Thieves stole $6.3 billion in crypto this week and moved it across blockchains in minutes. The Clarity Act created a pilot program for crypto firms and federal law enforcement to share intelligence directly. When the industry and law enforcement move together, stolen money stops moving.

Your binder is about to get a major upgrade.
Rip packs on your phone.
Every pull backed by a real, physical card.
Vault it or ship it.
Soon on Coinbase.

Coinbase took longer to issue tokenized equities in a regulatory compliant manner as listed below. So Robinhood had a head start offering synthetic, but @coinbase is winning adoption as chart and data have suggested.
1. 1:1 direct beneficial claim on a real share, not synthetic.
2. Shares held by Alpaca (regulated broker/custodian) in a bankruptcy-remote structure
3. incorporated in Abu Dhabi Global Market, supervised by ADGM's regulator.
4. Dividends and voting rights attach to the token (xStocks holders get neither)
5. B20 architecture allows stock split and reverse split and etc

If you only include the real onchain tokenized equities meaning 1:1 backed, no synthetics. It would be,
• Robinhood Chain: $0B
• Base: $1.0B
A grandma broke her nose while hiking, didn't want the helivac, and ended up spinning out of control.
She won a $450,000 lawsuit.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
As hilarious as this is, the video has been edited from the original, she did spin but at a much slower speed

Here we go again! The WSJ is working on a story blaming Coinbase and me personally for the CLARITY Act not passing.
The Journal has repeatedly been hostile to CLARITY in its reporting, regurgitating bank lobby talking points, while I’ve spent years pushing for crypto legislation, but that’s not stopping them from trying to reverse the blame.
The boring TLDR: in January I opposed a draft of the bill going into a committee vote, because it needed a lot of work on DeFi, tokenization, CFTC authority, and stablecoin rewards. At the time, the bill had major issues that would have harmed crypto. Support was fractured, and it wasn’t passable. We worked with a number of parties who improved the bill and made it passable. All four of the items I called out were fixed in the draft that then went through the committee about four months later. I'm proud to have done it, and would do it again, because it helped create a better bill. One step of many along the way.
The final draft of CLARITY that went to the Senate was great, and I strongly supported it. I'll continue showing up for our customers and pushing for clear rules that treat crypto fairly, even if those who feel threatened by crypto try to plant false stories. It's a shame that the WSJ takes direction from bank lobbyists instead of reporting the truth, but luckily, people are smart enough to see through it these days, and it backfires on them every time.

Maybe one of the biggest mistakes modern culture made was treating responsibility as the enemy of freedom.
Marriage restricts you. Children restrict you. Owning a home restricts you. Caring for family restricts you. A career restricts you. Community obligations restrict you.
Of course they do. Anything meaningful places demands on you.
But if you remove every obligation in pursuit of maximum freedom, eventually you’re left with a life where nobody needs you, nothing depends on you and there’s very little bigger than yourself.
We talk constantly about wanting meaning while systematically avoiding the exact commitments that tend to create it. And I guarantee you there’s going to be a lot of sad and lonely people in our aging generation because of this nearsighted pursuit.

True
People failed to recognize a few things in the bear market for $COIN.
In the 2022 bear market, Coinbase diversified its revenue stream so they aren’t going to be too heavily dependent on trading volume. This was a huge success as now Coinbase is operating cash flow positive in any market condition. This is now widely successful.
In the 2026 bear market, Coinbase diversified its product offering/ so they aren’t going to be solely dependent on crypto related revenue only.
In the future, i believe Coinbase will further diversify its role in the financial system, they won’t just be a trading platform. They will also become an infrastructure player.
Keep building!
