Podcasts about Coinbase

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, the crew dives into the shift from airdrops to ICOs as Monad, MegaETH, and Coinbase's new sale format spark a rethink of how tokens should be distributed. They discuss ICO Beast's hedging fiasco, why most airdrops fail to create real users, and whether fixed-price ICOs are a better path for long-term alignment. The gang also unpacks Uniswap's major “unification,” the end of Labs vs. Foundation, and UNI finally becoming the protocol's value-accrual asset. In the back half, they touch on the “low carb crusader” MEV trial, the hung jury, and the broader question of whether MEV games belong in criminal court at all. A concise, high-signal look at where tokenomics, distribution, and crypto's legal boundaries are heading next. Show highlights

Thank you to our sponsors! Uniswap  Mantle For decades, the internet has worked without a native way to pay for things. Credit cards were bolted on, platforms built their own integrations, and developers had to stitch together complex payment flows to charge even a few cents for anything. But with AI agents now making requests, triggering actions, and needing to pay for data or services instantly, that old patchwork is starting to break. In this episode, Laura Shin speaks with Erik Reppel, Head of Engineering for Coinbase's Developer Platform, and Sam Ragsdale, founder of Merit Systems, about x402, a new open standard for internet-native payments designed for the AI era. They discuss why AI has revived a decades-old idea, how x402 works under the hood, why devs say the experience is simpler than traditional payments, and how stablecoins make microtransactions economically viable. They also dive into the big debates: no chargebacks, chain-agnostic design, the shift to a foundation, and how this standard could eventually work with fiat as well.

The inevitable decline of civilization takes center stage as the show kicks off with the miserable results of the FACEBOOK SETTLEMENT, confirming Brian's $4.01 payout, followed by a discussion of the SPORTS BETTING SCANDAL, where MLB players are rigging games over prop bets, confirming that gambling is now actively killing sports; moving to the news, the guys celebrate the DENMARK SOCIAL MEDIA BAN and SCHOOL PHONE BANS, which are already proving that teenagers need mandatory digital detoxes, prompting comparisons to Footloose and the revelation that teens are now passing handwritten notes and taking Polaroids. Naturally, things aren't going well for the hyper-rich, as evidenced by the TESLA EXECUTIVE EXODUS and the launch of WAYMO FREEWAYS, which will surely bring chaos to LA, and the ongoing saga of massive capital destruction via OPENAI LOSSES and META AI FAILURES, prompting Mark Zuckerberg to announce his desperate bid to CURE ALL DISEASES with AI, a feat less audacious than the fraud of AI startup FIREFLY AI TRANSCRIPT, which admitted its original "AI" was just human transcriptionists.They then hit a laundry list of digital woes, including the dubious convenience of APPLE PASSPORTS, the creeping dread of Sam Altman's failing WORLDCOIN EYEBALL SCANS, the ridiculous crypto fraud DEFI OFFICE SPACE that literally copied a movie plot, and Coinbase's inexplicable decision to bring back high-risk ICOs; the absurdity continued with the OPENAI LAWSUIT over a suicidal chatbot that suggested the user "Rest easy, King," and the political maneuvering of the REPUBLICAN BROADBAND REDIRECT, which will gut internet access for the underserved to fund the Treasury, but the real threat to humanity remains the clandestine PREVENTATIVE GENE HACKING startup funded by tech billionaires aiming to create modified babies offshore.In Media Candy, they share reviews of the excellent DIPLOMAT, ZOOTOPIA, and the just-released LUSH DOCUMENTARY, confirming our combined Gen-X fragility, before celebrating two definitive wins for reality: the fact that physicists have finally CRUSHED THE SIMULATION THEORY, and the literary brilliance of Joyce Carol Oates' tweet, which expertly called out Elon Musk as uneducated and uncultured.All this and more on this episode of Grumpy Old GeeksSponsors:CleanMyMac - clnmy.com/OLDGEEKS - Use code OLDGEEKS for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Convicted felon Donald Trump got booed at an NFL game after our euphoric election. So the elites in Congress hit the panic button. This is World War III in America: oligarchy, Big Tech, and Democratic Senators obeying in advance.  Here to help us get back on track is Evgeny Finkel, a historian at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, and the author of Intent to Destroy: Russia's Two-Hundred-Year Quest to Dominate Ukraine and other works on  the anatomy of evil. He shares his advice for building an opposition to fascism in the U.S. and what he fears more than a MAGA dictatorship–a civil war.  For our bonus episode this week, Gaslit Nation answers your questions about crisis, rising autocracy and more!

