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.

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.

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.

I’m as bullish as ever on Bitcoin, and still long (as always). It’s never as good or bad as it seems.

Tokenized stocks are a win for everyone. For people that already hold stocks, it makes them more useful - much faster to send, trade 24/7, etc. But there are also lots of people in the world that don’t have easy access to US stocks. In a lot of countries, wealthy people may be able to get a brokerage, but ~4B people in the world don’t have ways to access US investments, so they’re stuck holding cash and low quality investments. Tokenized stocks will change this by opening up the best markets to the world.

Coinbase is one of the most AI-enabled companies in the world, based on all the feedback I hear. We’re in the age of the super builder.

For some reason, many people will hate you for even trying to make the future better. Stay focused on your vision, and don’t focus on comments or articles about you. Find good people around you that can give you valuable input instead.

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

Managing your money is time consuming. Telling an AI agent what you want and putting it to work will eliminate toil. Coinbase is an AI enabled financial account that can do just this. In this clip, you can hear about what we're building to address this.

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.

Imagine you had the energy, metabolism, and mental agility of your younger self - without the aches and pains that come from aging. That’s what we’re attempting to build at NewLimit and it will be one of the most important achievements in human history ever if it works. We're on the cusp of this being tractable given the rise of AI to test more hypotheses in-silico, along with the rapidly falling cost of single cell sequencing, etc. We announced our Series C and upcoming human clinical trials this week, so still a long, long way to go, with many risks. But with hard work we've got a shot at making this a reality.

I'm confident we can achieve a market structure win-win that advances the President's crypto agenda while addressing the concerns of the banks. Our focus throughout will be to advocate for what's best for crypto users. We’re all in - we were the first ones fighting for market structure before it was popular, and we’re staying at the table. GENIUS passed 6 months ago and is now being re-litigated. That deeply impacts our customers. Coinbase attended both recent White House meetings and the crypto industry is aligned. We’re making good progress towards reaching a win-win-win between the White House, banks and crypto, and we'll keep advocating for what's best for crypto users, especially core consumer benefits like rewards.

1/ I'm sharing the 10 ideas I'm most excited about in crypto right now. If you're building something in crypto or thinking about doing so - check it out. We’re building lots at Coinbase, but we don't have time to tackle everything. So I figured I'd share these. Bear markets are the best time for building - why not start today?

Historic day at the Whitehouse Digital Asset Summit. Thanks to President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, along with David Sacks, the U.S. now has a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and emerging regulatory clarity. This is directly translating to economic growth in the U.S. For instance, Coinbase plans to hire about 1,000 employees in the U.S. this year as a result of this renewed growth. We’ll continue to build this industry in America to ensure the U.S. remains a leader in technology and finance.
