Rexha 🐸 (@RexhaRexhaRexha) reportedDeeZe explains why Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong using a similar CryptoPunk is actually bearish for his own Punk "I think it would be better if any of his friends wanted to buy my punk for more than paid for his punk. Then it would be sick if someone wanted to copy him. But I think it's actually doing the reverse." "Kind of like how Beanie had the Beanie Punk for so long, so no one wanted to buy Beanies because you're like, oh ****, you're like that guy on the timeline." "Now it's like, well, 3D hoodies might be out for a little bit because Brian is eating mushrooms and talking about how crazy it is that we got to lay down for 8 hours and eat dead bodies of other animals to sustain our own bodies so we don't die and get eaten by other animals." "I switched back to the puppet. People were actually replying to Brian thinking he was me and @-ing me and asking why ******** does he have my punk because people don't realize there's a pipe and his doesn't have a pipe." "Yeah, so we're back to the puppet for a bit. I think he'll switch eventually. I mean, if he doesn't, I probably just need to sell this thing."

Fred Velez (@Fredvelezcrypto) reportedThis is how bad crypto information spreads. “Here’s the EXACT reason Bitcoin pumped.” No. It isn’t. An Arkham inflow into a wallet labeled Coinbase does NOT mean: “Coinbase bought 6,139 BTC.” It means BTC moved into addresses associated with Coinbase. That could be: Customer deposits. Custody transfers. Internal wallet movements. Market makers. Collateral. OTC settlement. And yes, potentially trading activity. Ironically, exchange inflows are often watched as potential sell-side supply, because people move BTC onto exchanges when they want it available to trade. Then we make this jump: BTC moved → Coinbase bought it → Binance bought it → everyone coordinated → MANIPULATION. Come on. Could large buyers have helped push Bitcoin higher? Of course. But this screenshot does not prove who bought, why they moved the BTC, or that anyone coordinated anything. Bitcoin had multiple things happening at once: Strong ETF inflows. A major technical breakout. Shorts getting squeezed. Improving regulatory sentiment. Real spot demand. Markets are complicated. Onchain data is evidence. It is not a story generator. And whenever someone tells you they know the “EXACT reason” a global market moved… That should be your first clue to slow down.

svs (@SvjS2024) reported@jake_claver05 The market is focused on what crypto is worth today. I think the bigger question is: Who is positioning themselves to control what crypto becomes tomorrow? When Ripple, Coinbase, Nasdaq, ICE, regulators, and the White House are all part of the same conversation, this is no longer simply about coins going up or down. It is about infrastructure. Payment rails. Settlement. Tokenization. Custody. Liquidity. Regulation. In other words, the highway is being built. The real battle may not be over whether crypto survives. It may be over who owns the toll booths once everyone is forced to use the road. That is the story I’m watching.

BSCN (@BSCNews) reportedCoinbase Brings Hyperliquid Perps To Base as Price Hits Two-Month High Coinbase (@coinbase) has added Hyperliquid (@HyperliquidX) perpetual futures trading to its Base App. Eligible users can now access more than 290 perpetual markets through the app. The available markets include crypto, equities, and commodity-related contracts. Trades are executed through Hyperliquid, with leverage reaching up to 50 times. Coinbase says perpetual futures represent roughly 75% of current crypto trading volume. The feature is unavailable in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and other restricted jurisdictions. hyperliquid:native has surged 23% over the last 24 hours to $72, a two-month high.

TomOnTech (@TomOnTech) reportedAI AGENTIC PAYMENTS: The Middle Layer May Capture the Most Value AI agents are beginning to purchase data, software, computing power and services without a person initiating each transaction. Over time, agents could conduct more transactions than people, with many payments worth only a few cents or fractions of a cent. This does not necessarily mean payment processors will collect large fees. Coinbase reported more than 165 million x402 transactions but only about $50 million in cumulative volume—roughly $0.30 per transaction. The x402 protocol is also open and charges no protocol fee. If basic settlement becomes inexpensive and standardized, more value may accrue to the middle layer between the agent and the payment rail. That includes: • Identifying the agent • Confirming its permissions • Setting spending limits • Metering resource consumption • Requesting and verifying payment • Routing the transaction • Managing fraud and compliance • Granting access to the requested resource Public companies positioned around this middle layer: Cloudflare $NET Cloudflare may have the most strategically important position because it sits directly between agents and online resources. Its Monetization Gateway is designed to let an API, dataset, webpage or AI tool require payment before providing access. Cloudflare can potentially handle the payment request, usage metering, verification and access decision at the edge. Cloudflare Wallets could also give agents programmable spending limits, approved merchants and maximum transaction sizes. This places Cloudflare on both sides of the transaction: helping online resources collect payments and helping agents make them. The products are still early, however, and meaningful revenue has not yet been demonstrated. Coinbase $COIN Coinbase has the most developed overall agent-payment stack. It created x402, operates Base, provides agent wallets, facilitates payments and participates in USDC economics. Because x402 is open and vendor-neutral, Coinbase’s long-term opportunity is not charging a large protocol fee. It is monetizing wallets, balances, compliance, business services and activity occurring through its infrastructure. Mastercard $MA Mastercard’s potential role extends beyond processing the payment. Agent Pay for Machines is designed to manage identity, permissions and trust across cards, bank accounts and stablecoins, including high-frequency payments worth fractions of a cent. Even if settlement moves to inexpensive stablecoin networks, Mastercard could remain involved as the credentialing and risk-management layer. Visa $V Visa is developing agent scoring, tokenized credentials, fraud models, stablecoin settlement and an agent directory. Its infrastructure may be especially relevant when an agent makes a larger purchase for a person and the merchant needs to confirm that the agent is legitimate, authorized and operating within the user’s instructions. PayPal $PYPL PayPal combines merchant distribution, consumer wallets, PYUSD, fraud management and dispute resolution. Its strongest opportunity may be serving as the connection between consumer agents and merchants rather than processing sub-cent machine-to-machine payments. Circle $CRCL USDC currently dominates x402 settlement, making Circle an important part of the underlying payment rail. However, Circle primarily earns reserve income on USDC balances rather than revenue from each transaction. High transaction volume matters only if it also creates larger funded balances or demand for Circle’s paid wallet, compliance and developer services. Marqeta $MQ Marqeta can issue virtual cards with detailed spending limits and programmatic controls. This makes it a useful middle layer while agents still need to purchase from merchants that accept cards but not stablecoins. Its role may become less important if direct wallet-to-wallet payments become widely accepted. My current ranking: $NET — payment and access decisions at the internet edge $COIN — wallets, facilitation, Base and USDC economics $MA — agent identity, permissions and trust $V — credentials, fraud protection and merchant acceptance $PYPL — connection between consumer agents and merchants $CRCL — underlying stablecoin settlement $MQ — programmable card bridge

