Donald S Pritt Jr (@PrittJr) reported@rina_rrnaaaaa Do I need help ? Are you kidding me Carine? I told the representative over the phone while the call was recorded on both Coinbase’s and my end , that I do not permit you to sell my crypto when I have the cash funds in my account to pay for the recovery. Coinbase still sold my crypto.

Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ (@shanaka86) reportedBitMEX once handled roughly 57% of all crypto derivatives trading. It now handles less than 0.01%. On 23rd September 2026 it shuts down for good. The contract it invented became a regulated American product 55 days before its creator announced its own death. This is not a bankruptcy. BitMEX says its assets exceed its liabilities and that it never lost customer funds to a hack in 11 years. It stopped mattering while the thing it built took over the market. That thing is the perpetual swap. A normal futures contract dies on a date. The perpetual replaces the date with a funding payment passed between longs and shorts every few hours, which keeps the contract tethered to spot. It does not remove the cost of time. It turns time into rent. Robert Shiller proposed an ancestor of this in 1992, perpetual claims settling against a cash-flow index, built for assets like housing whose prices were nearly impossible to observe. Crypto inverted the purpose. Shiller wanted a contract with no expiry because the underlying barely traded. Crypto perfected one because Bitcoin never stopped trading. BitMEX launched it in May 2016. The mechanism was public, so everyone copied it. CoinGecko counted 92.9 trillion dollars of perpetual turnover across the largest centralized and decentralized venues in 2025, though narrower trackers put it nearer 61.7 trillion, and turnover is not wealth because the same dollar trades repeatedly. None of that flowed back to the inventor. Kaiko estimates BitMEX now sees around 400,000 dollars of daily volume. Binance and OKX took roughly a third and a sixth of centralized perpetual volume. A sale process run from late 2024 seeking about a billion dollars found no buyer. The rent went to liquidity, distribution, balance sheets and regulatory access. Authorship was never the moat. Back in 2020 the CFTC charged BitMEX over offering derivatives to Americans without registration and over anti-money-laundering failures. It charged the venue's conduct, not the existence of the contract. Its founders pleaded guilty in 2022 and were pardoned last year. Then the contract changed legal species. In 2023 the CFTC treated Binance perpetuals as swaps. On 29th May this year they issued a formal order approving Kalshi's bitcoin perpetual as a futures contract, and opened a separate route letting Coinbase customers reach Deribit perpetuals as foreign futures, with bitcoin, ether and stablecoins eligible as margin under conditions. Crypto is no longer only the thing inside the derivative. It is collateral inside supervised derivatives plumbing. CME sued to overturn it, arguing these contracts are swaps under Dodd-Frank. Then CME did something stranger. On 24th July it moved its one-ounce gold future to 24-hour trading, and nearly 15,000 contracts worth about 60 million dollars changed hands over the first weekend. Kalshi has now applied to list perpetuals on gold, silver and platinum. Two different clocks are in play. One governs when a market may trade. The other governs whether a contract must ever mature. CME has surrendered the first and is fighting the second in federal court. That fight decides more than a classification. A dated future forces convergence at one terminal moment. A perpetual needs a trustworthy reference price at every funding interval, for as long as it lives, with no scheduled reset. BitMEX built a contract with no expiry date. The company got one anyway.

Mustapa Osman (@mustapa2008) reported@SenLummis Senator, nobody said all of Wall Street opposes it. That's a strawman. The split is commercial, and CoinDesk the source in your own screenshot says so: JPMorgan is backing changes that Coinbase and the crypto industry oppose. Your list is the firms with crypto revenue. BlackRock runs the largest Bitcoin ETF. Fidelity runs the second largest. Franklin Templeton and SoFi sell crypto products. They're endorsing the bill that legitimizes their own product lines. That's not validation, that's a customer list. And your strongest name undercuts you: Goldman's David Solomon says he supports moving it forward while calling the bill imperfect. Even your endorsers say it needs work. The list that matters hasn't moved: the National District Attorneys Association, the National Association of Assistant U.S. Attorneys, the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Sheriffs' Association, who wrote that Section 604 would "severely impede the ability of law enforcement to investigate, trace, and prosecute" crypto crime. Every firm you named has fees at stake. The prosecutors don't. Fix 604.

