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. In this episode, the gang is joined by Paul Grewal, Chief Legal Officer at Coinbase, for a wide-ranging conversation on crypto's next big frontier: tokenized stocks. From Robinhood's controversial attempt to tokenize SpaceX and OpenAI shares to the legal and structural hurdles around pre-IPO derivatives, the crew dives deep into what it really takes to bring Wall Street on-chain. They also unpack the regulatory momentum behind the Genius and Clarity Acts, the return of ICO mania with Pump.fun's $1B token raise, and the absurdly viral drama of Suitgate on Polymarket. Is this a new era of regulated innovation—or are we just recreating old problems on new rails? Tune in for sharp takes, legal insight, and a few laughs along the way. Show highlights

H.C. Wainwright gave a double downgrade to Coinbase (COIN) over its ballooning valuation from a staggering run higher. However, as Sam Vadas notes, the firm sees Coinbase being a "best in breed" for crypto exchanges. She talks about how improved regulation and greater adoption of crypto is bullish for Coinbase long-term despite today's downgrade. Joe Tigay turns to an example options trade for the stock.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The race to bring users onchain is heating up, but the competitors couldn't be more different. Coinbase, a crypto-native giant with deep infrastructure and institutional partnerships, is going head-to-head with Robinhood, a retail-focused fintech now making aggressive moves into tokenized assets and blockchain rails. Their visions overlap (tokenized stocks, perpetuals, custom chains) but the strategies, philosophies, and user bases differ sharply. In this episode, Laura speaks with Diogenes Casares (Klyra Protocol) and Ryan Yi (ex-Coinbase Ventures, CoinFund) to unpack: How these two companies will compete What levers they have to increase their profits How Base became a liquidity black hole for Ethereum Why Coinbase may have already won the “flows” game And how stablecoins, social, and tokenization could decide the winner Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Bitwise Ledn Diogenes Casares, founder of Klyra Protocol and advisor at Patagon Management Ryan Yi, ex Coinbase, Coinbase Ventures, and CoinFund Unchained: Hyperliquid Reignited Interest in Crypto Perps.

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, we're joined by Jon Charbonneau and Ryan Watkins to unpack the bombshell news of Robinhood Chain—an Arbitrum-based network debuting tokenized U.S. stocks, 3× crypto perps, and that head-scratching $500 K liquidity cap. From riffing on whether proof-of-stake yields are just “money in a box,” to debating Solana's first U.S. staked ETF, to sizing up the looming perp wars between Robinhood and Coinbase, the crew maps a common thread: corporate chains and regulatory work-arounds are colliding with crypto's decentralization ideals, forcing builders, traders, and even ETF hawks to rethink where real security, fairness, and opportunity will live next.

As AI continues to dominate headlines and crypto continues to evolve behind the scenes, the real story may lie in their convergence. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Dan Kim from Coinbase to discuss how these two technologies are shaping the future of digital commerce and development. Dan leads the Coinbase Developer Platform, a project focused on simplifying blockchain development for millions of developers worldwide. He shared how the platform abstracts away complexity through familiar SDKs and APIs, removing the need for deep blockchain expertise. This isn't just about making it easier to code on-chain. It's about opening the door for new kinds of applications, many of which are being driven by AI. We dug into the emerging concept of "agentic commerce," where AI agents can autonomously carry out transactions using blockchain infrastructure. These agents are now capable of acting on our behalf, making purchases and managing digital assets within defined parameters. This shift is already changing how developers think about building tools for e-commerce, travel, and digital services. Dan also discussed the evolving role of creators in this new landscape. Blockchain technology combined with AI is creating new ways to monetize content, build applications, and launch experiences without relying on traditional platforms. He even shared a personal example—his own AI-powered music project that turns complex crypto topics into relatable Top 40 tracks. From the reawakening of HTTP's long-forgotten 402 payment code to the real-world implications of AI agents handling financial transactions, this conversation revealed just how quickly things are moving. For developers and business leaders alike, the fusion of AI and crypto is no longer speculative. It's here, and it's changing how we interact, build, and pay.

