Michelle (@littleflower673) reportedFor bitcoiners, from a wise person on the Coldwallet debacle: Guys, if any of you have a cold card and are concerned, just move the funds. Don’t wait and hope. Don’t wait for borrowing a HW or deciding the new one to buy. If you don’t care about kyc, open a river account or use coinbase or something and move them now. If you care about non-kyc then I’d suggest either using okx wallet or xverse wallet. Both are non-kyc and can be setup in minutes. Of course those aren’t long term solutions for this problem, but don’t let “not perfect” stop you from running out of a burning building. A software wallet on a iPhone is 100x safer than any version of cold card at this point if you aren’t 100% sure what cold card version you’re on or how you derived the seed.

Sebastian Olof (@Toronto_SebOlof) reported@zosegal Coinbase steals crypto here/there. It happened to me in 2017/2018 when withdrawing BTC. They never sent transaction on chain but removed the BTC from my account. Zero replies from "customer service" Happened to other people on Twitter as well back then.

HouseofSats (@HouseofSats) reported$BTC. I have decided to divide my Bitcoin exposure between (1) spot Bitcoin in a Blockstream hardware wallet; (2) Coinbase; (3) IBIT in a brokerage account. While the Cold Card hack did not effect me, it forced me to realize the importance of diversifying my exposure. I will sleep easier this way. A note on exchanges. A lot of people point to high-profile exchange collapses for why individuals should self-custody; most often Mt. Gox and FTX. Mt. Gox stands for "Magic: The Gathering Online Exchange." It was launched in 2010 and collapsed in 2014. FTX was founded in 2019 and collapsed in 2022. Compare these to the following brokerages/exchanges: Coinbase, founded 2012, no mass scale loss of funds. E*Trade, founded 1982, taken public 1996, acquired by Morgan Stanley (founded 1935) in 2020. Charles Schwab, founded 1971. Fidelity, founded 1946. We are in the institutional era of Bitcoin. The entities offering spot Bitcoin trading are highly sophisticated, well-regulated, and have long track records of customer service and security. Are they infallible? Of course not. But they're in a completely different universe than Mt. Gox and FTX. Self-custody maxis for years raved about the hypothetical scenarios of government confiscation, exchange collapse, or unbacked claims. Could these come to bear? Perhaps. But the Cold Card hack has actually occurred. People have actually lost their life savings. People who did everything the self-custody maxis told them to do. People who thought they were doing everything right when it came to Bitcoin. Recognize that the Bitcoin ecosystem is maturing and decide for yourself how you want to manage your exposure and mitigate your risk. But after the Cold Card hack, "exchange" should not be a ***** word. I am in Bitcoin for one reason: to increase my family's purchasing power. I cannot afford to be overly ideological.

defido (@defido) reportedIf you don't understand this is enemy number 1. And this kind of rhetoric is ridiculous. How much money did MEXC, Coinbase, Bitmart, Binance and other exchanges lose their customers by simply not giving them their money and burying them in non replies to access their own funds? Something no bank could ever do. 0.06m BTC was lost more by self custody. Which means we need only the smallest amounts of efforts on self custody to make this comment seemingly ridiculous. Onchain will win.

