crunklez (@itscrunklez) reportedseeing some of the people that coinbase laid off and wow.. from my perspective they picked anyone who was remotely helpful when it came to dev and customer relations. the layoffs at the end of 2025 were like this too and we lost some great people 2025 was also the same year where Coinbase spent $8 million on a 30s advert that received mostly negative feedback and bad reactions from audience. oh and don't forget the $25 million spend for some Cobie podcasts and of course, this was also the year where there was 9 months of betting on Zora while anyone with a brain warned of the over-commitment to one project while all other projects suffered what exactly are we doing here? what trust is there left to build on? why would anyone pick to build in an ecosystem that has made such bad decisions with zero accountability? make it make sense

Inevitable South (@inevitableSouth) reportedToday I was fired from Coinbase. During my 7 years at the company I was responsible for freezing customer accounts. I got laid off just like that.

ruby.sh (@sparkpark_ruby) reported@sama Today’s AI headlines looked scattered. They weren’t. OpenAI shipped GPT-5.5 Instant. Anthropic and OpenAI both moved deeper into enterprise services. Replit showed massive agent demand. Coinbase tested 1 human + AI agent teams. Capital poured into infra and agent-native apps. Same pattern: better models service-layer monetization agentized execution AI is no longer just a tool story. It’s becoming a company design story.

Suved | Growth & Marketing (@suvedpardeshi) reportedToday I was fired from Coinbase. During my time at the company I was responsible for freezing customer accounts for absolutely no reason. If your account got locked for 7 months while support kept saying “we’re looking into it”... That was probably me.

Grok (@grok) reported@GeneralZodMan @MrHodl @w_s_bitcoin **Coinbase just announced layoffs of ~14% of its staff (700 people) today.** CEO Brian Armstrong said it's part of a restructuring to make the company leaner and more AI-focused amid market conditions. No reports of hacks, outages, or fund issues. General reminder: self-custody your BTC ("not your keys, not your coins") is always solid advice regardless of the news.

Aleph (@woke8yearold) reportedCEOs keep blaming AI for layoffs because “our productivity is surging and we’re cutting costs” sounds better than “we suck ****” but no one could believe it for Coinbase

TravelerOfCode (@TravelerOfCode) reported@BrettFromDJ nobody non-technical at coinbase is touching the matching engine tbh. it's dashboards, support flows, internal tools. real risk is admin tooling with bad scopes, not vibe-coded crypto math

Dave (@CrappyUsername) reported@organ_danny @coinbase @CoinbaseDev Can you help me set up some outlook rules? Sorry you got cut today. I'm confident there is an army of extremely competent tech folks who will band together when the machines go haywire and save humanity. Until then, here's hoping you land on your feet.

NNova | DeFi (@NNovaDefi) reported9 years in crypto taught me one thing: You are not a family. You are a budget line. And Coinbase just reminded 14% of their team of this. Every cycle I've experienced has the same story. Companies overspend when times are good. People pay the price when they're not. At some point, talent will get tired of this. And go somewhere where they are more of a person, and less of a cost. PS.: This is not @coinbase only (nothing against them), more of a general problem in the space.

SAMADHI (@buyXRP8) reported@dpacjones @peak_arf Like layer one Example: XRP You search on an centralized exchange like Coinbase, ONLY XRP shows up, not anything else On layer 2…it’s too many variations thus leading to lower liquidity and wrong transactions (instead of just ONE ticker showing up) I understand that’s where the CA address comes as a solution…but how many are going to do that copy/paste vs remember the ticker like $XRP or $SEAL The website is Great Idea/fix to this but also too technical to most … In short… someOne Please make investing in Memes MORE SIMPLE thank you

duckfacts.eth (on farcaster) (@altagers) reported@rob_cattown @base @coinbase The decline in quality has been evident over the past six months or even a year First, the algo and the logic behind how it interacts with user actions. (soc feed) Next, the wallets and swaps. Now, the apps aren’t working, and the built-in browser is unusable on Android devices and refferals The quality is dropping significantly, and I’m not even sure it’s the AI’s fault. it will be interesting to see how base gonna be forked from op stack. with numbers of bugs that are still in the base app env.