For episode 625 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Rodrigo Coelho, CEO of Edge & Node. Autonomous agents across blockchain ecosystems are beginning to transact, communicate, and collaborate independently, yet there is no standardized way to manage agent to agent interactions (payments).Edge & Node, the founding team behind The Graph, is solving this problem by providing the missing management layer, Ampersend. Ampersend extends Coinbase's x402 payment protocol and Google's A2A communication standard with observability, automation, and compliance-ready controls.The result is an operational system where developers, startups, and enterprises can see how agents interact, set policies, manage budgets, and ensure reliability. Ampersend also aligns with Ethereum's emerging ERC-8004 agent discovery standard. ⏳ Timestamps: (0:00) Introduction(1:15) Who is Rodrigo Coelho?(8:57) What is Edge & Node?(10:10) What is Ampersend?(12:35) What will the Agentic economy look like?(18:53) Scaling the Agentic economy(25:42) Neo Robots(26:43) Importance of Agentic verifiability(28:00) Ampersend launch(30:10) Edge & Node roadmap for 2026(32:47) Edge & Node website, socials & community

Kaum Steuern, kaum Regulierungen, maximale Forschungsfreiheit - auf einer honduranischen Insel in der Karibik entsteht eine Privatstadt. In Próspera können Firmen ihren eigenen Rechtsrahmen wählen. Das zieht Start-Ups und Libertäre aus aller Welt an, auch Milliardäre aus dem Silicon Valley. «Ich habe sieben Chips implantiert», sagt US-Amerikaner Rich Lee. «Hier in der Hand, das ist meine Kreditkarte, damit kann ich bargeldlos an der Kasse bezahlen.» Das löse viele schräge Blicke aus, erzählt der 47-jährige lachend. Rich Lee glaubt, dass der menschliche Körper aktiv verbessert werden müsse. «Unsere Sinne und Fähigkeiten müssen erweitert werden, egal, ob durch Gentherapie oder Cyborg-Implantate.» Er probiert seine Forschungsergebnisse gleich an sich selber aus. Das ist möglich in Próspera. Hier gibt es keine Gesundheitsbehörde und keine Ethikkommission. Wer ein Unternehmen registriert, braucht lediglich einen Versicherer, der bereit ist, das Risiko zu übernehmen. Bezahlen kann man in Bitcoin. Alles in privater Hand. Próspera gilt als Vorzeigemodell in der sogenannten Privatstadtbewegung, die durch Geld und Macht aus dem Silicon Valley vorangetrieben wird. Libertäre Milliardäre wie Paypal-Gründer Peter Thiel oder Brian Armstrong, der Gründer von Coinbase, investieren darin. Der Staat Honduras, zu dem die Karibikinsel mit Próspera gehört, hat das Nachsehen.

The native token belonging to decentralized exchange Uniswap is soaring this week, outpacing major cryptocurrencies amid a slew of changes expected to boost revenue and shore up liquidity. Unveiled on Monday, the "UNIfication" proposal from Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundations aims to put the protocol's roughly $650 million in daily trading volume to work by activating protocol fees to fund a perpetual UNI token burn. ~This Episode is Sponsored By Coinbase~ Buy $50 & Get $50 for getting started on Coinbase➜ https://bit.ly/coinbasePBNGuest: Matt Hougan, CIO at Bitwise Asset ManagementBitwise Crypto Funds ➜ https://bit.ly/BitwiseCrypto00:00 intro00:08 Sponsor: Coinbase00:35 Uniswap Fee Switch Proposal01:15 Matt Hougan Prediction Was Right02:02 Uniswap Dex Growth02:35 $UNI Proposal is EPIC!04:24 Catnip For TradFi Analysts05:19 Hayden Adams: Quarterly Earnings Are Dead06:00 Mega-Trend on Transparency06:51 Approved in 22 Days?07:10 Wrapped XRP on Uniswap07:52 Regulation Was Holding DeFi Tokens Back08:35 Solana ETF $BSOL Success09:45 XRP ETF Potential10:57 Uniswap ETF11:53 Tokenized Bitwise Private Funds13:23 How Much Will Be Unlocked14:34 CLARITY Act passing in 2025?15:40 Tom Lee Ethereum Prediction16:59 Fusaka Ethereum Upgrade19:10 $POLY Token vs Polymarket IPO20:32 outro#Crypto #Ethereum #Solana~Uniswap Becomes God-Tier Token!!!

