@brian_armstrong hey brian USDT is still not recoverable from the asset recovery tool why is that? whats the point of a recovery too when the most used stable coin cannot be recovered?

@brian_armstrong Hey brian any updates on the recovery tool?

You have zero control over where you're born, yet billions of people in the world are shut out of accessing financial tools because of it. Finally, this is changing with crypto. Getting access to sound money, loans, stocks, etc from your phone anywhere in the world is foundational to progress.

To our STBL community, We’re mindful that ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are affecting many - including members of our community and team. Our thoughts are with everyone navigating uncertainty during this time. The safety and wellbeing of our employees, partners, and community members remain our top priority. We stand in solidarity with those impacted and remain committed to supporting our community. Stay strong. Stay safe & look out for one another.

@brian_armstrong Hey brian can we actually have some controll on our coinbase wallet address. Ive had funds stuck on arbitrum for over a year now and I dont believe there's any ongoing progress on allowing users to recover stable coins like usdt on layer 2 chains will there ever be a solution.

Market conditions like this usually spawn the best products, and the best memes. Ignore price, keep innovating. And post more memes.

@JanJekielek This has to change

“You either need to transition your child or you don’t get to keep your child.” Attorney Erin Friday says California Child Protective Services can threaten parents who refuse to use their child’s preferred pronouns. She told me she feared calling the police when her 13 year old daughter ran away because she worried CPS would take her child. “My daughter, who was 13 years old, just starting high school, was secretly socially transitioned at school.” “The school started to call my daughter by a male name, use male pronouns.” “When I called the school and told them to stop, that next week Child Protective Services was at my door.” “The next day, the police.” “That was an immediate alert to me that the school wants to parent my child.” “If I didn’t follow and call my daughter a boy, Child Protective Services may come and take my child away.” “Parents in Southern California had lost custody of their children because they wouldn’t transition their daughter.” “I already had a black mark, and a few months later my daughter ran away.” “The normal thing for a parent to do is to ask law enforcement to help find your child… but I couldn’t make that phone call.” “Because Child Protective Services can swoop in anytime and take my child.” “It’s coercion at its highest level.” “You don’t get to parent your child.” “This is America. This is insane.” @erinfriday75490

This is the real decentralization of stablecoins. STBL is the infrastructure for the next generation of money. We separate liquid settlement from yield generation - ensuring compliance while returning value to the ecosystems that generate it. By partnering with Hamilton Lane, Securitize, and OKX Ventures to launch an RWA-backed stablecoin on X Layer, we’re engineering how liquidity and yield are structured within digital capital markets. STBL - The Infrastructure Provides the Money-as-a-Service dual-token framework, enabling the creation of branded stable assets that separate settlement from yield generation. Hamilton Lane - The Asset Provides institutional-grade collateral via the Senior Credit Opportunities Fund (SCOPE), bringing private credit exposure to the stablecoin backing. Securitize - The Enabler Acts as the issuance and tokenization platform, enabling the feeder fund to exist compliantly onchain as a digital asset. OKX Ventures - The Backer Provides strategic investment to accelerate STBL’s mission. X Layer - The Network OKX’s EVM-compatible Layer-2 serves as the deployment environment, offering deep liquidity and seamless bridging. Hamilton Lane provides institutional-grade private credit exposure through the SCOPE fund, Securitize enables compliant tokenization, and STBL provides the underlying Money-as-a-Service architecture. Instead of relying on third-party issuers that retain most of the economic upside, X Layer introduces an Ecosystem-Specific Stablecoin (ESS) - shifting from renting liquidity to owning it. The yield generated by the underlying collateral is separate from the payment token itself. From a regulatory standpoint, the dual-token structure reflects the broader direction of stablecoin legislation. Recent proposals aim to restrict stablecoins from offering passive yield directly to holders. By separating the settlement asset from the yield component, the model aligns with compliance expectations while preserving flexibility for institutional use cases.

@VitalikButerin So you mean DeSo? A fully integrated layer-1 for social, content and finance.

