If you can take away someone's economic rights, you can take away all their rights.
Bitcoin fixes this.

Great fireside with @baystreetamber at @Futurist_conf in Toronto. We talked about crypto in Canada, where the industry goes next, and @coinbase 's vision for the Everything Exchange.
Canada was early to digital assets. No reason we can't lead again.
Thanks for having us! 🇨🇦

Incumbents have a choice: defend yesterday’s moat or build tomorrow’s markets.
Goldman Sachs has calculated that CLARITY can be a boon for financial innovators willing to embrace blockchain and crypto.
Time for others to get on board.

Stablecoins are for humans and non-humans.
As AI agents start transacting, they'll need money that's programmable and moves instantly, 24/7.
Thanks @dronchain7 and @CCNCitizens for the awesome chat!
CCN - Crypto Citizens Network@CCNCitizens
Stablecoin-powered AI agents could take off within months, Coinbase Canada CEO Eric Richmond (@ericrichy) told CCN’s @dronchain7 at @Futurist_conf. But what needs to happen first? In CCN’s latest exclusive interview, Richmond explains what could drive adoption — and much more. ccn.com/news/crypto/co…

Love crypto? Pass CLARITY to promote its growth.
Hate crypto? Pass CLARITY to prevent its abuses.
Don’t care or feel somewhere in the middle about crypto? Pass CLARITY to show Congress can still actually do something with the power granted by the American people.
It’s time.

1/ 🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day.
Today, let's remember one of the most important moments in our history: The Last Spike.
When Canada finished building the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885, a single ceremonial spike united a country.
Today, we need to drive the First Spike for Canada's digital future.

Jacob goes way, way deep on prediction markets in a way few do. So dense, so informative, and frankly so good a yarn.
Jacob Robinson@JacobRobinsonJD
Prediction markets are a (poorly understood) multi-billion dollar industry. This @LawofCodeFM episode is a multi-hour deep dive on prediction markets, from conclave betting in 15th century Rome to proposed rulemaking from the @CFTC earlier this month. My goal: the internet's most comprehensive explainer on prediction markets. I spent several months and over 100 hours on this podcast, and spoke to the world's leading experts on the legal layer of prediction markets: @robertjdenault, @WALLACHLEGAL, @SPSchropp, Sam Enzer, @iampaulgrewal, @BradBourque, @ThaniaCh, @passalacqua_mj, @JoshSterlingLaw, @_jamico, as well as @KolemanStrumpf, @mattkalish, with clips from prior conversations with @giancarloMKTS, @DustinGouker. By the end of this episode, I promise you'll be in the top percentile for understanding prediction markets, regardless of your starting point. (You just might want to listen twice. There's a lot here.) 0:00 Intro 1:40 16th century papal betting @KolemanStrumpf 11:13 Insider trading rules @robertjdenault 16:20 The Google insider case 27:38 Why prediction markets matter @giancarloMKTS 33:20 Election betting in America 44:50 Iowa Electronic Markets 52:11 Dodd-Frank, swaps and the Special Rule 54:23 Senator Lincoln on sports contracts 1:02:04 Parlays as swaps 1:07:38 CFTC's exclusive jurisdiction @ThaniaCh 1:13:45 Perspective on CFTC's NPRM @passalacqua_mj 1:21:10 Exceptions that swallow the rule @iampaulgrewal 1:33:40 How prediction markets actually work 1:42:20 Kalshi's fee structure 1:44:33 Cardi B and the resolution problem @DustinGouker 1:51:20 @Polymarket's decentralized resolution @_jamico 1:58:10 The Ninth Circuit case 2:14:04 CFTC's proposed rulemaking @BradBourque, @SPSchropp 2:25:21 @Kalshi's landmark 2024 win 2:29:20 PASPA, Murphy v.

Congratulations to @StandWCrypto_CA and the 128,000 advocates behind petition e-6978, presented in the House of Commons last night by Member of Parliament Nathaniel Erskine-Smith (@NateForOntario). 🇨🇦
More than 8,600 Canadians signed to petition for the government to deliver on its commitment to a stablecoin framework, alongside fair banking access for fintechs and a real place for digital assets in Canada's financial modernization agenda.
Great to see our friends in the north keep pushing this forward.

Something that got missed in the noise last week: Coinbase got approved to offer true global crypto perps in the US. This took many years of work, and we're the first to offer this global liquidity to US users.
Backstory: For many years crypto trading has been moving offshore because the US didn't have clear rules, and perpetual futures were a superior product that traders wanted but it wasn't allowed in the US.
If we're being honest, probably ~half of all perpetual futures volume was Americans using offshore products via VPN with loose KYC controls (an open secret in the industry). Penalties for this were rarely, if ever, enforced, which as you can imagine, was frustrating for us as an American company following the rules. Others set up offshore entities and found ways around it.
After dozens of personal visits to DC, and many more from our policy team, I'm really proud we finally got approval to give US users access to true, global perpetual futures. This is important because we'll now see pooled global liquidity in perpetual futures, with the US and international markets being connected instead of fragmented.
Coinbase is strongest in the US, and the US is the largest market for trading, so there is now a chance to build a global network effect around liquidity. And US traders can now use these products in a compliant way with a US company, which hopefully provides greater customer protection.
Major credit to Chair Selig and Atkins on recognizing the importance of this for US capital markets. And we will keep working to update the system in a compliant way, and to be the best place you can trade.