DarthValidator (@darthvalidator_) reportedA few concerns with $COIN app since using for a few weeks now. 1. why are there 3-5 business day holds on cash before I can buy stocks? (Schwab provides me money up front before the cash even transfers over) 2. why are there 1% spreads on $BTC and $ETH still? Even when I place a limit order, you charge a 1.2% transaction fee? this is robbery on you clients who dont know any better. 3. why do i have to back my coinbase one card spend limit with USDC? this is very untraditional to any credit card out there. Just provide me a limit based on a credit check. Your app has a lot of potential but I believe your team is not paying attention to some small details to help make everything as convenient/seamless as possible for the end user.

Vi𐤊ingsRise (@BobMcge01401565) reported@ScapeSquad I tried it. It was terrible. Coinbase futures literally change the margin you can use at different times of the day. Like orbits 4:30 so now instead of 10x margin you can only use 3x. Gay

Anduro (@andurobtc) reportedBitcoin developer Antoine Riard has outlined several mechanisms intended to keep a mining majority from blocking Bitcoin's proposed quantum "tripwire" The tripwire is a proposal by Pieter Wuille (who credited @tdryja) that creates a designated point that would automatically disable elliptic-curve spending once a valid signature proves Bitcoin's cryptography has broken. Riard addressed a game-theory gap: a coalition controlling most hashrate could refuse to mine the tripwire's trigger transaction, keeping vulnerable coins exploitable. His main fix would have nodes prefer any chain containing the trigger, even one with less proof-of-work, so activation no longer depends on a mining majority. He also floated two alternatives: a "group signature" of post-quantum coins committed in the coinbase, and a commit-reveal "rescue" protocol for elliptic-curve coins. The debate over Bitcoin's quantum-resistance design continues on the mailing list. (check link in reply)

Princess🎴₿💎🕊️ (@PrincessBartho2) reported@smartcoded At the same time, @coinbase is putting Hyperliquid perps inside Base App, giving eligible users access to more than 290 markets with up to 50x leverage.

theKOLLAB 🤝 (@theKOLLAB_io) reported@coinbase just brought Hyperliquid perpetual futures into its Base App, and hyperliquid:native is surging on the news. Eligible users now get access to more than 290 markets with leverage up to 50x, executed through Hyperliquid but housed inside the Base App interface. Coinbase called it a direct response to demand, noting perps already make up roughly 75% of all crypto trading volume on the app. The product is restricted in the US, UK, Canada, and other jurisdictions limiting leveraged crypto derivatives. HYPE jumped roughly 23% in 24 hours to around $72, a two-month high, within reach of its all-time high near $73.72.

The Gentleman (@byTheGentleman) reportedCrypto’s “smartest money” funded the biggest graveyard. I reviewed 61 verified crypto shutdown events in 2026. 38 ended in a full wind-down or bankruptcy. The dataset contains $555.75M in publicly disclosed capital. 1. Coinbase Ventures ranks first with 8 shutdown exposures. 2. Polychain Capital: 7. 3. a16z: 6. 4. Hack VC, 1kx and Placeholder: 4 each. 19 shutdown events died on PMF, unit economics or liquidity. Another 12 ended through a strategic pivot or migration. These are exposure counts, not loss estimates. Crypto VCs do not publish a final write-off ledger. This is the public scorecard they left behind. They sell diligence, access and “smart money” as an edge. The public record is a graveyard. Founders publish the shutdown. Funds bury the logo and raise the next vehicle. “Smart money” is marketing. Shutdown exposure is the track record.

mIdk (@innerhat) reportedLooks like the bitcoin community is starting to adopt this fork of DATUM 🔥 Question: Should we have DATUM automatically include blake2b_headline from bitcoin.conf (reads coinbaseaux.blake2b_headline over RPC) in the coinbase of the activation block? (Truncated to 75 bytes, padded with pool / miner tags after if shorter than 75 bytes) Or leave it manually configured by using the pool / miner tags, given it would only be a temporarily used feature? (Would not require undoing or changing anything to resume using regular pool / miner tags) Would love to know what the community has to say 👇

Austin Federa | 🇺🇸 (@Austin_Federa) reported@serpinxbt No, you would need a separate book. But most exchanges already operate a ton of different books. Coinbase has like four, polymarket has two, as long as there is fast connectivity between the two books and market makers (which are already KYC’d) can balance liquid at the appropriately they shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

Anna MacMillan (@annamacmillan) reportedCoinbase choosing ADGM for its international tokenization hub is a useful external validation. Global platforms are no longer selecting jurisdictions on the basis of marketing claims. They are selecting on the basis of regulatory substance and the ability to issue instruments that can actually be held by institutions.