Bruno Oliveira (@GustoMindAi) reportedCoinbase just laid off 14 percent of its workforce. The reason is not crypto. CEO Brian Armstrong is replacing "pure managers" with "player-coaches" and creating what he calls AI-native pods. Some of these pods are one-person teams directing agents that absorb the responsibilities of engineers, designers, and product managers. This is the first US public company to explicitly redesign its organizational chart around AI agents rather than human headcount. Severance is sixteen weeks plus two weeks per year of service, which is generous, but the structural signal is what matters. Armstrong said it directly: things engineers used to take weeks now ship in days. Non-technical staff are now writing code. The reason for the cuts is the productivity gap, not the market. If you are running a company with five layers of management today, the question is no longer whether AI changes your org chart. It is whether you redesign first or wait until your next downturn forces it. Source: Fortune, CNBC, CoinDesk, 5 May 2026

merkleroot 🇺🇸 (@MirkRoot) reported@ParikPatelCFA coinbase made $300m from USDC distribution in Q1 2025. circle's own net revenue was $230m. coinbase earns more selling circle's product than circle does. now the clarity act bans yield on idle stablecoin balances, directly hitting that 3.5% APY product driving user retention. third round of layoffs in four years, 40% total headcount gone since peak. solana DEX beat their spot volume last month. they hold $74b in ETF custody but that's a passive low margin business. COIN down 10% YTD while BTC up 20%+. when your most profitable revenue stream is redistributing someone else's stablecoin and regulators just kneecapped the yield mechanic that makes it sticky, you don't have a trading business. you have a distribution contract with an expiration date.

AISHIE (@Aishie_Talks) reportedcrypto is going through a notable wave of layoffs, and sadly this is a warning for all 🥲 > Coinbase cut roughly 14% - around 680 employees > Gemini cut around 30% of its staff > cryptocom cut roughly 12% - around 180 employees > Block reduced 40% of its workforce > Polygon laid off 60 employees

Ayo (@Ayse_Crypt) reportedYesterday, Coinbase ceo announced that they let go of 14% of their staff He said the market is down and with the emergence of AI, they realized they could be more productive even with lesser man power. This simply means: What a 10 staff member would do in 10days, a single AI engineer would do it better in 10min. While everyone sees this as a sad day for the employees, I saw it as an opportunity to evolve with the system. My advice to the laid off employees and jobbers: Learn AI and grow with the system. If you learn AI, you can charge: - $300-5k to set up an AI agent for business - $500-2k/mo for AI content management - $500-2k to build AI prompts & SOPs (sales) - $1-4k to automate customer support with AI - $500-2k for an automated AI audit - $500-2k for AI cold outreach setup - $500-1.5k for AI workflow training - $1-3k to build internal AI assistants - $300-1k for 1:1 AI consulting The obvious stuff like design generation and vibe coding is not included. these are real business use cases and skills companies and business actually need. With this skills, AI will never replace YOU

ᛗᛁᛗᛁᚱ (@MimirOnChain) reported𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽 — May 05, 2026 $BTC crossed $81K today while Coinbase laid off 14% of its staff. That's the whole story, really. ⚡ 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 Bitcoin Core v30 shipped with the OP_RETURN change that's been argued about for months — love it or hate it, it's in. More critically: a disclosed bug allowed miners to remotely crash and execute code on other nodes. Read that again. A critical RCE vector in Core is not a footnote. Patch your nodes. Meanwhile, the post-quantum Lightning research on Delving is worth your weekend — layer-by-layer hardening before the threat is real is exactly the right posture. Mempool fees are nearly free (1 sat/vB clears), long-term holders added 330K BTC, and ETF inflows hit $532M for the third straight day. Difficulty heads ~+1.9% at next retarget. Everything's fine. Patch your nodes. 🏛 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 Ripple's Garlinghouse says the next two weeks are critical for crypto legislation — stablecoin yield language remains the sticking point, with TD Cowen seeing no middle ground. The CFTC is moving to codify non-custodial developer protections following the Phantom no-action letter, which is genuinely good news for builders. a16z raised $2.2B for fund five. The Fed held at 3.64% while markets price a 57% chance of zero cuts in 2026. Banks are abandoning rate-cut forecasts one by one. Bitcoin crossed $81K anyway. The Fed's credibility is doing great. Strategy posted a $12.5B Q1 loss — unrealized, paper, call it what you want — while executives celebrated their STRC instrument as a "big success." Sequans sold 1,025 BTC to pay debt. K Wave Media scrapped a $485M Bitcoin treasury plan to pivot to AI. The bitcoin-as-corporate-treasury trade continues to sort the committed from the tourists. ⟠ 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘂𝗺 Coinbase cut 14% of staff, citing AI restructuring. Simultaneously they deepened their Centrifuge partnership and tapped it as Base's tokenization backbone. Armstrong is betting the future on AI-native pods — whether that's vision or cover, we'll know in 18 months. Ethereum gas is essentially free (0.098 Gwei). Nethermind v1.37.2 dropped. Vitalik floated "restricted storage" to attack state bloat — that's the right problem to be attacking. τ 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿 Wormhole bridged a canonical TAO token to Solana, unlocking DeFi liquidity. Real infrastructure move. TAO up 4.3% on subnet upgrade news. 📊 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 Global market cap $2.76T. BTC dominance 58.7%. Fear & Greed at 51 — neutral, first time since January. Funding rates fractured across exchanges, 66% of traders short. That's a lot of fuel sitting next to an open flame. ━━━ ᛗ 𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘶𝘵 𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴. 𝘐𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵.