mrpicule.eth (@MrPicule) reportedBitMEX, BitMart, and AscendEX all shut down this month. On-chain DEXs are making the same structural mistake that killed them Three centralized exchanges dead in July. AscendEX on the 1st, BitMEX on the 23rd, BitMart on the 26th. The common take is "bear market cleanup, weak CEXs die, this is healthy." And it is. But the reason they died matters more than the fact that they died Every one of them ran the same model: build your own matching engine, bootstrap your own liquidity, acquire users fast enough to cover the overhead. When the user flow slowed down the economics collapsed. You can't sustain an entire exchange stack on thin volume Here's the part nobody in defi wants to hear: most on-chain DEXs are running the exact same playbook Count the perp DEXs right now - 150+. Count the spot DEXs across every L2 - 500+ if you include uniswap forks. Every single one bootstraps its own liquidity from scratch. Every one fragments the same pool of traders across yet another isolated venue. The only difference from the CEXs that just died is that the liquidity is in smart contracts instead of a company's bank account The result is the same: thin books, wide spreads, poor fills, and a race to acquire users before the treasury or incentive budget runs out. When incentives dry up, volume migrates, and the venue slowly dies. We've watched this cycle play out dozens of times already in defi and nobody connects it to what's happening on the CEX side right now The CEXs that survived (Binance, Coinbase, OKX) survived because they hit enough scale to sustain the overhead. The ones that didn't hit that scale died. In defi the threshold is even harder to reach because you're competing for the same liquidity across hundreds of venues simultaneously The fix isn't "build a better DEX". The fix is stop rebuilding the exchange layer from scratch every time. Shared matching infrastructure that multiple frontends plug into. One deep order book instead of 500 thin ones. The frontend is the brand and the UX. The execution and liquidity layer underneath is shared This changes the economics completely. A new DEX doesn't need to bootstrap liquidity from zero. It plugs into existing depth from day one. If one frontend dies, the liquidity doesn't disappear because it was never locked to that single venue. Users aren't stranded the way BitMart's 13 million users are stranded right now The CEX shutdowns this month aren't just a CEX problem. They're a warning about what happens to any exchange model built on isolated infrastructure. Defi isn't immune to that just because the contracts are on-chain What would it take for defi to move from "every project builds its own exchange" to "every project plugs into shared exchange infrastructure"?

web3 lawyer 首席大律师 (@Web3Counsels) reported@WatcherGuru the lag on Crypto Clarity Act-style market-structure is real, but the national security framing is coinbase wrapping its own wishlist in the flag. if the fix is just CFTC/SEC jurisdiction, why sell it as patriotism?

FixxTheMoney (@FixxTheMoneyy) reported@picdoc581 @BritishHodl We gotta meet normal people where their at if we want people to self custody. No ones gonna roll dice or do any of this other wacky ****. They'll just give their coins to Coinbase or Blackrock. Which I don't care or think is a bad thing, but self custody should be much more approachable for people willing to do it. IMO, seeds are the biggest problem.

Nick (@_rektnick) reportedits going to get very, very silly last cycle 90% of retail was exit liquidity for smart traders bc centralized exchanges did not list memes until multi billions + listed infra that was down only since launch & there were no easy to use mobile apps this cycle we will have retail with ability to one-click ape anything trending on-chain in less than a minute across any blockchain there has never been a time in crypto's history where it was this easy for retail to speculate on lowcaps with very little friction also we have centralized exchanges who missed out on massive volume & will be much more likely to list coins going forward, imo can see this already with how much coinbase is implementing coinbase wallet into the exchange natively even allowing ppl to instantly ape new launches memecoin volumes will attract retail traders, but will also attract builders bc open blockchains are the best place for smart developers to go to get instant liquidity for ideas, especially with ai tools like fable & others, am very bullish on tokenization and innovative apps coins like ethereum:0xdd3b11ef34cd511a2da159034a05fcb94d806686 which are able to command & compound attention throughout the bull run will benefit massively on-chain supercycle

bullTattoo ⓗ (@bullTat2) reportedi don't get it. Literally from Robinhood or Coinbase (coinbase is actually faster) it takes ******* a day and a half sometimes. And the Layer 2's on ETH sometimes take like 30 mins. How ******** is this operable? It makes zero sense.

⏳ Michael Dunworth⌛️ (@MichaelDunwort1) reported@ausbtcclub They are (napkin numbers) Probably a team of <16 people. Likely 1/3 this but being generous. Social media elevated their perceived status. I would guess they have maybe $500k-$1M )max max maxxxxxx). They aren’t a real product social media inflated it. Nobody likely to get much. It’s not a Binance/coinbase level platform with capital reserves to help out customers. 😔

Gold (@FiatFlameOut) reported@Mr_Derivatives Until their wallets are compromised. A wallet belongs to anyone with the right sequence of digits. ETFs coinbase are all the same. One line of flawed code or one disgruntled employee with the right access and it is gone. No recourse. Downside of decentralization. Gold has been and will continue to the the best decentralized store of value.