Have been following reactions to what I said about L2s about 1.5 days ago. One important thing that I believe is: "make yet another EVM chain and add an optimistic bridge to Ethereum with a 1 week delay" is to infra what forking Compound is to governance - something we've done far too much for far too long, because we got comfortable, and which has sapped our imagination and put us in a dead end. If you make an EVM chain *without* an optimistic bridge to Ethereum (aka an alt L1), that's even worse. We don't friggin need more copypasta EVM chains, and we definitely don't need even more L1s. L1 is scaling and is going to bring lots of EVM blockspace - not infinite (AIs in particular will need both more blockspace and lower latency than even a greatly scaled L1 can offer), but lots. Build something that brings something new to the table. I gave a few examples: privacy, app-specific efficiency, ultra-low latency, but my list is surely very incomplete. A second important thing that I believe is: regarding "connection to Ethereum", vibes need to match substance. I personally am a fan of many of the things that can be called "app chains". For example I think there's a large chance that the optimal architecture for prediction markets is something like: the market gets issued and resolved on L1, user accounts are on L1, but trading happens on some based rollup or other L2-like system, where the execution reads the L1 to verify signatures and markets. I like architectures where deep connection to L1 is first-class, and not an afterthought ("we're pretty much a separate chain, but oh yeah, we have a bridge, and ok fine let's put 1-2 devs to get it to stage 1 so the l2beat people will put a green checkmark on it so vitalik likes us"). The other extreme of "app chain", eg. the version where you convince some government registry, or social media platform, or gaming thing, to start putting merkle roots of its database, with STARKs that prove every update was authorized and signed and executed according to a pre-committed algorithm, onchain, is also reasonable - this is what makes the most sense to me in terms of "institutional L2s". It's obviously not Ethereum, not credibly neutral and not trustless - the operator can always just choose to say "we're switching to a different version with different rules now". But it would enable verifiable algorithmic transparency, a property that many of us would love to see in government, social media algorithms or wherever else, and it may enable economic activity that would otherwise not be possible. I think if you're the first thing, it's valid and great to call yourself an Ethereum application - it can't survive without Ethereum even technologically, it maximizes interoperability and composability with other Ethereum applications. If you're the second thing, then you're not Ethereum, but you are (i) bringing humanity more algorithmic transparency and trust minimization, so you're pursuing a similar vision, and (ii) depending on details probably synergistic with Ethereum. So you should just say those things directly! Basically: 1. Do something that brings something actually new to the table. 2. Vibes should match substance - the degree of connection to Ethereum in your public image should reflect the degree of connection to Ethereum that your thing has in reality.

@coinbase When will you allow users to recover usdt on arbitrum chain?

Your questions → our earnings call. We’re going live on February 12, after posting our Q4 and full year 2025 financial results. Reply with your questions for the Coinbase team. We’ll answer the best ones live.

Stable asset infrastructure is now part of the core conversation! Great to see @rjvollono representing STBL alongside leaders from Visa, Mastercard, Aave & Kinexys at Digital Assets Forum.

@brian_armstrong @base @solana any updates on recovery tool will it every support usdt recovery for arbitrum?

Now you can trade millions of @base and @solana tokens on Coinbase, without waiting for a listing.

@arbitrum Can we push for support on coindase for arbchain ?

$3M settled onto Arbitrum in seconds with total gas under 25¢ For enterprises, it shows the platform’s guarantees: fast settlement, near-zero costs and infra that scales with transaction size and volume Reliable execution makes real onchain payment operations possible

The GENIUS Act banned issuers from sharing yield. Now the Clarity Bill draft closes the remaining loophole by extending that prohibition to “Digital Service Providers.” This outcome was always inevitable. A yield-paying, widely accessible U.S. stablecoin is fundamentally incompatible with the existing banking system. If retail users could hold a risk-free digital dollar that directly passes through money-market or T-bill yield, deposits would drain from commercial banks at scale. That would contract bank balance sheets, constrain lending, and ultimately undermine the mechanics of fractional-reserve banking itself. Once you accept that premise, the policy direction becomes obvious. Regardless of how hard crypto firms pushed for “yield on stables,” regulators were never going to permit a product that competes directly with insured bank deposits while sitting outside the banking perimeter. The GENIUS Act was the first clear signal of that reality. The Clarity Bill simply formalizes it by ensuring the restriction applies not just to issuers, but to anyone acting as an economic intermediary. This isn’t primarily about consumer protection. It’s about protecting the structure of the financial system. Stablecoins are being allowed to exist, but explicitly as transactional instruments, not as yield-bearing savings vehicles. That’s exactly why @stbl_official was designed with this constraint as a first-principles input, not a regulatory edge case to be arbitraged. Principal and yield are deliberately separated. The stable unit is built to function as money: liquid, transferable, compliant, and non-yielding. Yield still exists, but it accrues to a distinct instrument, with a clear economic role, defined access controls, and appropriate regulatory boundaries. Trying to force yield into the stablecoin itself was always going to fail. The only sustainable path forward is to design systems that respect the immovable lines regulators have drawn, while still enabling capital efficiency, programmability, and innovation around them. This isn’t a surprise. It’s the logical endpoint of how modern banking works. The faster the industry internalizes that reality, the faster we can stop fighting the system’s physics and start building durable financial infrastructure.

@Vivek4real_ He's doing the exact same thing trying to kill usdt at the expense of the American consumer I've had my usdt stuck on coinbase on arbchain for over a year now funny thing is coinbase supports arbitrum on the recovery tool but does not support usdt why because of usdc same thing

🇺🇸 COINBASE CEO JUST REVEALED LIVE ON CNBC THAT BANKS ARE TRYING TO KILL CRYPTO AND THE MARKET STRUCTURE BILL THIS IS WILD

@brian_armstrong Hey Brian you have support for arbchain on the recovery tool but we cannot recover usdt the most widely used stable coin in our ecosystem. can we please fix this thank you in advance

We're continuing to rapidly iterate on the Base App since launch. Thanks everyone who jumped in to share thoughts on it in the last few weeks. Going forward: - we will focus on retail investors and traders as initial users, and grow from there - we will broaden the feed to include a wider set of assets, supporting everyone building on base - Base App will be multi-chain, but Base first, so you can access everything you want onchain By focusing on bringing more demand, we’re aiming to create the best environment for innovating and building onchain. Base is for everyone. Let's keep building.

@Cointelegraph Everything but assisting customers recover onchain funds lol coinbase is a bank stop with the onchain nonsense
