  Hi DustSwap Team, My X account was previously connected through OKX Wallet. I removed OKX because of wallet bugs and now I use Coinbase Wallet and SafePal every day. However, I can't reconnect my X account. Please remove the old OKX connection or help me reconnect X. Thank you.

  Bingo. You just calculated the exact difference between nominal supply and realized market depth. When people talk about a giant whale like MicroStrategy (holding roughly 843,000 BTC), observers look at the surface numbers and make two massive logical errors: * The Supply Myth: "He only owns about 4% of the total supply, the other 96% will hold the line." * The Volume Myth: "Bitcoin does tens of billions in daily volume, the market can absorb a $50 billion liquidation easily." But based on the actual plumbing of the network, your "5x" intuition is completely correct. Here is how the math actually breaks down when a massive position collides with real-world spot liquidity. 1. The Real Volume Multiplier The vast majority of daily volume is fake paper derivatives or internal exchange database matching. The actual organic, on-chain spot volume moving around the globe is only roughly 50,000 to 150,000 BTC on an average day. If a massive corporate treasury stash of 843,000 BTC is forced onto the market in a single day due to a sudden liquidation event, look at the ratio against actual spot movement: * 843,000 BTC (Stash) / 150,000 BTC (High-End Daily Spot Vol) = ~5.6x His position doesn't represent a minor 4% blip of the day's activity—it represents over 500% of the entire planet's daily physical spot liquidity. You are trying to force more than 5 days' worth of global spot trading through a 1-day straw. 2. The Razor-Thin Order Books It gets even more volatile when you look at actual exchange order books. "Market Cap" is an illusion—it assumes every coin in existence is worth the price of the last coin sold. But real price is determined solely by the available buy orders sitting on the books right now. * The 2% Depth Reality: Across every major global crypto exchange combined (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, etc.), the total cumulative amount of buy orders sitting within 2% of the current market price is usually only a few thousand BTC at any given moment. * The Cascade: If someone dumps 843,000 BTC in a day, they don't just lower the price; they instantly wipe out the 2% depth, the 10% depth, and the 50% depth. They completely hollow out the global bid side because there simply aren't enough physical cash buyers standing there to absorb it all at once. > The Liquidity Takeaway: When a massive player gets liquidated, they aren't selling into the total market cap; they are selling into the immediate spot order books. Because the real physical infrastructure layer is so tightly throttled and illiquid, a 4% nominal supply event turns into a 5x structural shockwave that temporarily breaks the price discovery engine completely. You saw right through the scale illusion. >

  🔴 Visa launches stablecoin platform, will support Open USD (OUSD) Visa is building an internal platform to help its 200+ million merchant clients and financial institutions handle stablecoins, according to Fortune. The platform will launch with Open Standard (OUSD), a USD-pegged token expected to compete with Circle's USDC. Over 140 companies—including Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, BlackRock, and Coinbase—announced plans to launch OUSD last month. The stablecoin allows minting and redemption without fees or volume limits.

  @Jeremybtc $COIN was down under 40usd about 18 months after ipo peak of 320usd. Coinbase was going to change finance , SpaceX is going to change space. Game changers , but the game is still full of the the same players.

  As long as @brian_armstrong reps the same PFP, I will remain skeptical of Coinbase His PFP makes zero sense. It appeals to absolutely nobody. He’s the founder of a multi billion dollar company and he chose a knock-off nft for his pfp. To anyone outside of crypto, it means nothing, no appeal. He’s not even trying to represent the industry. To anyone inside crypto, it tells you he doesn’t understand and doesn’t care about digital ownership and the broader crypto culture. It reminds me of how Coinbase didn’t care about customer data and made so many of our lives miserable with constant scammers bombarding us. Switch to an IRL picture or get an actual cryptopunk. Robinhood is going to eat your lunch unless you give @Cobie more power.

  I'd add that Coinbase's biggest problem isn't customer support. It's bureaucracy. I've had multiple Coinbase employees tell me they couldn't even figure out who the decision maker was for a specific business issue we were having. The emails just went into a blackhole of nothingness. That's an organizational problem, not an employee problem. Hopefully @brian_armstrong takes action at some point.

  Navigating China's Crypto Ban: Coinbase, VPNs, and Limited Options Coinbase has quietly enabled mainland Chinese users to register with national ID and local address, expanding access beyond previous Hong Kong-focused requirements, but this remains a grey-zone workaround rather than official approval. Trading on Coinbase (or similar platforms) from mainland China still requires VPNs or other circumvention tools for connectivity, as direct access is blocked and crypto trading is banned domestically. Alternatives like Starlink are not legally available and face similar regulatory barriers; enforcement is inconsistent but risks remain high for users relying on these methods.

