“I wake up most days thinking about agentic finance. We’re still early, but to me the growth trajectory points to where the world is heading. Coinbase for Agents is our answer to this growing need - connect agents to your account, and let them trade and pay on your behalf (with limits and controls).”

“Happy 18th birthday to Bitcoin! We (Coinbase) recently added our 18,000th Bitcoin to our treasury investment holdings.”

“We got flying cars, now it's time we get a modern financial system. Let me Coinbase-pill you for a minute. Financial services is a massive industry. All fintech companies combined capture about 4% of total global financial-services revenues, while traditional financial-services companies account for the remaining ~96%. Yet the financial services industry is going through two massive technological shifts right now…”

“All asset classes are moving onchain. Tokenized stocks and stablecoins (which are really just tokenized fiat currency) are growing fast, with more to come. We'll continue updating the financial system.”

“It may seem quaint to manually click through a financial app in the near future. Instead you'll talk to your agent to let it know what you want, and it will prompt you for approvals (or even take some actions on your behalf if you want). Everyone can have their own private banker. We’re building Coinbase to be the most AI-enabled financial account. Both with a first party interface (Coinbase Advisor) and via third…”

“Crypto has already removed a lot of the waiting we previously accepted as normal in finance: - Stablecoins move across borders on weekends and holidays. - Tokenized stocks trade 24/7 globally. - Decentralized exchanges perform real time settlement. - Onchain lending lets people borrow without waiting for a loan officer. We're making money move at the speed of information.”

“The beauty of 24/7 markets is you can react to news at any time. When Elon announces flying cars, traders shouldn’t be stuck on the sidelines waiting for the markets to reopen. Perps and tokenized stocks fix this.”

“We’re working on making Coinbase the most AI-enabled financial account - so you can get more done with your money, and make more informed decisions.”

“I built this Coinbase plugin for Omarchy Linux. View your portfolio balance, track any asset, and easily trade any asset on Coinbase. Coinbase also connects in to your favorite agent in Omarchy. The vision of an AI-enabled operating system is coming together. Thx @dhh for your infectious enthusiasm. To install: omarchy plugin add --enable”

“Use Base to integrate earning and borrowing into your app, so your customers can start earning or unlocking liquidity on their crypto! We proved this concept works on Coinbase, now any platform can do it too with @Base.”

“It’s great to see the SEC proposing merit-based private market access in the US. This will be a huge step forward. For too long, only the richest people have had access to the private markets. Retail has been missing out. And over the last few years, companies have been incentivized to stay private longer (so retail has been missing out even more at best, or become exit liquidity at worst).”

“New launch on our prediction markets: live crypto price markets.”

“Onchain capital formation is still one of the biggest opportunities in crypto. We’re working on it.”

“The midterms are about 5 weeks away. Crypto isn't a partisan issue. It's about whether the next generation of financial technology gets built in America. Before you vote, check where your candidates stand:”

“Equity markets are moving onchain. Congrats on the milestone, @aeroxyz!”
