概括
Coinbase 致力于为用户提供公平、透明和平等的交易产品体验。为此,我们采取了一系列措施来确保这一点,包括:
*我们不会与任何没有直接参与我们的审核和上市流程的一方沟通协调资产上市方面的决定。这其中包括我们的管理团队中不在资产上市委员会任职的成员(Coinbase 的大多数领导团队成员不在我们的上市委员会任职)、董事会成员、风险投资方及外部投资者。
*Coinbase 风险投资部门从未出售过其投资的任何代币,其由一个独立的团队运作,且对 Coinbase 平台的上币决策不会产生影响
*我们对早期数字资产支持者的计划不具备控制权,且没有其专有信息,包括他们对已上线的资产进行的买卖交易活动。
*我们正一如既往地寻找更多的机制,以进一步和我们的客户立场保持一致,首先是将允许用户根据信息需求,可以更方便地追踪 Coinbase 的数字资产组合变动情况。

Coinbase 致力于为用户提供一个公平有效的市场。正如在我们启动 Asset Hub 时所提到的,我们的目标是上线尽可能多的合规资产。在我们的理想世界里,Coinbase 一方面会上线每一个符合了相关法律和网络安全标准的资产,同时还将为客户提供尽可能多的信息,以便其做出明智的投资决策。我们不会为任何一个上线的代币提供背书,它只是表明该资产符合我们的上币标准。
问题在于,从技术和法律的角度来看,资产上市会耗费很长时间; 而因为其稀缺性,导致它被认为是具有价值的; 因为其价值,它又被一些人认为是这是一种背书。它类似于 Twitter 验证产生的动态,其最初只是一种避免冒名顶替的措施,却无意中发展成了一种身份象征。
作为对透明度承诺的一部分,我们希望在此进一步阐明我们目前的上币流程,并分享我们为确保上币独立于风险投资团队所采取的一系列措施,最后,我们将针对公司资产负债表上的加密资产分享一些深入的见解。
正如我们刚讨论过的,我们首先来阐述一下运作流程。
资产上市
Coinbase 通过一个名为“数字资产上市委员会”运行的正式程序做出上市决策,该委员会遵循常规程序,这些程序被记录在正式政策文件中,且通过了相关监管机构的审查和批准。
数字资产上市委员会通过严格的审查/评审过程,对资产的合规性、法律和信息安全问题进行评估,从而对何种资产被允许上市进行投票。
投票委员会不包括 Coinbase 的首席执行官Brian Armstrong 及Coinbase 的其他全球董事会成员
投票结果不会受到 Coinbase 风险投资部或者我们的投资方是否持有该资产所产生的影响,并且 Coinbase 风险投资部在披露我方在该项目中的利益相关方面将保持透明。
Coinbase 的利益冲突政策将用以防止董事会成员或 Coinbase 员工参与其有财务利益相关的上市决策。
数字资产上市委员会所审核的绝大多数资产均由资产发行人通过我们的 Asset Hub 直接提交
该审核过程非常严格,且大多数提交评估的资产均被拒绝。
员工交易
Coinbase 限制所有员工对公司正在进行审核上市的代币进行交易,以此确保 Coinbase 不会有员工 (包括那些不在资产上市团队工作的成员)参与抢跑交易。
早期投资者交易
Coinbase 不会与项目早期投资方(包括风险投资方)协调代币的上市决策,上市时间安排,以及共享其他正在接受审核的代币信息。
我们无法控制且无从知晓早期代币投资者(风险投资方、创始团队等)的代币销售活动计划。
由于交易通常发生在许多交易所(不仅仅是 Coinbase) ,而且由于代币持有者大户甚至资产发行方往往是未知的,所以我们在任何锁定类型的机制中所发挥的作用有限。
Coinbase 风险投资
Coinbase 投资部门从未出售过其投资的任何代币,也从未 Coinbase 平台的上币决策做出过任何干涉。
我们是长期的投资者。我们在未来或有清算一些资产的可能,但目前并没有任何抛售计划。
我们的投资部和上币团队彼此完全独立运作,在人员或信息共享方面没有任何重叠。
公司资产负债表持仓
Coinbase 的资产负债表上持有我们平台上已支持的大部分资产,这有助于确保我们与客户的利益保持一致。
和我们 Coinbase 的风险投资一样,我们将以更长远的眼光持有这些资产,且目前并没有抛售计划。
虽然对流动性较低的资产持有大量头寸是不切实际的,但我们的目标是在所支持的资产范围内增加风险暴露。
可证明的联盟
正如以上所说,我们在一如既往地寻找新的方式,以更清晰地展示我们与客户一致的立场。虽然 Coinbase 风险投资组合已经公开,而且我们还公布了在10-Q 中持有的加密资产,但我们计划在将来让我们的持仓更加透明
我们将在不久以一种更显而易见的方式来更新我们的资产披露,它将会展示出 (a). Coinbase 持有的资产,(b). Coinbase 风险投资支持的资产(不管它们目前是否已经上市)。
我们在此并不是为了声明我们的投资组合是最出色的,同样也并不构成投资建议。但是我们将会在用户界面中更加明确表明哪些资产是由 Coinbase 持有以及哪些是由 Coinbase 支持,从而用户可以更明智地地决定是否与 Coinbase 的加密资产的持仓保持一致。当然你也可以选择一种完全不同的策略。总之,我们的目标是为用户提供一个由参与者参与决策的公平且高效的市场。