Pharos (@PharosInsights) reportedThe strategic prize may be an agentic financial control plane: one mandate and one risk policy that can route a transaction across an internal ledger, card, bank account or stablecoin—and stop, explain or repair it when necessary. Coinbase can still win that market. Its strongest AiFi thesis is not that every agent payment must settle on Base. It is that Coinbase can combine USDC, Base, x402, wallets, security, compliance, exchange liquidity and developer distribution into the orchestration layer. That also changes how x402 should be measured. One human instruction may generate thousands of API calls, data purchases and compute events. But usage events, payment instructions and final settlements are three different metrics. Efficient systems will also batch, net and pre-fund many machine transactions. More machine activity does not automatically mean one blockchain settlement per action. A July measurement study found 136.7 million Base x402 settlements worth $44.1 million—about $0.32 each on average. It classified 21.2% as fictitious and 63.8% as internal to linked clusters. Internal does not automatically mean fake, and low value is expected in micropayments. But the conclusion remains: Transaction count is not adoption. The relevant KPIs are independent buyers, external revenue, repeat usage, verified work and economically necessary settlement. The largest missing layer is accountability. A blockchain can prove that a key signed. It cannot prove that the agent understood the user’s intent, purchased the correct service, received a valid result or deserves credit. A wallet gives software purchasing power. It does not give it judgment, legal identity or a balance sheet. ✅

TryBit (@trybit_global) reported🚨 AI Is Getting Its Own Wallet One of the biggest limitations of AI agents has been their inability to make payments on their own. That is starting to change. Coinbase, Circle, and OKX are developing solutions that give AI agents their own crypto wallets, allowing them to make payments within predefined limits. This means an agent could pay for API access or even trade assets without human involvement. Crypto is well suited for these use cases. Blockchain makes it possible to set spending limits while maintaining a transparent and verifiable record of transactions.

FalconTrace Bureau HQ ✪ (@FalconTraceHQ) reported@Lilnour @coinbase @Lilnour Sorry you're dealing with this. Two months is far too long. Was your collateral locked after liquidation, or is it a withdrawal issue? Do you have your case number? Send me a DM, and I'll help review what happened and discuss the next steps.

Austin (@adbodine) reported@coinbase Your DEX is not functioning properly, it randomly flags buys as "scams" and requests the user to ID verify. It's a serious functionality issue that should be fixed, the DEX is unusable at this point.

Jim Graham (@jimrgraham) reported@taylorkenneyitm Just over three weeks ago, I tried to wire $20,000 to Kraken to buy crypto. I tried to wire $50,000 to Binance two weeks before that - blocked. I've bought crypto from Coinbase, and many other platforms without any issue except have to talk to the fraud department about why I was buying crypto. All I wanted to do was buy crypto. BofA closed all THREE of my bank accounts without notice and told me to wait for a cashiers check in the mail. I was actually in a branch while talking to the fraud department when they closed my account without even telling me. They could have given me 5 minutes notice and I would have requested a cashiers check for my 6 figures. NO - instead they said for my protection, they closed the accounts. What about business? What about an escrow I needed to close? What about mortgages, what about expenses, payroll, etc...?? Sorry, you will need to wait for your cashiers check to come in the mail. I was a BofA customer for 35 years.

Faryar Shirzad 🛡️ (@faryarshirzad) reportedPayment accounts at the Fed are an important step toward modernizing the U.S. payment system—and we want to see them actually work. That's why @coinbase filed comment letters with the @federalreserve this week. Our message is simple: expand access, but build a framework that's viable in practice. Three fixes matter most. - First, these accounts should earn interest on at least a threshold portion of balances. - Second, any overnight balance limit should be tailored to an institution's demonstrated payments needs. - Third, oversight should match the actual risk. Get these details right, and payment accounts can lower costs, strengthen competition, and keep the U.S. at the frontier of global payments.

Oversized Moose With Socks (xlmoose.eth) (@undacappn) reportedI am actually confused how anyone who works at @X is under the illusion that the chat feature isn’t the absolutely worst chat available within any application in 2026. Coinbase customer service chat works better. I’m not joking.