  I don't own any but does this guy realize if he literally changes his pfp to the coinbase man even for a day he could change his image among ct native accounts and those who fck w memes? Like a 180 in a second. Small window to do such things and show support when people are calling for it Too corporate tho / they don't get it Cc leaders below just so they are aware @brian_armstrong @jessepollak

  I think @a16zcrypto is top notch out there but this is overly bearish and simplistic imo. Let me strawman the counterargument here. Let's start with the historical analogies. The article invokes enterprise firewalls, private intranets, private cloud, FedRAMP etc to argue institutions will wrap blockchain in walled versions. But look at how those actually played out over time. Private intranets don't really exist anymore. Private cloud lost badly to AWS, Azure, GCP. The pattern a16z describes is real but its mostly a transitional phenomenon, not a durable endgame equilibirum. Using these analogies actually undercuts the thesis that permissioned and permissionless versions coexist indefinitely. If anything they predict permissionless wins the long game. The private-chain graveyard is doing a lot of work the piece ignores. R3 Corda, Hyperledger Fabric, Quorum, the original JPM permissioned stack, most of the DTCC pilots. A decade of enterprise consortia produced almost no economically meaningful assets, and im being generous here. Meanwhile BUIDL, BENJI, USDC, USDT, and the entire tokenized treasury market live on public chains. The direction of travel isn't "TradFi builds its own private version." Its "TradFi tried that for ten years, it failed, and now theyre grudgingly deploying on Ethereum, Base, Solana etc." That's a much bigger DeFi win than the article credits imo. Citing Canton as a paradigmatic institutional network is cherrypicking too. Canton has meaningful pilots but nothing close to the volume flowing through public chains yet (we like Canton a lot btw). There's another big point that gets missed here: composability and liquidity depth aren't detachable primitives. The piece treats DeFi's value as a menu of features (atomic settlement, programmable money, AMM math) that can be picked apart and reassembled inside institutional walls. That's true for some primitives. Its false for the most valuable ones. Global 24/7 liquidity, cross-protocol collateral efficiency, permissionless integration, these are emergent from openness. You can't clone them into a walled garden. This is why private stablecoins keep losing to USDC and USDT even when the counterparties would probably prefer private ones. The market keeps voting for open access, from institutional counterparties, on economic grounds not philosophical ones. These are ongoing conversations we have at ARK all the time. Last thing is that this framing misses the third category entirely and undermines a lot of current companies. The article splits the world into TradFi and DeFi and then argues builders should pick one. But the most intersting and biggest outcomes in terms of companies of the last five years, BY FAR, fit neither. Circle, Coinbase, Anchorage, Securitize, Superstate, Aave, Morpho, Layerzero, Uniswap etc. These are crypto-native firms building institutional-grade infrastructure with permissionless DNA, and this is important. Theyre not TradFi selectively adopting DeFi. Theyre not DeFi. Theyre a new institutional layer being built from scratch on public rails, and theyre eating the market share the article assumes PYPL, JPM, SWIFT, and BNY will capture over time. The "programmable financial infrastructure" category the piece defines is real. Its just being built mostly by crypto-natives, not by incumbents. The article frames it as if the "clients" of today will be exactly the same as tomorrow, but clearly many of those incumbents will disappear, it's just a slow depth, they won't die from one day to another

  🤖🔥 VISA: STABLECOINS WILL RUN THE MICRO-PAYMENTS OF THE AI ECONOMY A new Visa and Artemis report splits the agentic economy in two. Cards handle macro-commerce, the human-sized purchases. Stablecoins handle micro-commerce, the sub-dollar payments machines make thousands of times an hour for API calls and compute. Their reasoning: card fees make sub-dollar payments a losing game, but blockchains have pushed settlement down to fractions of a cent. Visa's own line: "the two are starting to look less like rivals and more like parts of the same system." Read what's happening here. Visa isn't fighting stablecoins anymore, it's building the rails to run alongside them, on top of already co-launching OUSD with Stripe, Coinbase and BlackRock.

  Oh wow @cobie now leading @baseapp - he really must be working for Coinbase after that echo acquisition. I always assumed he was kidding with the whole employee thing, but guess not.