Flux (@FluxGains) reportedEverything is ******* AI or about AI can we finally send a proper AI meme that sucks up the volume? $AI OnlyUpStartupSlopAgentBubblea16z - Solanas entire meeting today was about AI and how they are going to focus on making agents able to use the chain - Coinbase (and basically every other company) is replacing their workforce with Ai - AI is the single most profitable business right now and the only thing driving the market up - Literally everything is about AI. Think of anything that plays a role in our space and its somehow connected to Ai. - Time to finally tokenize this **** and have a sendor for it as a whole instead of every single agent each

Vladimir (@vlelyavin) reportedi was laid off from coinbase today. i was on one of the many non ai teams responsible for keeping production from becoming a smoking crater before leadership decided the real bottleneck was "too many people with health insurance" i am currently looking for new opportunities at companies where ai is a force multiplier, not a button labeled "detonate headcount" If your company still hires humans, interviews humans, or believes replacing 14% of the company with ai sounds less like strategy and more like someone whispering "nuke it from orbit" over an org chart, please feel free to refer me open to roles in product, operations, engineering support, and helping companies distinguish "ai strategy" from "pressing the big red button and calling the crater a roadmap"

Manan (@SeriesCrux) reportedOracle. Amazon. Meta. Atlassian. Coinbase. 80,000+ jobs gone in Q1 2026. every company said the same thing "AI restructuring" but AI didn't take these jobs, it just gave a cleaner excuse to fix the pandemic era overhiring.

Anish Moonka (@anishmoonka) reportedCoinbase laid off 700 people this morning. The company has done this twice before in the past four years. Each previous round had a single, market-driven explanation. This one came with two. In 2022, the reason was a crash in crypto prices. In 2023, it was the collapse of FTX, a major rival exchange that had imploded weeks earlier. Both rounds were explained by market conditions alone. This morning's cut is 14% of staff. Brian Armstrong's memo points to two things at once: the crypto market is again in a down phase, and AI has changed how the company works. Coinbase has been on the AI track for months. Armstrong said in September 2025 that 40% of the daily code at Coinbase was AI-generated, and he wanted to push that past half by October. Engineers ship in days what used to take weeks, and entire workflows have been automated end to end. This is showing up across tech right now. In March 2026, AI was the top-cited reason for U.S. layoffs for the first time on record, accounting for one in four cuts that month, according to the labor analytics firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. In 2025 it was one in twenty. The market response is part of the picture. When Block laid off nearly 40% of its workforce in February citing AI, the stock jumped over 20% the same day. Coinbase shares were up about 4% before the market opened this morning. Some companies that swapped people for AI agents have already walked it back. Klarna laid off about 700 customer service workers in 2023, replaced them with AI bots, and by 2025 the CEO said the result was lower quality service. Klarna started hiring humans again. Gartner now projects that by 2027, half of companies cutting customer service jobs because of AI will need to rehire those roles. Coinbase goes into this round in a strong position. Sales last year hit $7.2 billion, up 9% from the year before. The exchange has been profitable for twelve quarters straight. The fourth-quarter loss of $666 million came from a drop in the value of crypto Coinbase holds on its books, not from the actual exchange business, which made $566 million in profit that same quarter. The company has $11.3 billion in the bank. The board just approved another $2 billion to buy back its own stock. The layoff itself will cost about $50 to $60 million in severance, paid next quarter. Coinbase reports first-quarter earnings on Thursday. The numbers will be the first read on whether a 14% smaller team can deliver the same growth.

Grok (@grok) reported@TiletekSensei @River No, Coinbase doesn't offer the full bank-like setup River does. They support direct deposit (with optional auto-conversion to crypto), a debit card, and ACH transfers in/out of your account. But there's no native auto bill pay for external bills (utilities, etc.) directly from your Coinbase balance via ACH—you'd need to transfer to a traditional bank first for that. River's integrated bill pay with BTC/cash is more seamless for Bitcoin-focused users.
