Big news! More and more banks are moving funds onchain
We're bringing stablecoins into the banking system with @Citi.
That means instant stablecoin acceptance for institutions - all on bank-grade, regulated infrastructure.
The next step for stablecoins becoming everyday money.

Had a blast speaking at the Solana Summit in Toronto this week with @SuperteamCAN 🇨🇦
Canada has the ingredients to lead in digital assets on the global stage and needs builders, crypto platforms, traditional finance, founders and regulators to work together

Great morning at @nrthtechCA (formerly Elevate) today!
I joined @clabrow of @the_logic to talk about the future of Canadian crypto, from clearer regulations to what we’re building next at @coinbase, and why trust is the foundation for bringing all of this to Canadians.

NEW: Automated ridehailing could add $1.34B to Canada’s GDP and support 14,000+ jobs by 2050. Canada has the ingredients to compete. The next step is creating a clear path from AV pilots to commercial service across the country. progresschamber.org/research…

While life gets more expensive, crypto gives you more.
Crypto isn't for you. Until you realize it is.

NEW: Coinbase Advanced fees just got reworked.
What changed:
→ Advanced tiers now start at $10K (was $25K)
→ Spot + Derivs volume can both count toward your tier
→ USDC holdings can qualify you for VIP
Plus, Coinbase One members earn 3.5% APY rewards on USDC balances.

my quick take:
- CLARITY didn't pass, which is disappointing
- but we're not going to wait for congress
- the SEC + CFTC have everything they need
- and we're going to get clarity for crypto
crypto is the greatest tool for economic freedom we've ever had. just getting started.

The world’s biggest investors are descending on Toronto for the first-ever Canada Investment Summit.
They’ll be pitched shovel-ready projects in oil and gas, mining, power generation, infrastructure and more.
I hope we see some major deals announced.
But I also hope our guests learn that Canadians are not only “hewers of wood and drawers of water.”
We are also some of the world’s boldest innovators in AI, next-gen compute, space, blockchain and more.
Invest in Canada, yes! Help us build the physical infrastructure to become a global energy and industrial powerhouse.
But also help us build the digital infrastructure needed for Canada—and the world—to thrive in this new technology order.
Our startups are shovel-ready.
Venture capital is shovel-ready.
Builders are shovel-ready.
I will be at the Canadian Global Growth Forum today, hosted by @cvca making this case to global investors
If you want to invest in Canada while pushing the frontier forward, consider Canada’s builder community.

For decades, investors have used derivatives to hedge risk, manage exposure and express a view on the market.
Now, eligible Canadians can access regulated crypto derivatives through @coinbase. A first for Canada!
Trade crypto perps and dated futures (including BTC, ETH, and SOL), commodity futures, Index futures and more with up to 10x thru our CFTC-registered desk.
It's a great day to be Canadian.
Eligible investors in Canada can now trade crypto derivatives on Coinbase.
A first for regulated crypto exchanges in the country.
