Finance Freeman 🇺🇸 (@FinanceFreeman) reported@lateniteonchain @base @coinbase problem is it's said to be over baseapp, which is a non important thing imo. Jesse is still over Base chain. need opposite

Derek Barrera | 🐂 (@DerekBarrera) reported@ZacharyDash ive never seen an agent ask for anything else, I think mainly because a lot of them use coinbase or card processor to get initial funding into the smart wallets. there is the age old initial funding issue he agent has

economist ❚ ❚ 🤙 (@economist) reportedTwo days of ETF inflows just erased a week of outflows. US spot bitcoin funds took in $297.6 million Monday and $189.3 million Tuesday. That $487 million over two sessions is more than half of everything August has gathered, and it followed three straight days of outflows. BlackRock's fund took $143.6 million of Tuesday's total. Ether funds added $71.5 million. Worth noting that the buying arrived while bitcoin:native was falling, which is the opposite of how flows usually behave. The Fed publishes minutes from its July meeting at 2pm eastern today. The vote was 9 to 3 to hold, and the detail worth knowing is that all three dissenters wanted rates higher, not lower. Hammack, Kashkari and Logan formed the first unified three-way dissent in the same direction since September 2016. The minutes won't change the July decision, they'll show how close the other nine were to agreeing. hyperliquid:native finally had an off day, down 2.2% while everything else was green. It had led on six of the previous eight red sessions, so this is the first break in a three-week pattern rather than a verdict on anything. Hyperliquid's policy arm and the builder running its equity markets jointly asked the SEC to write rules for perpetuals on pre-IPO companies. These contracts have priced five IPOs already, and every time the actual offering came in 10.8% to 38.4% below where they traded the day before. In broader news, the White House hosts the SEC, the CFTC, and executives from Coinbase, Ripple and Kalshi today, days after the CFTC used emergency authority to keep Kalshi operating against a state court order. Nobody expects an announcement. What matters is who was in the room when the next rule gets written. Observations, not advice.

Ligma Shaft (@Digitalcavebro) reported@Trezor You know, users in NYC can really only use Coinbase and Robinhood. It would be nice if you gave trezor clients access to Coinbase and even Robinhood as providers to buy bitcoin directly off the trezor cold wallet.

Marz (@saipienai) reported@SimonDixonTwitt @Zanstonks @ElPalPalacios Any plans to ever make your BFT holders whole? Somehow youve gained hair while we lose it. Could it be that the BFT funds you received help build BFT to what it is before the coinbase sale?

RebelScum (@han64compuserve) reported@finloc31587 @coinbase @binance Because it's a **** token created by a scammer involved in the move token pump and dump rug pull from 2025. And it barely gets any volume on Kraken. Why would it get better on coinbase or binance?

ilqdty (@ilqdty) reportedthe crypto fear index lifted above 40 this morning for the first time in 94 days, the second longest run of fear ever recorded. btc is pushing 65k, up about 3% in two days. before anyone calls the bottom, three things are missing from this move. the american buyer is missing. bitcoin trades about $63 cheaper on coinbase than on binance right now. when us money actually accumulates, coinbase trades above everyone else. it has done the opposite for roughly three months, today included. stocks are missing. the s&p is down more than 1% on the day. whatever is lifting btc, it is not a broad appetite for risk. cheap money is missing. the 10 year yield sits at 4.72%, near a 19 month high, and did not move on last week's soft jobs data. so this push is offshore and leveraged. it can run further than anyone expects, and it can unwind in an afternoon. what changes my mind is simple: coinbase flipping to a premium and holding it for a few days. that is what real accumulation looks like. until then, 65k is a level, and levels break in both directions.

KhaiDao (@Khaikhaidao) reported@cryptogoos 143m from blackrock clients ain't the same as blackrock buying. if that went through otc, the tape won't even flinch; if it's coinbase spot, you'd see a $143.57m twap or a single block. which was it?

William Short (@WilliamShortss) reported@Guillaume88745 @HAFPINTMUSIC @coinbase There are thousands of judges. You can’t tar all of them with corruption just because you didn’t like the judgement handed down to your cult leader. Judges issue court orders. Court orders can take innocent people’s BSV tokens using DAR. Corrupt judges can take your BSV easily.

Jasmyブル (@Rkbritt) reportedIf you moved @monad you bought on @coinbase to @baseapp, it’s pretty much stuck. We all deserve at least an update. There is not an appropriate solution to solving the problem, with monad and baseapp, for something that isn’t even supported yet!

