“In Arrow’s “Information Paradox,” the seller risks giving away knowledge in order to sell it. AI creates the reverse problem. In the AI age, the buyer risks giving away knowledge, just in order to use what they bought.” This explains the feeling I have whenever using AI. It’s akin to- If you don’t know where the yield comes from, you’re probably the yield.

Paul Grewal@iampaulgrewal

After 6 years I’m leaving @Coinbase. I’ll be transitioning to an advisory role at the end of the month and continue my service on the Board of Coinbase National Trust Company. I will be a Coinbase ally for life and am grateful to @brian_armstrong, @emilemc and the Coinbase board for the opportunity of a lifetime. ⬇️

Onchain Credit is coming and @CoinbaseAM is packaging it up into a diversified credit fund. Blending onchain and offchain credit is the key. Listen to our discussion with @stabledash to understand why we’re taking this approach.

A $1.8T asset manager just built a dedicated crypto investment team. I’m the Chief Investment Officer. The “do digital assets have staying power?” debate is over. Here’s what comes next 🧵

The other system that needs updating.
Ricardo@Ric_RTP

This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America. A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact. It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy: 56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases. More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide. 343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information. That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison. The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once: The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry. Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate. Now look at the individual leaderboard: - Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100 - Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers - Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late - Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked. She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO. The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine. The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero. And the cruelest part is this: A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed. But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is. They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing. The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.

The fact that I can sit outside my backyard and show my kids @elonmusk rockets in Low Earth Orbit, moving across like shooting stars, while they sit in awe - means he’s genuinely going to do this.

Proof of Talk@proofoftalk

Anthony Bassili @SmartestBeta, President of Coinbase Asset Management, takes the Proof of Talk stage this June. @CoinbaseAM is the institutional bridge between traditional allocators and digital assets. Anthony is the person those allocators trust to walk them across. After over a decade at @BlackRock building for the world's largest institutional allocators, including leading the iShares pensions business. Now running asset management at the largest crypto exchange in the United States. At BlackRock, he spent over a decade in business development, investment strategy, and multi-asset portfolio management before leading the iShares pensions business. He knows how these institutions think, because he built for them. He brought that playbook to Coinbase, first leading Institutional Americas, now as President of Coinbase Asset Management. A CAIA charterholder and contributor to digital asset education with AIF Institute, the Global Interdependence Center, and CAIA, he's also an active early-stage investor and Web3 startup advisor. On June 2–3 at the Louvre Palace, Anthony shares what he's learning as the person bringing traditional institutional capital into crypto through one of the most trusted platforms in the industry. See you there. tickets.proofoftalk.io/passes

Brian Armstrong@brian_armstrong·
Big day for our US-based traders, and for Coinbase. Until now, US users have been locked out of ~80% of global crypto markets (perpetual futures and options). But not anymore! Coinbase is the first and only regulated platform able to connect US users to global crypto options and perpetual futures (including Deribit options with >$31B in OI). Thanks to Chairman Selig and @CFTC for making this possible.

Onshoring perps is a big step. Great to see this progress. USA!
Mike Selig@ChairmanSelig

In my first public remarks as @CFTC Chairman, I made clear that the agency would use the tools at its disposal to onshore crypto asset perpetuals. Today, the @CFTC delivered on that commitment. This morning, the @CFTC took historic action to permit the listing of a true bitcoin perpetual contract by a CFTC-registered exchange, charting a path for one of the most liquid segments of the crypto asset markets to exist within the US regulatory framework.

Ondo Finance
Ondo Finance@OndoFinance·
It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Nathan Allman, Ondo's founder. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones. Nate’s brilliance, humility, and drive shaped every part of what Ondo is today. His belief in the power of technology to create a more open, accessible financial system lives on in everything we build. The impact he had on this industry, and on all of us personally, cannot be overstated. Nate also helped us build a durable organization with experienced leaders across all facets of the business. Ian De Bode, Ondo Finance’s longtime President, will serve as CEO. Ian has been leading our strategy, product, and day-to-day operations for over two years and has the full confidence of the leadership team. We will continue building what Nate started. That is the most meaningful way we know to honor him.
