Coinbase

Coinbase said on November 4 that more than 99% of customer assets sit in offline cold storage, days after a $6.34 billion breach at Binance. The claim is self-reported, and the fraction left online is large enough to matter.

Coinbase returns to profitability in the third quarter of 2026. The American exchange announces a net result of $719 million, of which $715 million come from valuation gains on its crypto investments. A performance that hides a less favorable commercial activity. Transaction revenues fell by 44% year-on-year, while the adjusted net profit reached only $78 million.

Tokenized stocks are nearing 4 billion dollars on the crypto market. Their value reached 3.84 billion dollars in a report published on October 28, before settling around 3.74 billion on RWA.xyz. The sector now includes 4.51 million holder addresses. Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia are also represented on the blockchain, with tokens now able to serve as collateral to borrow stablecoins.

A blockchain attestation proves who signed a statement, not that it is true. The Coinbase case on Base, off-chain attestations, and five questions to ask.

Coinbase wants to prepare Bitcoin for the arrival of quantum computers without waiting for them to become a concrete threat. In a publication dated October 13, the platform emphasizes that modifying the network rules and supporting the migration of its ecosystem will take several years. It claims to hold nearly one million BTC, about 5% of existing bitcoins. Its document presents technical avenues, not a plan imposed on the network.

Artificial intelligence agents have made more than 138 million payments via the x402 protocol on Base, according to a Chainalysis study published on October 14. However, this figure measures the number of transactions, not 138 million dollars: more than 87% of the analyzed operations are worth less than ten cents.

Starting the last week of October, eligible American users will be able to send USDC from Samsung Wallet. The manufacturer targets 82 million compatible Galaxy devices, with no fees to external wallets, with regulated partners in charge of the funds. Stablecoins reach a mass distribution milestone.

Wallets associated with the US government transferred 833.6 bitcoins, valued at over 71 million dollars, on October 6th. This first movement in six weeks concerns funds seized in the Bitfinex and HashFlare cases, but no data confirms their sale.

This Monday, the price of the main crypto approached 86000 dollars, its highest level since the end of January. However, this recovery remains imperfect, as US spot demand has not yet shown strength comparable to that of the price.

X accelerates its rapprochement with trading. The social network partners with Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini, Interactive Brokers and Moomoo to allow users easier access to trading platforms from Cashtags displayed in posts. A new step that brings market discussions closer to order execution.

For Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, bitcoin at $400,000 by 2030 remains a reasonable target. However, to reach it from its current price, BTC would have to multiply by more than five.

Bitcoin can now be used to finance the purchase of a home in the United States without going through a sale. Better Mortgage and Coinbase have just widely opened their real estate loan backed by digital assets. Bitcoin serves as collateral to finance the initial down payment. The owner retains exposure to bitcoin throughout the loan duration.

The crypto exchange platform Coinbase aims to bring Wall Street into DeFi. Indeed, the exchange is proceeding with the official deployment of its tokenized shares on Base, its own Layer-2 network. This market is breaking new records. Thus, it reached an amount of 2.3 billion dollars by mid-2026. The main players in the sector aim to make these shares usable tools in decentralized applications.

Donald Trump pressures the American Senate. This Wednesday, the president gathered several major figures from the crypto industry at the White House to try to unblock the CLARITY Act. The text, stuck in Congress, now crystallizes a confrontation that goes beyond the mere regulation of cryptos. Washington is also playing its ability to maintain its technological lead over China, against a backdrop of political tensions and disagreements over the sector's framework.

The American crypto industry is now invited to the heart of power. Donald Trump is set to convene key figures from this ecosystem, prediction markets, and artificial intelligence at the White House. This meeting highlights the growing attention Washington is paying to these strategic sectors. Behind this meeting also lies the future direction of American policy towards these assets. Who will attend this meeting and what decisions might result?

Robinhood Chain surpassed Base in daily active users on July 21, just four weeks after its launch. Coinbase's network responds by highlighting its 187.8 million agentic payments and an upcoming launch of tokenized stocks. The battle for onchain distribution has only just begun.

The AI crypto hype has gone cold, leaving speculators holding the bag. Meanwhile, RWA and Bitcoin are where the real money is flowing. The game has changed.