Miners Advised Not to Buy GPUs for AI and to Focus on Infrastructure

A founder at an energy investment forum advises bitcoin miners not to purchase GPUs for AI themselves, but to instead focus on infrastructure like power and data center space. Mike Alfred of Alpine Fox stated that while AI infrastructure demand is a long-term, 20-30 year trend, it presents a key choice for miners. The first, riskier model involves owning and operating GPUs, which requires financing expensive hardware that quickly becomes obsolete. The second, more conservative model is akin to real estate: providing colocation services where clients bring their own servers, and the miner sells space, power, cooling, and water. Alfred noted this model is easier to finance. Most existing bitcoin mining sites are difficult and expensive to convert for AI, as AI data centers require far higher construction costs, redundant fiber connections, backup power, complex cooling, and near 100% uptime. A hybrid model, where mining acts as a flexible load to use excess power during AI data center construction or from generation facilities, was discussed. However, participants concluded this is only viable with very cheap power; otherwise, developers are better off focusing solely on AI. Miners are increasingly being evaluated for their available power capacity and project portfolios rather than just bitcoin output. Panelists also warned of risks in the AI sector, predicting at least one major default or contract breach among AI tenants, lenders, or landlords before bitcoin's next halving in 2028.

Millisecond 'Pay-to-Cut': How Did Hyperliquid's Priority Fee Turn into a Multi-Million Dollar Business?

"Millisecond 'Paid Queue-Jumping': How Hyperliquid's Priority Fee Became a Multi-Million Dollar Annual Business" In traditional finance, high-frequency trading firms spend millions on infrastructure for millisecond advantages. Hyperliquid has translated this race onto the blockchain with its "Priority Fee" system, creating an open economic game for speed. This system auctions two types of priority: **Gossip Priority** for faster data feeds (via a Dutch auction every 3 minutes), and **Order Priority** for front-of-queue trade execution (users bid a fee for lower latency). This converts a hardware race into a transparent, market-priced mechanism. Since launch, this feature has generated over $5M in protocol revenue. Projected annualized buybacks from this income exceed $30M, accounting for ~7% of total protocol revenue. The demand stems from large traders and market makers on Hyperliquid, for whom milliseconds can mean the difference between profit/loss or avoiding liquidation. Market makers pay these fees as "protection" to ensure their orders execute first, which in turn improves liquidity for all users. Crucially, Hyperliquid internalizes Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) that typically leaks to external validators or searchers, creating a new revenue stream beyond trading fees. The mechanism also strengthens HYPE's tokenomics. While 97% of trading fees fund secondary market buybacks (via the Assistance Fund), Priority Fees are **directly burned**, adding a second deflationary engine. Furthermore, fees for order priority are deducted from users' undelegated HYPE balances, encouraging large traders to hold and lock up tokens, reducing circulating supply. However, a key challenge remains: balancing the speed needs of institutional players with fair market access for retail users, as those who cannot pay high fees may suffer worse slippage during volatility. In summary, Hyperliquid's Priority Fee is a novel model that monetizes latency, captures MEV for the protocol, and enhances its native token's value through burning and lock-ups.

The Truth Behind Digital Banking: The Fragile Ecosystem Supporting 1.46 Billion Users

The article "The Truth About Digital Banks: The Fragile Ecosystem Behind 1.46 Billion Users" provides a data-driven analysis of the digital banking sector based on a verified list of 368 active neobanks as of July 2026. While these platforms collectively serve 1.46 billion users, with Asia (817 million users) and institutions like WeBank and Nubank dominating the landscape, the sector faces significant structural vulnerabilities. A key finding is that only 127 of the 368 neobanks hold full banking licenses. The majority operate atop third-party infrastructure providers like Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) platforms, creating systemic risk where the failure of a single provider, as seen in past cases like Wirecard and Synapse, can jeopardize multiple consumer brands. Furthermore, the industry experiences a steady, quiet stream of failures, mergers, and shutdowns that often go unreported. The analysis also examines the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), finding only 67 platforms (18%) have deployed AI at scale, with many innovators based in emerging markets like Nigeria and the Philippines. The infrastructure layer is highly concentrated, with 106 providers supporting the entire ecosystem of 368 consumer-facing brands. The article concludes with three predictions: the unlicensed gap will close through acquisitions or exits; an AI credit model is likely to fail in the next economic downturn; and a nascent but significant trend is the emergence of financial services designed for AI agents rather than humans.

Digital Asset Trading Platform Uphold Cuts 17% of Global Workforce Amid 'Crypto Winter'

Cryptocurrency trading platform Uphold has laid off approximately 17% of its global workforce, affecting 85 full-time employees and contractors. The cuts are part of a strategic shift to reallocate resources towards its rapidly growing corporate services business, as retail cryptocurrency trading activity has declined amid the ongoing market downturn. CEO Simon McLaughlin stated the company is restructuring after years of significant growth and remains confident in the long-term prospects of digital assets and blockchain technology. Founded in 2015, Uphold offers trading and custody services for cryptocurrencies, fiat, stocks, and precious metals. It has recently expanded to provide infrastructure for banks, fintech firms, and broker-dealers to integrate crypto services. The layoffs occur against a backdrop of a prolonged crypto market slump, with total market capitalization falling to around $2.1 trillion by Q2 2024. Factors include weakened trading volumes, reduced retail participation, interest rate hikes, geopolitical uncertainty, and net outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. Uphold clarified it is not shutting down its UK operations or any international offices. The company highlighted strong growth in its corporate platform and announced plans to evolve its consumer app into a broader blockchain-based financial assistant by 2026, offering U.S. stocks, tokenized securities, lending, credit cards, and DeFi yield opportunities.
