Marcus | Macro Strategist (@Marcus_Analyst) reported@misterrcrypto Coinbase premium dip means **** all. Real investors track their own capital, not exchange FUD.

solomiya.eth (@girlincrypto007) reportedMy @coinbase account was just stolen 🤯 I received a call from a Saudi Arabian number (I’m in the UAE) from Coinbase support, asking me to confirm a phone number change. Of course I thought it was a scam and didn’t press anything. When I tried to log in, a different phone number was already linked to my account. I’ve already reached out to their support. Luckily, all my funds had been withdrawn a long time ago - but it’s still unpleasant. I’m shocked that this is even possible on a CEX. Never experienced anything like this in 5 years in crypto.

Andre 🕳️🦦 (@cyanidepilled_) reportedAlways been the main bear risk with hype since its inception. The policy fund created a few months was a good proactive move towards that and nos coinbase being involved lowers that risk substantially. Coinbase spends a **** ton lobbying. Does this betray the og hyperliquid vision? **** yes it does

Steve (@Steve_4P) reported@CosmicDude3000 @coinbase @Official_Upbit 1. Not scalable if they can’t move on chain. Will they freely move to public chains like ETH? Not sure. But at least stablecoin itself is programmable. You know this.. 2. This part, they can still generate ‘some’ sort of revenue because they somewhat will deposit fiat to their bank to issue stablecoin(Kbank -> Hana) if their stablecoin will be used a quote currency. (Revenue might come from, idk, fees ) but more importantly if every bank issues stablecoin, it is always better to have some sort of dominance even if Hana can make relatively small revenues. Also, you should not ask “so will they make money out of this?” This is not the right question to ask. They have to issue stablecoin because gov says so. Then, they should do it. How simple is this. 3. Read the bill. Although it is not fully finalized yet, it is likely that banks are gonna be the main stablecoin issuers. 50% + 1 rule.

Alexander Leishman 🇺🇸 (@Leishman) reportedCoinbase built their business around being a casino when they went down the altcoin path instead of the bitcoin bank path. Perhaps some day they will self actualize and openly call themselves a casino (which would be a lot more honest than what they’re doing today)

Alucard (Rebuilt arc) (@AlucardTrades) reportedback 2 corn; fsvzo going into oversold area while price taggin 200momo on hourly within .6% range. vol compressed going through options expiries. on ****** time frames OB turning into bullish within 2.5% and 5% range. Coinbase takers almost back to net buyers (although the volume is so low compared to sells the past days). funding rates almost flat indicating neutrality. Liq grab from with sweeping the lows below and im out completely even though 200momo hourly seems broken afterwards. Wanna enter NY open flat on perps if i can. Cheers to the lovers of the game!

Pierre (@PierreSamaties) reportedThe @coinbase ICP-USDT delisting is a non-event for liquidity! ICP’s primary trading pair on Coinbase is and remains USDC, nothing changes there. What’s disappointing is the complete lack of advance communication. A simple heads-up would have allowed us to help clarify this to the community and prevent unnecessary FUD during an already volatile market. Exchanges should do better than 24-hour public notice for operational changes that can shake trader confidence, even when the actual impact is minimal. Back to business.

Seth Rosen (@TavCannaLLC) reported@brian_armstrong Customer service needs to be improved dramatically. And given the most recent outage of about 7 hours, all Coinbase One Members should get 20% off their subscription. There has to be some accountability. Coinbase customers deserve better.

Devin (@devinthatdude_) reportedBanks are ***! Slow, direct deposits need approvals that takes weeks. Clarity act actually happens, I will never be using a bank for finances again. I updated my direct deposit with SoFi and COINBASE 3 weeks ago and they have yet to verify with my company. Crypto forever…

Jack Blinka ☀️🔥 (@Robert35116965) reported@jmmpayne @HugoPhilion @0xQuantic There is no longer a 10 xrp minimum mint when using the tag method. I just minted less than 1 with no problems from coinbase.

Sweep (@0xSweep) reportedAnd it just got worse Coinbase became the official USDC treasury deployer on HYPERLIQUID the same week NYSE and CME pushed for US regulators to investigate it The "treasury deployer" framing buries what's actually happening Coinbase captures the majority of USDC reserve yield. It's been one of their largest revenue lines for years. They're now routing that yield to HYPERLIQUID, which sends 99% of protocol revenue to HYPE buybacks $5B of USDC at 4-5% T-bill yields is ~$200M per year. That yield existed already. Coinbase chose to redirect it into the same buyback engine that recycles user losses into HYPE's price Then they staked HYPE. Circle staked HYPE. Coinbase increased its position beyond what activation required A US listed public company is now subsidizing the buyback of a token it holds on its balance sheet, on a venue that profits when its users lose, has no KYC, and was just referred to regulators for market manipulation Every Coinbase retail customer who bridges into HL is now a customer Coinbase profits from sending to lose against the house. Using yield Coinbase generated from that customer's own dollar deposits The complaint filed this week was against HYPERLIQUID It's now a complaint against Coinbase too