⚡imp0stor⚡₿ (@x_imp0stor) reported@BTC_JEDI21 One time a long long time ago, a Bitcoin coinbase issuance bug caused a chain stoppage and rollback. It issued more coins than the supply allowed in one overflow issue, I think. But… I know what you are saying and I am not trying to detract from that message.

xcersyst (@xcersyst1) reported@TheCryptoDog Ask Jeeves says; If Coinbase itself were hacked—meaning their internal systems were breached—your funds would typically be fully covered. They have crime insurance to protect customer assets from that kind of event.

IBIT HODL (@IBITHODL) reportedBitcoin Adoption is getting a boost because of this. There will be Bitcoin purchases, either on exchange with Coinbase, Robinhood, Fidelity Digital Assets, or other and through ETFs. Self custody ****'s will get drowned out by Big Bitcoin, no one with serious money will buy $250 wallets to store their whole wealth on. Bitcoin influencers are now irrelevant, and now we have the suitcoiners convincing the world to buy Bitcoin. This is the next chapter, whether the ReAl BitCoiNer Muppets want to admit it or not. Cold Card fiasco is what was needed to push Bitcoin forward. Thank you Self custody ****'s and Bitcoiners for your service, Big Bitcoin will take it from here.

Omar (@TheOneandOmsy) reportedReally a crypto bear market when the largest publicly listed crypto exchange $COIN drops *Trading Volume* as a reported key metric despite “Consumer Transaction Revenue” being their single largest revenue item From their Q2 filing: “Beginning in the second quarter of 2026, we no longer include Trading Volume as a key metric. As our business has evolved to support multiple asset classes, we believe the prior Trading Volume metric, which focused on spot crypto volume, no longer reflects the breadth of our business. Additionally, we do not believe that a total trading volume metric would fully represent the business given the differences in economics across our diversified trading products. We believe that metrics focused on users and assets are better operational indicators, as they measure the trust customers place in Coinbase and our ability to attract and retain users.”

chaskin.eth (@jchaskin22) reportedSince, in classic @x fashion, this debate has basically boiled down to "the other side is insane," here are what I think (my subjective opinion) are the strongest arguments for each position: Lower the curve At today's staking amount (41.5M ETH) and an ETH price of $1,875, Ethereum already has about $78B securing the network. Which is more than enough to make an attack extremely expensive. The concern is that continuing to pay for even more stake does not necessarily make Ethereum safer. Most of new stake will flow to the same large exchanges and LSTs so while the total amount staked will go up, control of that stake becomes more concentrated. In other words, we would end up paying inflation to make Ethereum less secure. Keep the curve the same If staking rewards become very low, large exchanges like Coinbase and Binance can afford to offer staking at razor thin margins because staking isn't their business, it's one feature in a much larger business. For LSTs, staking is the product. If margins get compressed enough, there's a real risk that more and more Ethereum stake consolidates around centralized exchanges. Also institutions like yield! I don't think either side is crazy. The hard part is figuring out which long term risk is actually larger.

0xCHINTU (@chintu_774) reported@BitgetPak My USDT rToken Portfolio 📊 I split my portfolio into growth, stability, and momentum instead of going all in on one name rNVDA - 2,000 USDT (40%) I believe NVDA is a hold in this bull market because the demand for AI infrastructure is not going to slow down. Right now, this is my market anchor. rAAPL - 1,500 USDT (30%) AAPL is my “sleep well at night” holding because of the lower volatility and steady compounding. rTSLA - 1,000 USDT (20%) I am taking a high-beta approach and I believe TSLA has the potential to be a high-volatility stock because of news surrounding EV and/or robotics. rCOIN - 500 USDT (10%) This is my direct exposure to crypto adoption and since I believe Coinbase will outperform when the market heats up, this rToken is a direct bet on that. My goal here is to have 70% in compounders (NVDA/AAPL) and 30% positioned in higher volatility (COIN/TSLA) names. I trade these rTokens on Bitget UEX, so I get stock exposure with crypto-like flexibility- giving me no need. #BitgetUEX #BitgetrToken

