @CosmicDude3000 @coinbase @Official_Upbit 1. Not scalable if they can’t move on chain. Will they freely move to public chains like ETH? Not sure. But at least stablecoin itself is programmable. You know this.. 2. This part, they can still generate ‘some’ sort of revenue because they somewhat will deposit fiat to their bank to issue stablecoin(Kbank -> Hana) if their stablecoin will be used a quote currency. (Revenue might come from, idk, fees ) but more importantly if every bank issues stablecoin, it is always better to have some sort of dominance even if Hana can make relatively small revenues. Also, you should not ask “so will they make money out of this?” This is not the right question to ask. They have to issue stablecoin because gov says so. Then, they should do it. How simple is this. 3. Read the bill. Although it is not fully finalized yet, it is likely that banks are gonna be the main stablecoin issuers. 50% + 1 rule.
