Coinbase’s CEO, Brian Armstrong, has high hopes for the company being more than just a crypto exchange and evolving into a fully-fledged ‘financial super app.’

Best Wallet also aims for the same goal, but through a secure non-custodial wallet built as an all-in-one hub for digital assets.

Coinbase Strives to ‘Replace the Legacy Banks,’ Says CEO

In a recent interview with Fox Business, Armstrong spoke about how Coinbase aims to ‘be a super app and provide financial services’ to become ‘people’s primary account.’

The CEO stressed that the company’s ultimate goal is to replace many of the functions of legacy banks, but in a faster, cheaper, and more modern way – ‘whether it’s trading, rewards, or staking.’

Additionally, he mentioned how outdated financial infrastructure creates friction for payments.

‘Today, merchants are paying these fees to swipe a credit card, with lots of data floating over the internet. That should be opposed to it – it’s one example of many things that can update the financial system, and we are pushing on that frontier.’

— Brian Armstrong, CEO, Coinbase.

He foresees Coinbase directly challenging banks while modernizing money for a crypto-native era. But Coinbase isn’t the only player chasing the super crypto app vision; Best Wallet pursues the same goal, but through a different lens.

Best Wallet’s All-in-One Crypto Hub Raises $16M+

Best Wallet is a secure, non-custodial crypto wallet available on Google Play and iOS.

Unlike Coinbase (which is custodial), however, Best Wallet gives you full control over your private keys. Doing so keeps assets safe from hacks and centralized risks.

Also on the security front, it leverages 2FA, local encryption, biometrics, and cloud backups – each of which minimizes the risk of losing access to your crypto.

Best Wallet security features.

And there’s much more to the wallet than its safeguarding measures. Best Wallet enables you to buy, sell, swap, and manage over 1K digital assets.

Whether you’re interested in stablecoins like $USDT or $USDC, top cryptos like $BTC and $ETH, or meme coins like $DOGE and $PEPE, Best Wallet has tons of assets to cater to all traders’ tastes.

When swapping assets, Best Wallet ensures you get the most competitive rates by scanning 330+ DEXs and 30 bridges.

What’s more, it has a built-in launchpad so that you can access the next crypto to explode hassle-free.

Pushing the app closer to becoming a super app is its many upcoming features: Best Card (an upcoming crypto card), an NFT gallery, analytics tools, and a rewards hub.

The roadmap for the Best Wallet app.

But for the app’s full suite of benefits, you’ll want to scoop up some $BEST. You’ll then be able to enjoy even more perks, like lower gas fees, governance rewards, and staking rewards (currently at an 83% APY).

Whales are notably already noticing the token’s benefits, three of whom have invested $70.2K, $50.9K, and $49.5K into the project. Together, they’ve helped the project raise over $16M on presale.

You, too, can contribute to the presale. This would help bring the app to greater heights; 25% of $BEST’s total token supply is set aside for product development.

Right now you can buy $BEST on presale for as little as $0.025675. If it continues to launch the new developments promised on its roadmap, $BEST has the potential to hit $0.62 in 2026. This means that buying in now might generate an ROI exceeding 2,300% next year.

As always, be sure to do your own research before making any investment. This article is not financial advice.

Grupos católicos y de seguridad advierten que la Ley CLARITY podría debilitar las salvaguardias contra el delito con criptomonedas

Una coalición de líderes católicos, grupos vinculados a la aplicación de la ley y defensores contra la trata de personas advierte que la Ley CLARITY podría debilitar las salvaguardias utilizadas para combatir los delitos habilitados por las criptomonedas. Las críticas se centran en disposiciones que protegerían a los desarrolladores de software no custodio de ser tratados como transmisores de dinero. Este debate aborda una de las cuestiones más difíciles en la regulación de las criptomonedas: cómo distinguir el software neutral de la intermediación financiera. Los defensores de las criptomonedas argumentan que los desarrolladores que publican código no custodio no deben ser regulados como exchanges o procesadores de pagos. Los críticos temen que exenciones amplias puedan dificultar el rastreo de las finanzas ilícitas. El software no custodio es central para las finanzas descentralizadas (DeFi). La Ley CLARITY busca crear reglas más claras de estructura de mercado, pero la oposición muestra que no todas las batallas políticas tratan sobre la protección del inversor. Algunos legisladores también considerarán el impacto en la trata de personas, la evasión de sanciones y la visibilidad para la aplicación de la ley. La resistencia no significa que el proyecto de ley esté muerto, pero podría llevar a enmiendas, salvaguardias más estrictas o requisitos de información adicionales. Para las empresas de criptomonedas, las consecuencias son altas: reglas más claras podrían desbloquear inversiones, pero si el proyecto se enmarca como un debilitamiento de las salvaguardias contra el crimen, su camino político será más difícil.

La crónica del fraude grave que envuelve al unicornio cripto Blockstream

A lo largo de 2024, Blockstream, la empresa de cripto del pionero de Bitcoin Adam Back, se ha visto envuelta en varias controversias. Una investigación de NatInfoSec lanzó graves acusaciones sobre su producto de notas mineras, Blockstream Mining Note (BMN). Los principales señalamientos incluyen: una discrepancia entre el poder de cómputo mostrado (15 EH/s) y el necesario para cumplir con las obligaciones de los BMN (20-45 EH/s); una falta de evidencia verificable pública sobre las operaciones mineras a esa escala; rendimientos anuales fijos inusualmente altos, cercanos al 20%; y el descubrimiento de que Christopher William Cook, figura clave de la operación minera de Blockstream a través de Exacore, tiene antecedentes penales por fraude postal, información no revelada a los inversores. Aunque BitMEX Research y otros como Samson Mow han cuestionado algunos puntos por falta de pruebas o por implicar incorrectamente a BSTR, la compañía de tesorería de Bitcoin asociada a Back, las preguntas centrales sobre los BMN persisten. La comunidad y los analistas exigen mayor transparencia y capacidad de verificación sobre: el tamaño real y los límites de responsabilidad de los BMN; la fuente de los altos rendimientos prometidos; la procedencia verificable de los BTC pagados a los inversores; y el papel exacto de Cook. Hasta ahora, Blockstream no ha emitido una respuesta oficial integral a estas acusaciones.
