I'm glad you don't hate our industry Senator @ChrisMurphyCT. I'd just ask you not to lump us all in to a single frame. When you think of @coinbase you should know that we are widely considered to be the most compliant and trusted company in the sector, that we proudly carry the US flag to global markets, and that we work closely with and train law enforcement whenever they need us. We've been trying to get federal regulations for the crypto sector for many years. We also stayed in the US and built our company here notwithstanding the Biden Administration's efforts to drive our industry offshore. Now that the technology is gaining mass adoption in financial services, we happen to be America's leading company in the sector and a beachhead to ensure that a US company with US employees is the leader in building the next-generation of financial infrastructure. We wouldn't have built such a formidable and non-partisan political operation - well before the current Administration - if we hadn't learned the hard way how vulnerable the 50+ million Americans who own crypto - and the thousands of builders in our sector - are to crazy politics. I hope we get a chance to meet in person. There's a lot about our sector that I think you'd like.

Imagine opposing a regulated trust charter because you prefer crypto to stay … unregulated. That’s ICBA’s position. It’s another case of bank lobbyists trying to dig regulatory moats to protect their own. From undoing a law to go after rewards to blocking charters, protectionism isn’t consumer protection.
Independent Community Bankers of America@ICBA

ICBA urged the @USOCC to deny Coinbase’s application for a national trust bank charter for its subsidiary, Coinbase National Trust Co. The application fails to meet statutory chartering standards and would set a dangerous precedent for the structure of the U.S. banking system. See our letter: urlisolation.com/browser?clickI…

Beware of politicians taking your hard earned private property because they deem it “unproductive.” The road to hell is paved with good intentions. This will bury France. America will rise by getting more people in the game of capitalism as opposed to burning it down. 🇺🇸🚀
unusual_whales@unusual_whales

France is changing how it taxes wealth by including large cryptocurrency holdings under a new rule targeting what it calls “unproductive wealth.” A new law passed by the French government now applies a 1% tax to net assets over €2 million, and this includes digital assets like crypto—even if they haven’t been sold.

Fun story - some students outperformed professional financial analysts in a challenge we set leading up to our Q3 earnings. This was a creative way our team designed for us to search for top talent. We set a challenge for students to use our Q2 2025 10-Q and public data to forecast Q3'25 revenue. We got a ton of great entries, and 10 of them landed within 1% of our Q3 results, while the street estimates were off by 3%. And the winner Tyler was only off by 0.06%! Announcing all the winners soon, who get a PS5 Pro and an interview for a new-grad or intern role. Thanks to everyone who took part!

Excited to be an investor in Preventive! More than 300 million people globally live with genetic disease. Foundational research should be done to determine if safe and effective therapies can be developed to cure these diseases at birth. It is far easier to correct a smaller number of cells before disease progression occurs, such as in an embryo.
Lucas Harrington@CRISPR_LuCas

Excited to announce Preventive, a PBC dedicated to rigorous research into the safety of embryo editing for preventing disease. We've raised ~$30M and believe that if proven safe, this could be one of the most important health technologies of our lifetimes🧵

Are you paying $300+/yr for a Card, analyzing how to get some value back, and just watching points and miles slip away? The Coinbase One Card is available for just $30 per year if you sign up now - and pays up to 4% BTC back for every purchase, alongside other no-brainer benefits like zero-fee trading, priority support, boosted rewards, and more Just $30 for the year and 10x more valuable than all the cards that are 10x more expensive

It’s nearly 2026, and billions of people still have to wait for the US to wake up before they can trade the best financial markets. Trading hours and markets that close are outdated. Tokenized assets will be better for everyone, with instant settlement and 24/7 availability.

My favorite part of this is that we created a committee to approve the creation of new committees at Coinbase. 🤯 As Emilie said, she and I are the only two people on the committee. It has a lengthy and bureaucratic (err....rigorous!) process where you have to submit an application, and we are quite slow (err....thorough!) in our reviews. Fight fire with fire. Use their own tactics against them.
Emilie Choi 🛡️@emiliemc

At Coinbase, it's a fireable offense to create a new committee that has not been explicitly approved by Brian or myself. In the vast majority of cases, spreading authority across multiple people is inefficient. And once you’ve added an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy to something, it's harder to remove. Each new committee compounds, further slowing the business down - best to avoid this wherever possible.