Episode web page: https://bit.ly/4qwkj8C ----------------------- Episode summary: In this eye-opening episode of Insights Unlocked, host Mike Mace chats with Surojit Chatterjee—former Chief Product Officer at Coinbase and current founder and CEO of Ema—about the sweeping changes generative AI is bringing to the workplace. Surojit unpacks his vision of “AI employees”—intelligent agents that can handle complex workflows, adapt to company-specific processes, and act as true collaborators rather than just tools. Drawing on his leadership at Google, Coinbase, and now Ema, he explains why organizations must stop retrofitting AI into outdated workflows and instead embrace an “AI + human” model of work. From transforming enterprise functions like HR, finance, and customer support to challenging legacy software models, this conversation delivers sharp insights for leaders navigating the shift to AI-driven operations. Surojit also shares advice for companies just starting their AI journey, including the importance of experimentation, transparency, and reskilling teams. What you'll learn in this episode: Why the next generation of software must adapt to the enterprise—not the other way around How AI can eliminate mundane tasks and unlock more meaningful human work What legacy tech companies risk if they don't embrace a new AI-first paradigm The role of customer empathy and rapid experimentation in building Transformative AI products How to lead an “AI + human” business transformation, function by function Why trust and transparency are key to successfully integrating AI into your team Resources & Links: Surojit Chatterjee on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/surojitchatterjee/) Ema website (https://www.ema.co/) UserTesting's Mike Mace on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikemace/) Nathan Isaacs on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanisaacs/) Learn more about Insights Unlocked: https://www.usertesting.com/podcast About the show: Insights Unlocked is the go-to podcast for marketing, UX, product, and CX leaders.

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, Kaledora Linn, Co-founder and “Empress of RWAs” at Ostium, joins to break down the rise of on-chain equity perps, the funding-rate chaos that hit 365%, and why she believes the next wave of tokenized assets won't come from exchanges—but from structured liquidity markets. We dive deep into Ostium's hybrid CFD model that blends TradFi mechanics with on-chain transparency, explore why most retail traders can't stomach perp carry costs, and debate what “safe leverage” could look like in an RWA world. The panel also touches on CZ's presidential pardon and Coinbase's new Echo platform, connecting the dots between political optics, capital formation, and how crypto's product design is evolving beyond speculation. Whether you're building perpetual DEXs, tokenizing RWAs, or just trying to survive the next funding-rate spike, this episode unpacks how market design, UX, and regulation will shape crypto's next trillion-dollar frontier.

After several years of investing in crypto, Glen has built up a sizeable nest egg. The money means security and the ability to buy a home. One day, when trying to log in to Coinbase, he realizes that his account is locked. Seconds later, he receives a call from "Coinbase support." The customer service agent explains that due to a major data breach and the high volume of hacks, they are now being instructed to reach out and assist customers directly. He walks Glen through the account recovery process, which is reassuring, but within a day, Glen's account is drained of $180,000.

Crypto has spent years obsessing over tokens, airdrops, and speculation. But what about the unsexy businesses actually making money? Arthur Hayes and Adam Schlegel join Laura Shin to talk about Maelstrom's $250M private equity fund targeting crypto's most profitable, yet overlooked, companies, $50M revenue businesses with 50% margins that VCs can't touch and exchanges won't pay cash for. But while everyone frames this as just another fund, Hayes and Schlegel argue it's actually the missing piece in crypto's maturation: a cash buyer for founders who've done their time and want out without four-year earnouts.  Plus: Why Asian crypto companies with monster margins get ignored by Western capital.