Bob Young co-founded Red Hat, the first company to build a successful business around open source software, and helped shape the modern internet in the process. In this episode, Bob shares the story of how Red Hat went from a CD in a Ziploc bag to a billion-dollar business that inspired GitHub, Coinbase, and much of the cloud infrastructure we use today.But this conversation is about more than just software. Bob opens up about betting his family's finances on Red Hat, the moment he realized he wasn't meant to be a public company CEO, and why he believes capitalism, when done right, can be a powerful force for good.He also shares what he's building now (including a needlepoint company), how he thinks about failure, and the one principle he thinks every founder should live by.Where to find Bob:Lulu.comNeedlepoint.comTimestamps:(00:00) The challenge of fragmented attention and overbooked schedules(05:09) Red Hat's founding story and the philosophy behind open source(08:56) Why the internet is the world's largest open source project(13:34) From newsletter publishing to reinventing Linux(19:49) Why customers chose Red Hat: control, not cost(22:12) The business model insight that changed everything(24:44) How IBM's services model inspired Red Hat's structure(27:36) Scaling Linux for enterprise and dealing with constant updates(36:24) Proprietary software as a modern feudal system(43:33) Racking up $50K in credit card debt to keep Red Hat alive(49:01) Trust, marriage, and startup risk(55:05) Leaving Red Hat and why Bob stepped down as CEO(59:23) What sleep taught Bob about optimism and recovery(01:06:10) Red Hat's culture of ownership and accountability(01:14:24) Why Bob still builds: making the world a better place through business(01:15:02) The importance of discipline and organization(01:17:08) Founders' advice: serve customer needs, not just wantsIn this episode, you'll learn:How Red Hat became the first successful open source companyWhy control—not price—is the real value of open source softwareWhat makes transparency a business strategy, not just a virtueHow capitalism and idealism can actually alignWhy understanding customer needs matters more than their wantsThe difference between proprietary and democratic tech systemsHow to build culture that owns mistakes and learns out loudWhat it really means to commit to your co-founder and spouseHow to navigate failure, burnout, and your own limitations as a leaderWhat keeps Bob starting new companies in his third and fourth actsConnect with Alisa!

I interviewed Hoolie Tejwani, Head of Coinbase Ventures, at the Coinbase State of Crypto Summit. We discuss the various investments Coinbase has made in crypto startups and more.

Nemil Dalal from Coinbase discusses the x402 protocol, a new open standard that enables AI agents to make cryptocurrency payments for online resources using the long-dormant HTTP 402 "Payment Required" status code. The conversation covers stablecoin fundamentals, including how they work and who maintains their stability, before exploring how crypto wallets with multi-signature capabilities could protect AI agents from adversarial attacks while keeping humans in control. They examine forward-looking questions about whether this technology could finally create a viable alternative to advertising models, what happens when millions of AI agents have wallets, and the need for reputation systems in an agent economy. The discussion highlights how cryptocurrency, originally designed to be beyond nation-state control, might become the perfect enabling technology for AI economic participation.

This week, David and guest co-host Tom Schmidt (Dragonfly) unpack a deceptively quiet crypto market with Bitcoin dominance hitting 66% and altcoins eerily still. What meta could flip the trend? They dive into Circle's explosive 10x IPO, Robinhood's surprise crypto surge, and why Coinbase is finally catching up. Plus: the Kalshi vs. Polymarket drama, ICOs creeping back, and how meme coins might soon help you get a mortgage. Also: Vitalik's Layer 1 pivot, prediction markets heating up, and signs of a new retail cycle forming.

The discussion centers around market speculation, particularly in short selling and the recent trends observed in major indices. Jim comments on the speculative nature of the market post-2021 elections and the cycles of retail trading enthusiasm. They also discuss the complexities of corporate earnings, the potential overvaluation of tech stocks, the implications of AI and crypto booms, and the state of the S&P 500. Specific examples include the speculative highs of companies like CoreWeave, Circle, and Coinbase, and their market valuation volatility.