BUNT (@BUNT10) reportedCircle reports Q2 earnings on Aug 5 $CRCL The Q1 baseline Q1 2026 revenue came in at $694M, up 20% YoY, missing the $714.8M analyst consensus. Reserve income made up $653M of that. USDC in circulation grew 39% YoY on average, but the reserve return rate fell 66bps to 3.5% as the yield curve started pricing in easing. Net income dropped 15% to $55M even as Adjusted EBITDA rose 24% to $151M, the gap is stock-based comp and Arc build-out costs. Operating margin compressed to 6% from 16% a year prior. What Q2 is expected to show Consensus sits at $734.70M revenue (+11% YoY, +6% QoQ) and EPS of $0.19, against a loss of $0.43 in the same quarter last year. That's a deceleration from Q1's 20% growth rate and the reason is visible in the underlying float. USDC circulation fell 4.6% in Q2 to $73.77B per @DefiLlama , down from $77B at Q1-end. Circle's revenue is circulation × reserve yield. Both variables moved against them this quarter. Options positioning is bullish (calls outweighing puts on the P/C ratio), but short interest sits at 27.11M shares, roughly 12% of float, a bearish signal running parallel to the bullish flow. That divergence itself tells you the market hasn't settled on what Circle is right now: rate-sensitive cash proxy, or infrastructure compounder. Stock is down almost 24% YTD, closed Monday at $60.35. Why OpenUSD mattered On June 30, a 140-firm consortium including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock, BNY, and Coinbase among them launched Open USD. CRCL dropped 16-17% intraday same day. The mechanism is what matters: OpenUSD doesn't keep the reserve yield. It redistributes nearly all of it back to the distribution partners who bring the float. @circle 's entire model is the inverse, Circle keeps the yield, and pays out distribution costs (51-54% of gross reserve revenue goes to Coinbase alone) to keep partners incentivized. OpenUSD inverts that structure completely. Instead of an issuer monetizing float and paying distributors a cut, the distributors are the economics. If Stripe, Visa, and BNY can mint and redeem at zero cost and pocket the yield directly, the fear was whether Circle's current partners had any reason to keep taking Circle's cut instead of just running their own rail. That fear was tested faster than expected. Coinbase's revenue-share agreement with Circle hit its first contractual renewal milestone since the August 2023 deal, and on the July 30 earnings call, CFO Alesia Haas confirmed it renews on the same terms. Her words: conditions were already met, no ambiguity for the market. Armstrong backed it up, framing Coinbase's OUSD participation as multi-stablecoin diversification, not a pivot away from USDC. Coinbase still gets 100% of reserve income on USDC held directly on its platform, a business that generated $305.4M in Q1 alone on record average balances of $19B . Bunt's POV This closes the loop on the risk I was watching. The renewal on unchanged terms means Circle's largest distribution relationship and roughly half its gross reserve revenue exposure isn't up for renegotiation this cycle. CoinShares was right that OpenUSD targets the economics, not the liquidity, but Coinbase choosing to sit in both camps rather than exit USDC tells you the current revenue split still works better for a multi-stablecoin platform than a full switch does. That said, this removes one specific tail risk, it doesn't fix the Q2 setup. Circulation still fell 4.6% into the print and the reserve rate is still compressing. The OpenUSD story isn't dead either, it just didn't detonate on the timeline the market feared in July. Worth watching whether OUSD's actual launch later this year pulls float away from USDC balances directly, separate from what Coinbase does contractually.

Tim (@mokeyandabandit) reported@Hanakookie1 @TFTC21 @EricBalchunas It was quite simple for someone who cleaned by couple hundred $ of USDC i had on their. bypassed my authenticator as well as my password etc....absolutely no concern from Coinbase other than to avoid repercussions from me. Washed my hands of that garbage exchange after having trouble with them years earlier when they 'froze' my account over a possible breach...for MONTHS..right during a bear bottom period when i was trying to back the truck up 🤡