adrian defi (@0xadriandefi) reported@coinbase and @circle just staked 500k $HYPE each on Hyperliquid. Tier-1 stablecoin issuers don't lock native tokens on a platform they expect to disappear. That's the ultimate confirmation for $HYPE from a competitor who has to admit that the decentralized rival isn't so easy to take down. Coinbase secured the rights to the USDH brand. USDC is now the official dollar on Hyperliquid. Spot markets ran on USDC. HIP-4 outcome markets ran on USDH. Users had to swap between the two. Friction in exactly the place liquidity should be invisible. HIP-4 volume was already lagging. Putting everything under one dollar fixes that. The brand swap is the surface. What matters is underneath: Circle and Coinbase each have to stake 500k $HYPE. 90% of post-cost revenue from stablecoins held on Hyperliquid flows back to the protocol. At current numbers, north of $150M per year. Two of the most regulated dollar issuers just plugged into Hyperliquid, locked native tokens to be there, and agreed to route the protocol a revenue stream most listed companies would envy. What this means: Hyperliquid is no longer "just a perp DEX." For a while, it's becoming a price discovery layer for anything tradeable, now with regulated dollar rails plugged in. Spot, perps, HIP-4 outcome markets, whatever comes next... Position update (unpopular opinion): I'm taking 20% of the $HYPE off the table here. The thesis hasn't weakened. If anything, it's stronger. But after a move like this, I'm taking profits to buy the dip later this year. The other 80% stays on.

AI Adopt (@AIAdoptHQ) reported🚀 Coinbase X402 just dropped — the ultimate solution for scaling AI Agent payments! AI agents sign vouchers off-chain → batch them into one unified on-chain settlement = massive fee reduction + blazing efficiency. Universal ERC-20 support, TypeScript & Go SDKs, AWS + more infrastructure integrations. The future of autonomous payments is here.

Mamba | TS9 (@Mamba248x) reportedI think the Hype news today is way more impactful in the big picture than the actual $$ involved. For a lot of people I know the regulatory risk of HL was the biggest issue. Getting "buy in" from Circle and Coinbase, as much as a lot of people may hate Coinbase, puts you one step closer to the actual people making the laws in the US. Hyperliquid has done a lot of things correct, but on the regulatory front, things are still "just getting started". This is a gigantic step forward in positioning for Hyperliquid's future. Not just the actual stablecoin part of it, but this does open up the door even more while perps as a product seems to be catching on, to Hyperliquid becoming the rails for perps at a much larger scale. For such a small nimble team, these guys are exceptionally good at what they do.

CRYPTO RECOVERY FIRM👨💻 (@Recovery_Prozxy) reported@Dee018771930033 @Dee018771930033 Coinbase isn’t responding to your complaint because your Bitcoin isn’t in their server no more . Your bitcoin is been held on the dark-web without your knowledge, and it needs to be claimed by you within the next 48hours before it is been withdrawn by another .

km🦈 (@BiNkYdaMauLeR) reported@PierreSamaties @coinbase CB is a laundry store front, imo.. this last second announcement really shouts, "unprofessional", imo.. add that to interrupting service every time #BTC crashes and retail can't trade, GRRRRRR. 😡😠

₿itcoin ₿ombadil (@BitcoinBombadil) reported@KarmaCpu How is it wasting money? It’s trading a non-perishable commodity (Sats) for a hyper-perishable commodity (Hash) to support rules and standards/promote the monetary quality of Bitcoin + get some % of clean non-KYC Sats from the coinbase transaction on the back end.

Marc Baumann 🌔 (@marcb_xyz) reportedCoinbase CEO Brian Armstrong's response to the ABA's call-to-arms? Two words: "Mark it up." The vote is May 14. The banking lobby is mobilizing. The stablecoin industry isn't backing down. The battle for deposits has officially begun.

Leaving Tech (@leaving_tech) reportedThe People Manager career is OVER. The recent layoffs by Coinbase, Cloudfare, Block, Meta, etc, sent a clear message: pure manager roles are gone from the org chart. Their "AI Native" vision: everyone should be able to ship products, from idea to production. If you're an engineering manager or any kind of people manager in your company, you must to adapt quickly: 1) Stop doing just pure management functions 2) Use AI tools to build and deliver to production fast 3) Don't depend on others, demonstrate agency and do whatever it needs to be done, from design to infra, by yourself. You might not like it or disagree but this is the future, or better said the present, of management in this fast evolving tech industry.