In recent years, an increasing number of companies has embraced Bitcoin as part of their corporate treasury strategy. Matthew Sigel, VanEck's head of digital assets research, warned that some companies might be on the brink of “capital erosion.” In simple terms, capital erosion occurs when a company's value (or shareholders' equity) diminishes despite the company's holdings in Bitcoin.~This Episode is Sponsored By Coinbase~ Buy $50 & Get $50 for getting started on Coinbase➜ https://bit.ly/CBARRON00:00 Intro00:13 Sponsor: Coinbase00:44 Bitcoin Treasury List01:30 Cathie: Microstrategy Premium will fall02:30 BTC Maxis vs ETH03:05 Another Bitcoin Company Moves to ETH03:30 BTCS: First Bitcoin Miner moves to ETH05:27 Microsoft waiting on staking ETF's06:02 Enterprise Ethereum Alliance06:52 Google CEO: Younger demographics vs Bitcoin07:20 Tokenized Gold more trusted than Bitcoin soon?07:57 Jim Cramer cries over Apple stock09:56 Apple Q1 data10:42 Creator Economy Coming to ETH11:33 Outro#Crypto #Ethereum #Bitcoin~Bitcoin Treasury Hype Dead or Early?

美國史上第一部穩定幣法案，最近在參議院正式通過。一通過，Circle 股價直接從 $31 飆到 $242，暴漲超過八倍。這不只象徵美國從打壓轉向擁抱加密貨幣，更讓一個人合法暴賺——川普。因為這條法案明文寫著：禁止官員持有或經營穩定幣，但總統、副總統除外。沒錯，川普家族最近推出的穩定幣 USD1，才剛透過阿布達比主權基金，完成 20 億美金的大交易。而真正賺最多利息的，可能還不是 Circle，而是背後坐收分潤的 Coinbase。這集我們就來聊聊：

I interviewed Aklil Ibssa, Head of Corporate Development and M&A at Coinbase, at the Coinbase State of Crypto Summit. We discussed Coinbase's acquisition of Deribit — the largest in the crypto industry to date.

On this week's Friday Five, NLW and Scott dive into Bitcoin's remarkable stability above $100,000 despite global uncertainty, major bipartisan passage of the Genius stablecoin bill in the Senate, Circle's blockbuster IPO performance, JPMorgan's surprising move onto Coinbase's Base layer, and Elon Musk's continued push toward making X an "everything app." Plus, Fed divisions deepen as rate cuts remain uncertain.

On Tuesday, JPMorgan announced that its blockchain unit is launching JPMD, a USD deposit token for institutional clients, on Base. That's right: the world's biggest bank by assets and the 12th largest company by market cap is putting real dollars onchain. JPMD isn't quite a stablecoin, but it's close. It represents actual dollar deposits at JPMorgan and will be used by institutional clients for blockchain-based transactions. The bank plans to run a pilot over the coming months and eventually expand it to other user groups and currencies, pending regulatory approval. To understand what this means for the broader crypto ecosystem (and why JPMorgan chose Base), we brought on Jesse Pollak, head of Base and Coinbase Wallet. In this episode, Jesse explains: Why JPMorgan (and Shopify) chose Base What deposit tokens are, and how they differ from stablecoins Why infrastructure is finally “ready” for institutions How Base scaled from 2.5 million to 35 million gas/sec What's next for Coinbase users who'll have one-tap access to onchain assets And Jesse's response to the critics who said that Coinbase doesn't give enough credit to Ethereum Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Ledn FalconX Jesse Pollak, Head of Base and Coinbase Wallet Unchained:  JPMorgan to Pilot ‘JPMD' Token on Base Coinbase and Amex Team Up on Bitcoin Card as Exchange Reveals Broad Expansion Plans Comments on Bloomberg by Naveen Mallela, global co-head of the bank's blockchain division Kinexys by JPMorgan Timestamps:

Welcome to the Weekly Rollup, where we cover this week in Crypto. We unpack the implications of the Genius Act's passage, which positions the U.S. to lead in digital assets and spurs optimism around stablecoins potentially hitting a $3.7 trillion valuation by 2030. Also: JP Morgan's surprising entry into the stablecoin market and Coinbase's launch of new products, including a Bitcoin cashback credit card. ———