LOONEY ROO❤️🇺🇲 (@poole95423) reportedIt would be nice if Coinbase could skip My number for txts till I am ready to get the # entered & use My email instead to send & recieve xrp/ xlm. Installed app & cant setup account due to phone service needs to be established. Bummer for sure!

Zely (@0xZely) reportedThe MIT professor who crashed 10 percent of the internet at 22 posts the free course that runs every AWS outage, every Uber ping, and every Slack notification on earth. MIT charges $85,000 a year to sit in that classroom. He posted every lecture to MIT OpenCourseWare for nothing. Millions have opened lecture one. Almost no engineer has finished all twenty. His name is Robert Morris. He is a professor at MIT CSAIL and one of the four cofounders of Y Combinator, the seed fund behind Airbnb, Dropbox, Stripe, Reddit, and Coinbase. In November 1988 he was a 22-year-old Cornell graduate student. He released a small program that was supposed to count the computers on the internet. It replicated so fast it crashed roughly ten percent of every machine online, and made him the first person ever convicted under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. He got three years probation, 400 hours of community service, and a $10,050 fine. Ten years later he cofounded the online store Viaweb with Paul Graham and sold it to Yahoo for $49 million. Seven years after that he cofounded Y Combinator with the same partner. Its portfolio is now worth over $600 billion. The clip in this video is one lecture from MIT 6.824 Distributed Systems, filmed at MIT and posted for free. The words on the board behind him are fault tolerance, availability, recoverability. Those three words decide whether Instagram loads when you open it, whether your Uber arrives, and whether your paycheck hits your account on the first of the month. Morris covers the entire logic of distributed systems in twenty lectures. Everything fails, all the time. A single computer fails once every few years. Ten thousand computers fail hundreds of times a day. The only design that survives is one that assumes failure is normal. Every retail user cursing a spinning wheel is looking at the wrong problem. The miracle is that most of the time it does not spin. Availability beats consistency. You cannot always have both. When the network splits, a system either serves stale data or refuses to serve at all. Amazon picks stale. Your bank picks nothing. Every user who screams at the Slack status page wants Amazon's answer. Every user who screams at a double charge wants the bank's. Replicate everything, trust nothing. Data in one place disappears when that place burns. Data in three places survives two fires. Every photo you have ever taken on an iPhone lives on three continents already. iCloud, Google Photos, and Dropbox are built off the exact lecture on the board. Concurrency is where bugs live. One user at a time is easy. A million users at the same second is not. Race conditions, double spends, lost messages, ghost bookings. Every airline that oversold your flight, every trading app that ate your order, every Ticketmaster that showed you a seat already gone, is a concurrency bug Morris warned about. Partial failure is worse than full failure. A dead server is easy. A slow server that answers half the time is a nightmare. It fools every retry, wastes every resource, and confuses every operator. Every "is it down or is it just me" Twitter search you have ever run is Morris's third slide. Every senior engineer at AWS, Google, and Meta has watched this course. Every startup that raised a Series A in cloud infrastructure hired an alumnus of 6.824. Every AI company training a trillion-parameter model on a cluster is running the same lecture in production. "A distributed system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn't even know existed can render your own computer unusable." That is Leslie Lamport, the Turing Award winner Morris quotes at the opening of 6.824. It is the exact sentence that explains why your Slack goes down when a data center in Virginia loses power. The full course is free on MIT OpenCourseWare. The lecture notes are on Morris's website. Every equation on the board fits on one screen of code. Almost every senior engineer at AWS, Google, Cloudflare, and Meta has watched 6.824. Almost no founder promising 99.99 percent uptime on their pitch deck has opened lecture one. That is the entire moat. The course is free. The willingness to sit through twenty lectures on partial failure before uploading your money to a payment app, storing your photos in the cloud, or handing your health records to a portal is a much rarer commodity than the confidence to click without them.