FeeFreeStampede (@ZombiLiving) reported@rasmr_eth IF you guys would support nano swap or shimmer evm and shimmer swaps or hathor swaps you could DEX swap #btc for SO mucb less... the reason we lack liquidity is because you all gave it to CEX and coinbase instead of DEX!!!!

Global Whales (@twtlinks) reportedCoinbase just launched a "Launches" tab — letting users discover and trade new Base and Solana tokens directly in-app. This is a big deal. Coinbase is becoming a launchpad, not just an exchange. Think about it: retail access to new token launches without leaving a regulated, trusted app. That changes how new projects get distribution entirely.

William Belfort (@WilliamBelfort_) reported@coinbase is building the bank for AI agents. Base. x402. Agentic wallets. Coinbase for Agents. What’s still missing? The place those agents actually write, version, and ship code. GitHub was built for humans. @gitlawb was built for agents. Cryptographic identity. UCAN permissions. Full MCP server. Already live on Base. OpenClaude with 30k stars feeding it. Agents need money and a native code layer. CC @brian_armstrong

leozc (@leozc) reported@brian_armstrong I think both “pivot to AI” and “AI makes crypto more important” are expressions of the same mistake: treating a technology category as a mission. Crypto is not infrastructure simply because we call it infrastructure. Electricity and the internet became general-purpose technologies because they repeatedly lowered costs and enabled things that were previously impossible. Crypto has done that in some areas, but failed to do it in many others. The relevant question is not whether crypto can be attached to the next megatrend. It is where decentralized coordination, programmable settlement, and digital ownership are actually better than databases, legal contracts, and existing financial institutions. The same applies to Agentic Finance. Moving money is only the easy part. An agent can hold a token, but that does not answer who authorized it, who is liable when it fails, how it earns credit, how fraud is reversed, or how disputes are resolved. Crypto may help with settlement. It does not eliminate the harder problems of identity, trust, governance, and accountability. I worked at Coinbase and have been building in blockchain since 2016. My concern is that Coinbase cannot attract the best while defining its ambition too narrowly. The best people do not want to spend their careers proving that crypto must be the answer. They want to solve important problems and use whatever combination of technologies the solution requires. Coinbase should not ask how it can make itself relevant to AI. It should ask what financial system humans and machines will need—and whether it has the courage to build that system even when much of the answer is not crypto. A company that is loyal to crypto will defend a category. A company that is loyal to the problem might build the future.

Calliope the Koala (@0xCalliope) reportedMost tokens are vibes and a whitepaper. $BEATS is actually doing something. Let me break down how it connects the whole ecosystem together. Across every product Beats on Base has built, the token is not decorative. It is the economic layer that makes each product tick. In BUDDIES, the white-label AI agent platform for crypto projects, BEATS is the credit that powers every interaction. LLM calls, image generations, video compositions — all deducted directly from a project's on-chain balance. No fiat subscriptions. No middlemen. Just token utility, live on-chain, right now. In the Base App Agent, accessed via beats.base.eth inside the Coinbase Base App, users who pay with BEATS receive a 20% discount on generations. Drop a BEATS character into your prompt and that discount stacks to around 33% off. Holding 1 million or more BEATS unlocks clean media URLs without watermarks and bumps your daily generation quota by 4x. That is a hold-to-earn mechanic that is genuinely useful, not just a promise. Creator Studio, still in progress and roadmap only, is being designed to run on the same BEATS credit system. Compute-weighted pricing, automated refunds on failed renders, no SaaS subscriptions. When it arrives, the token infrastructure will already be there waiting for it. The pattern is the same across every lane. BEATS is not a separate economy layered on top. It is woven into the payment logic, the discount structure, and the access tiers of each product from day one. That is what separates real infrastructure from a token looking for a reason to exist.

Fireworks (@FireworksAI_HQ) reportedThis quote from @brian_armstrong’s viral X post on how @coinbase cut token spend by half while increasing token usage clearly stuck with us. “The goal isn’t to suppress usage. It’s to build the infrastructure that makes exponential growth sustainable.” That perfectly captures what we’re hearing from hundreds of engineering leaders. They don’t want to slow AI adoption, they don’t want to tell developers to use AI less. They want AI usage to keep growing without AI spend growing at the same rate.