RAVEN.fi "🚢" (@Raven_slb) reportedJesse Pollak just did something rare in crypto, he stood up and said "I was wrong" out loud For two years @base bet everything on social, Farcaster, Zora, creator coins, mini apps, the whole thesis was that on-chain social would onboard the next billion users. Pollak just admitted that bet failed. He called Q1 2026 "a punch in the face" and said the social market "disintegrated completely" while Base fell behind in perps, prediction markets and tokenization, areas that turned out to actually matter He's stepping back from leading the Base app, handing it to Coinbase, and refocusing purely on the chain itself, positioning Base as "the blockchain for global finance." Pivot is now trading, payments and AI agents Why this matters for the airdrop conversation: Base just activated its B20 token standard on mainnet, the native framework for stablecoins and tokenized assets. That's not nothing. Jesse confirmed back in Sept 2025 they were exploring a network token, no allocation or date yet, but the infrastructure keeps getting built quietly while the app strategy gets torn down and rebuilt Honestly a founder admitting failure this publicly, then immediately shipping the token infra that would matter for a TGE, reads less like retreat and more like clearing the runway $BASE speculation isn't going anywhere anytime soon

Human Lie Detector (@FreeThinkinSerf) reported@layeredstacks Far MORE BTC has been stolen by exchanges from their customer and/or by exchanges being hacked and then going out of business than the BTC lost by hodlers using self custody. By comparison, this coldcard self custody fiasco doesn’t even enter into the top 10 worst BTC thefts from exchanges. Exchanges have proven time and again that when push comes to shove, they will **** their customers and keep money (or somehow lose it). COINBASE specifically has a horrible reputation among serious bitcoiners. Problems accessing your BTC and account locks are just a couple serious examples of reasons why bitcoiners don’t trust COINBASE.

Our Crypto Talk (@ourcryptotalk) reportedBitmex and BitMart raised a question of CEX vs DEX in 2026 or $HYPE vs $BNB That's not what's actually happening in perps right now. Binance is still doing $10B+ daily volume. Hyperliquid is running $5-8B monthly average daily. Neither of those numbers is going anywhere. > Mid-tier CEX perps volume: $400K to $50M daily, and shrinking > Custody: still holding your funds > Deposit insurance: none, typically > Regulatory status: often unlicensed or in the process of closing That's not a competitor losing market share. That's a category dying, and BitMEX and BitMart just gave you two live examples of it. Here's the part that matters for anyone actually trading size. A sophisticated perps trader leaving Bybit or a mid-tier exchange isn't migrating to Coinbase or another CEX. They're going on-chain. Hyperliquid's non-custodial model and permissionless listings via HIP-3 solve the exact problems that made mid-tier CEXs risky in the first place: thin books, no proof of reserves, high slippage on size. The top of the CEX stack isn't threatened by this at all. Deep liquidity, SAFU-style funds, licensed status in key jurisdictions, that's a moat DEX volume isn't close to touching. So the framing needs to change. This isn't CEX vs DEX. It's top-tier vs everyone else, and DEX is the thing eating the everyone else. DEX is not threatening Binance. It is threatening the exchange that was already losing. Where do you think that $400K-$50M mid-tier volume actually goes once those platforms shut down. On-chain, or does it just leave crypto entirely.

Ryan G (@RyDawg42) reportedI am sure crypto will eventually come to X Money. It seems like it was intentional left out, until they get the basic payments working well. X Money did not partner with some random FDIC-Insured community bank. They partnered with the most crypto active regulated bank in the US. The bank for Coinbase & Circle. The bank that joined Visas USDC stablecoin program in 2025. They integrated Ripple in 2014. And it has a head of Crypto on its executive team. If any US bank was already equipped, staffed, and regulatory positioned to use Crypto in a fintech product on launch day; it is Cross River Bank. And same with VISA. Visa launched USDC stable coin settlement in 2025. They issue the Coinbase Card and the Crypto dot com card. Visa is prepared to underwrite crypto and integrate it with a debit card. This was an intentional choice to not launch with Crypto. But I think it will be coming.......

Behar26 (@Behar026) reported@vincent_vancode This falls on @coinbase for blocking the bill in January. All because they were worried about securing their stable coin yield business with @circle . You took the whole industry down because of your own bottom line. Thanks!