How crazy is it that even in spite of being on the brink of World War III, Bitcoin is still holding over $100,000? How crazy is it that the Genius Act has passed through the US Senate and is now heading for the House of Representatives? And how crazy is AI accelerating with all the crazy stuff you can do with it? If you’re looking for crazy you’ve come to the right place. We’re going to discuss the essential stories from the crypto market and dive into the AI rabbit hole with essential tools you want to use to enhance your productivity. If we are nice to AI perhaps they’ll remember it when they decide to turn on us. Join us today and we make nice with the future overlords and get pumped about where Bitcoin could be heading on episode #779 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. Show notes Cryptocurrency News: Senate passes stablecoin bill, turning focus to House | The Block The U.S. Senate has passed the GENIUS Act, the first major federal legislation to regulate stablecoins, requiring them to be fully backed by liquid assets and imposing audit and transparency standards. The bill, which received bipartisan support, now shifts to the House for consideration and is seen as a pivotal step toward legitimizing the crypto industry and cementing U.S. dollar dominance in digital assets. Despite this progress, concerns remain over potential conflicts of interest and the adequacy of consumer protections, particularly regarding anti-money laundering and corporate issuance provisions. How to legally stake crypto in 2025: What is now allowed after the SEC’s latest move The SEC’s 2025 guidelines confirm that solo, delegated, and custodial staking directly tied to network consensus are not securities offerings. Staking rewards are treated as service compensation, not investment returns. However, yield farming and staking-like lending schemes remain regulated as securities. JPMorgan, SEC meet to discuss capital markets moving onchain JPMorgan executives met with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force to discuss the regulatory implications and potential impacts of traditional capital markets migrating to public blockchains, including how existing financial models might change and how to assess associated risks and benefits123. The discussions also covered JPMorgan’s current digital asset initiatives, such as its digital platform for repurchase agreements and the launch of its new deposit token, JPMD, on Coinbase’s Base blockchain123. JPMorgan emphasized that deposit tokens like JPMD, which are fully backed by bank deposits, offer a more scalable and institution-friendly alternative to stablecoins, with no immediate plans to launch a stablecoin themselves123. Cointelegraph joins forces with Nansen to boost crypto journalism with onchain data Cointelegraph has partnered with Nansen, a leading onchain analytics platform, to integrate real-time blockchain data and AI-powered insights into its news coverage, research, and social media content1. This collaboration aims to enhance the quality and transparency of crypto journalism by providing readers with actionable, data-driven intelligence on DeFi, Web3, and market trends1. The partnership marks a significant step toward more informed and credible reporting in the crypto industry, leveraging Nansen’s advanced analytics across Cointelegraph’s global newsroom1. Report: Justin Sun’s Tron Aims for Nasdaq Listing in High-Stakes Merger Deal Justin Sun’s Tron is set to go public on Nasdaq through a reverse merger with SRM Entertainment, a toy and merchandise company, in a deal valued up to $210 million that will see SRM rebranded as Tron Inc. and Sun serve as an advisor123. The transaction, orchestrated by Dominari Securities with close ties to the Trump family, involves SRM raising $100 million to acquire TRX tokens for its treasury, following a pause in SEC investigations into Sun34. This marks a significant move for Tron and highlights shifting U.S. regulatory attitudes toward crypto firms entering public markets through unconventional means45. The Legal Personhood of Decentralized Systems Decentralized systems like DAOs face major challenges fitting into global legal frameworks, as existing laws often treat them as general partnerships, exposing members to unlimited liability and tax risks if no formal structure is established. Several legal solutions have been proposed, such as Wyoming’s DUNA, the BORG framework, and blockchain-native governance models, but each has significant limitations and often cannot accommodate complex, real-world assets or operational needs. DUNAs, while offering a nonprofit legal wrapper, are criticized for being technology-specific and potentially allowing profit-like activities under a nonprofit label, raising regulatory and compliance concerns. Other frameworks, like BORGs and Q blockchain, are more technology-neutral but struggle with practical issues such as asset custody, compliance, and the ability to interact with traditional financial systems. The article suggests that some proposals may be motivated by large investors seeking to limit their own liability, rather than providing comprehensive solutions for the broader DAO ecosystem.