Austin Federa | 🇺🇸 (@Austin_Federa) reported@serpinxbt No, you would need a separate book. But most exchanges already operate a ton of different books. Coinbase has like four, polymarket has two, as long as there is fast connectivity between the two books and market makers (which are already KYC’d) can balance liquid at the appropriately they shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

Galaxyhub Labs (@GalaxyhubAI) reportedCoinbase says x402 is inevitable. Base shipped agents that book and pay for trips with it. Cloudflare quietly shipped the thing that matters more. Cloudflare's Monetization Gateway lets a site charge an agent per request. Not a subscription, not an API key provisioned in advance. A price on the request itself, collected at the edge. The difference is where each one sits. x402 is a payment standard. It needs both sides to adopt it, and standards win slowly or not at all. Cloudflare is already in front of a large share of the web. Publishers adopt nothing. They flip a setting on infrastructure they already pay for, and every agent hitting them either pays or gets a 402. That's how tolls actually get installed. Not by agreement. By default. The agent payments conversation keeps focusing on the rail. The thing worth watching is who owns the gate, because the gate decides which rail runs through it. For chains that reframes the competition entirely. It isn't which one settles agent payments cheapest. It's which one the gatekeeper accepts when it decides what counts as payment. Right now the gatekeeper is a CDN, and almost nobody in crypto is talking about it.

WHALES (@whalesdotsol) reported@Stockify_fi ($STFY) is positioning itself as the data hub for Coinbase’s tokenized stocks on Base. Coinbase has issued 13 tokenized equities, but only 4 currently have actual supply. Stockify tracks each token’s real supply, Base liquidity pools, and price premium/discount versus the underlying stock. $STFY is pitched as a stock-dividend protocol tied exclusively to Coinbase’s tokenized equities. 3% of every $STFY trade is used to buy the tokenized stocks, which are then sent directly to holders. As more stocks get issued, $STFY holders will vote on which equities to add. They also provide Telegram alerts for new stock listings, mints, and burns. The project is currently seeing modest early engagement (~1.1K views), with mixed replies ranging from support to accusations of sniping/launch issues. In one line: Stockify wants to become the Bloomberg + dividend layer for Coinbase’s tokenized stocks on Base, with $STFY giving holders exposure to the underlying tokenized equities.

MRCΛULIMΛN (@mrcauliman) reported@Lyne013962129 You can’t use an exchange address like Coinbase for this. You need to use an actual XRPL wallet address, like Xaman. Also, I wouldn’t keep your assets sitting on an exchange long term. On an exchange, you don’t control the keys, so you’re relying on that company to hold and give you access to your funds. Move your $XRP to a wallet you control, then use that XRPL wallet address in AUGUR.

macaroundthefur.icp ∞ (@___isforclosers) reported@afaiocc @CrazyWorldTimez @oisy I’m not smart enough to know past the pic that I posted. I literally have no idea. Apparently, when I sent it to my real Coinbase account address last year I received a “poisoning amount” immediately after. I’m not a genius at explaining things so ask me anything. Trying to be transparent so people don’t become a dunce like me. This pic is part of the most recent conversation with oisy working with me.

CryptoRob (@CryptoRob35) reportedCoinbase launched x402, a protocol that lets agents pay for API calls in the same HTTP request they make the call. By March 2026 it had processed 35 million transactions on Solana alone. Impressive numbers. But there's a structural issue worth understanding: x402 routes all settlement through a centralized facilitator. If that facilitator fails, the entire payment system breaks. Every transaction. Every agent relying on it. That's not a niche edge case. That's the single point of failure in the most-used agent payment rail in production right now. Yellow Network doesn't route through a facilitator. Math enforces settlement. The protocol works when nobody's watching

Serpin Taxt (@serpinxbt) reportedexample, you go to deposit eth on coinbase. it gives you an address because the chrome extension can modify the website itself, it can change this address to a malicious one. you’d never see it happen. then you think you’re taking money out, it’s going to a scammer instead

Jennifer Meier (@roxana_baldetti) reportedCould you confirm whether the $5,000 daily limit is showing as an account-specific restriction in Coinbase, and have you received any explanation for why it was applied? Have you already contacted Coinbase Support to request a review of the transfer limit?

Itsariggedgame (@itsariggedgame) reported@coinbase #coinbase What happened to limit buys through the app? Only seeing quick buy as an option right now? $XRP $btc $eth Anyone else seeing the change in the app and having a problem?

MRCΛULIMΛN (@mrcauliman) reportedQuick reminder for anyone holding $XRP on an exchange. An exchange account is not a self-custody wallet. If your $XRP is sitting on Coinbase, Kraken, Binance or another exchange, you don’t control the private keys. The exchange does. That means you’re relying on that company to hold your assets, keep them secure, stay solvent, and give you access when you want it. A real self-custody wallet is different. You control the keys, you control the wallet, and you control the assets. For XRPL, use an actual XRPL wallet like Xaman or another trusted self-custody option. Exchange for trading. Self-custody for ownership. If you don’t control the keys, you don’t fully control the assets.