The cryptocurrency sector is going through a new phase where several companies are redirecting their communication towards AI. This evolution is causing reactions within the industry, notably at Coinbase. Its CEO, Brian Armstrong, believes that this opposition between blockchain and artificial intelligence is based on a misreading of technological developments. According to him, these two fields should not be considered competitors but as technologies capable of working together to support future digital uses.

9 giants of crypto and finance launch a consortium endowed with $15M to prepare Bitcoin for quantum computing. The details!

The blockchain application ecosystem is evolving rapidly, and network priorities change at the pace of usage. Several players are now reassessing their strategic choices to meet user expectations. In this context, crypto takes a new turn with statements from Jesse Pollak, creator of Base. He publicly acknowledges that the platform took a wrong direction by favoring social experiences. He now believes that this choice caused a loss of valuable time in the face of the rise of prediction markets and perpetual contracts.

On July 13, the United States transferred nearly 4,000 bitcoins (approximately 250 million dollars) to Coinbase Prime. While overall liquidity remains extremely sensitive to movements by state whales, this major on-chain activity, stemming from judicial seizures, acts as a powerful volatility catalyst. Is this a simple logistical reorganization or the beginning of a massive sale?

The development of a regulatory framework for cryptos in the United States has just crossed a new threshold of tension, illustrating the extreme polarization between industry leaders and Washington policymakers. As Congress examines the market structures essential to the sector's sustainability, national security takes center stage in constitutional debates, turning a technical bill into a true ideological battlefield. The direct confrontation between the exchange platform Coinbase and Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren highlights the urgency of legislative clarification, but mainly reveals diametrically opposed visions on how to protect the American financial system.

Is Tim Draper selling his bitcoins? This simple hypothesis was enough to sow doubt in the crypto market. On Friday, July 3, a massive transfer of BTC to Coinbase Prime, attributed by several on-chain analysis tools to the famous billionaire, triggered a wave of speculation. Between fear of an imminent sale and questions about the reliability of blockchain tracing, the case recalls a reality: in a market dominated by large fortunes, a few transactions can shake investor sentiment.

The US legislative calendar once again puts the Crypto sector in the spotlight. While the Senate will not resume its work until July 13, several companies and organizations in the sector are asking for a quick vote on the CLARITY Act before the August summer break. This mobilization comes after several months of parliamentary work and in a context where regulatory uncertainty remains at the heart of the concerns of digital asset players. The coming days could thus weigh on the future of the US federal framework.

The financial market is going through a period of high tension as values related to digital assets undergo a marked correction. In this context, crypto becomes a particularly watched sector after the sharp decline of specialized stocks. Coinbase is among the affected companies, with a larger drop than several major American tech groups. This situation highlights the growing gap between cryptocurrency companies and the rest of the stock market. Investors now watch the performances of these players amid economic uncertainties and sector developments.

The Coinbase Base network experienced a temporary technical interruption while preparing for the arrival of a major new upgrade. On Thursday, a defective block disrupted the operation of the main network and stopped the production of new blocks for about two hours. The incident occurred at the same time as the deployment of Beryl, an update planned by the technical team. Coinbase quickly identified the cause of the problem and gradually restored the network sequencing.

As the major regulatory deadlines approach, the global crypto ecosystem is undergoing an unprecedented restructuring phase that redefines the balance of power among industry giants. The countdown is now underway for the definitive application of the crypto market regulation (MiCA) in the European Union on July 1, 2026. This historic law aims to harmonize the industry across the Old Continent, forcing exchange platforms to choose between strict compliance or simple exclusion from a strategic market of over 450 million consumers. Just days from this legislative deadline, the two American and international figures of trading are separated by a spectacular rift.

The global crypto industry is currently undergoing a profound structural transformation where old economic models based on transaction volumes are no longer sufficient to ensure the financial survival of industry giants. It is in this very context of global market rationalization that Coinbase, one of the world’s leading regulated exchange platforms, seeks to redefine its operational destiny. Faced with a prolonged decline in spot trading volumes and the ongoing erosion of standard commissions applied to retail clients, the American company is deploying an aggressive roadmap focused on diversifying its revenue sources.
