We’re working on extending human lifespan at NewLimit. Our thesis is that major diseases are correlated with aging, so we may be able to prevent these by restoring function that was present in younger cells.

Update on Coinbase 🛡️ account restrictions The team has been working hard to improve resolution times (see self-serve flow in the app now, and corresponding drop in resolution times). This combined with better ML models (with fewer false positives) has made a major improvement in this issue. Still more to do, but already in a much better place today.

I built this Coinbase plugin for Omarchy Linux. View your portfolio balance, track any asset, and easily trade any asset on Coinbase. Coinbase also connects in to your favorite agent in Omarchy. The vision of an AI-enabled operating system is coming together. Thx DHH for your infectious enthusiasm. To install: omarchy plugin add --enable

We’ve set the standard with Coinbase Tokenized Stocks. No synthetics or debt instruments, real fully-backed securities, redeemable for the underlying shares, with dividends integrated, and voting rights coming soon. That means access for global investors and institutions to the $70T+ US stock market built on a solid foundation.

The biggest financial shift of our lifetime is starting, and Coinbase was built for this moment. Every asset on earth (stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate, etc) is going to move onchain. The hundred-trillion-dollar financial system is being updated, faster than the incumbents can react. A handful of companies will own the rails for this new system. Coinbase is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this generational transformation. We just released our latest earnings where we talk about our progress here. It was a tough market in Q2. Despite this, we continued to execute on the things in our control and build through the noise. Some highlights: - We store the most crypto in the world, and are the leading stablecoin platform - 90%+ of agentic stablecoin transaction volume was on Base - New ATH in our crypto trading volume market share (10.3%) - Revenue has significantly diversified beyond trading - Prediction markets revenue more than doubled, +106% QoQ

CLARITY is closer than ever. The bill is strong. It will benefit the American people by making the US financial system faster, cheaper and more accessible. It will also ensure that the US leads in the global race to build the next generation of our financial system. Huge thank you to the Senate, their staff, and 3.7m Stand With Crypto🛡️ advocates for helping to get this legislation to where it is today. Mark it up.

It’s time to make America the crypto capital of the world. President Donald J. Trump and the current administration have done an excellent job of moving us towards this. Now we need to get Clarity done.

The Clarity Act is ready for a full Senate floor vote. The bill represents a true bipartisan compromise with thousands of hours of work on both sides, and it couldn't come at a better time. The status quo in the U.S. isn't working. There's no federal framework, so bad actors like FTX can harm U.S. customers and much of the industry has gone offshore totally outside U.S. purview. This bill fixes that with strong consumer protections, real tools for law enforcement, and a path for America to lead in this industry. Crypto can't be uninvented at this point, so whether you love crypto or hate crypto, you should want clear federal laws. And it's also simply good politics: 70% of American voters say the U.S. should have already passed comprehensive crypto legislation. Let's finish this! Special thanks to the Stand With Crypto🛡️ members who sent 950k contacts to their representatives in congress. Keep it up.

The Clarity Act delivers clear rules for crypto. Most banks realize that’s not a threat, it’s an opportunity. The win for everyone is having this industry built right here in America.

Congrats to Ramdingler for winning the Polytopia world champs! Looks like I was right to be long Yaddak 🙂 Subscribe to his Youtube channel here: I expect all the finalists will go on to do great things, and I’m happy Coinbase could contribute a small part to the world championship.

Onchain capital formation is still one of the biggest opportunities in crypto. We’re working on it.

Today’s message from President Donald J. Trump was clear: This Administration is committed to passing the Clarity Act — answering voters’ call for consistent rules for crypto. Regulators $ATKINS and Mike Selig are aligned, Congress has set a date, and the entire industry is ready to get this across the finish line. 67M Americans own crypto, and they want this legislation. I’m confident the Senate will listen. Contact your lawmakers today — let’s get this done!

One of the simplest ways I explain crypto: It’s just faster, cheaper, more efficient financial services. The old system was invented in the ~1970s and is still running on outdated mainframes in some cases. That’s why basic things like weekend transfers or cheap wires still don’t work. This is why we need the Clarity Act, so the US can lead with clear rules instead of letting outdated systems and uncertainty win.

There’s a generational shift happening, and Coinbase is uniquely positioned to capture it: 1) The onchain economy has reached escape velocity 2) Coinbase's full stack platform is powering it 3) The next frontier is agentic and on Coinbase Our thesis is simple: crypto is the best form of money, and the infrastructure will overhaul the existing financial system. If it involves money, it will involve crypto. Coinbase is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this transformation. Some highlights from our earnings today: - Gained share in both spot and derivatives globally, reaching an all-time high in crypto trading volume market share - Saw huge growth in derivatives trading volume, driven by our Everything Exchange - 10x increase in stablecoin transaction volume on Base - USDC on our platform hit another all-time high - >90% of onchain agentic stablecoin transaction volume is on Base - 12 consecutive quarters of net native unit inflows- customers have been adding more crypto to Coinbase every quarter

The President very astutely recognized there are millions of Americans who felt disenfranchised by the prior Administration’s attack on crypto. It’s time to get the Clarity Act, which will protect consumers, over the finish line. There is something in it for everyone: banks, law enforcement, crypto companies, and most importantly the American people.

Satoshi famously said “If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.” Yet somehow I do find myself trying to convince people at times :) Crypto is disrupting the financial system, and it's getting more rare to find true skeptics out there. But a few holdouts do still exist. We should explain it as much as is necessary to make it happen.
