Компания Coinbase стремится оказывать поддержку проектам на ранней стадии развития. Об этом рассказал генеральный директор фирмы Брайан Армстронг.

Joining Coinbase is one of the best ways to learn how to start a startup.

We've invested in ~40 startups founded by former employees.

A lot of great founders launch products internally at Coinbase as well (and benefit from the distribution). Startup founders with sufficient… https://t.co/QBchayxeez pic.twitter.com/PIa2yExP9W

По его словам, криптовалютная биржа активно поддерживает стартапы, основанные бывшими сотрудниками Coinbase:

«Мы инвестировали примерно в 40 стартапов, основанных бывшими сотрудниками. Кроме того, многие соучредители проектов запускают продукты внутри Coinbase», — написал Армстронг.

Также он перечислил некоторые стартапы, основатели которых начинали свою карьеру в Coinbase. Среди проектов, собравших наибольшее количество инвестиций, упоминаются:

децентрализованная биржа деривативов dYdX — $87 млн;
децентрализованный социальный протокол Farcaster — $180 млн;
маркетплейс Magic Eden — $158 млн;
проект Zora — более $60 млн;
протокол кредитования Moonwell — $25 млн.

В дополнение к этому, Брайан Армстронг поделился ссылкой на страницу открытых вакансий Coinbase. На ней указано, что «работа в Coinbase — это занятие не для слабонервных».

«Вас будут толкать за пределы возможностей. Вас будут окружать люди, которые преуспели в своих направлениях, и ожидают того же от вас. Но если вы примете вызов, это может стать самой значимой работой в вашей карьере», — отмечается на сайте.

Напомним, еще в декабре 2023 года CEO Coinbase заявил, что примерно 425 млн людей в мире пользуются криптовалютами. Он назвал криптовалюту «деньгами будущего».

Также Армстронг поделился планами компании на 2024 год. По имеющимся данным, платформа сосредоточится на росте доходов от торговых комиссий за счет международной экспансии и деривативов.

Robinhood Chain Mainnet Goes Live: Can Stocks Finally Be Moved Into Wallets?

Robinhood has officially launched its public mainnet, Robinhood Chain, along with stock-like tokens, the USDG yield product, and a DeFi lending portal. This marks a significant shift where a major online broker is integrating its user interface, regulatory compliance, self-custody wallet, and on-chain protocols into a single, streamlined experience. The goal is to simplify access to stock exposure, stablecoin yields, collateralized lending, and AMM trading for mainstream users. Eligible non-U.S. users can hold these "Stock Tokens"—structured as tokenized debt securities—in the Robinhood Wallet for 24/7 exposure to assets like U.S. stocks or ETFs. U.S. users can access an estimated ~7% APY on dollar-backed USDG through the Robinhood Earn program via self-custody wallets, with lending infrastructure powered by Morpho protocol. Built as a Layer 2 on Arbitrum, Robinhood Chain leverages existing DeFi protocols like Uniswap. The core strategy is not to reinvent DeFi but to channel Robinhood's large traditional finance user base (27.4 million funded customers as of Q1 2026) into on-chain finance, lowering the technical barriers. However, key limitations exist. The stock tokens are not direct equity ownership and are unavailable in the U.S. and some jurisdictions due to regulatory constraints. The ~7% yield is variable and carries inherent DeFi risks, not guaranteed principal protection. Furthermore, while AMMs enable trading, price discovery for major stocks will likely remain anchored in traditional markets like NASDAQ for the foreseeable future. Ultimately, Robinhood Chain is an early experiment in "on-chain brokerage." Its success will depend on real-world metrics like trading volume, sustained user migration to self-custody, stable yield performance, and regulatory feedback, rather than its launch narrative.

Circle CEO Responds to OUSD Challenge: Stablecoin Market Is 'Winner-Takes-All', Consortium Model Doomed to Fail

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire addresses market concerns following the announcement of the Open USD (OUSD) stablecoin project backed by 140 global companies. Allaire argues the stablecoin market exhibits "winner-takes-all" dynamics due to powerful network effects. He cites USDC's near-decade lead in three key areas: 1) **Application Integration & Protocol Development**: Thousands of integrated services and protocols (like CCTP) create utility and lock-in for developers and users. 2) **Liquidity Network Effects**: A deeply embedded, globally distributed liquidity infrastructure across primary and secondary markets, built over years. 3) **Regulatory Integration**: Extensive licensing and compliance groundwork ensuring USDC's acceptance in major markets like Europe and Japan. Allaire challenges OUSD's proposed advantages. He contends that promises of free redemption, while appealing, face market realities where such models can become exit routes for other stablecoins. He also questions the feasibility of fully distributing all revenue to an alliance, stating it would "starve" the critical infrastructure investments needed for scale and utility. Furthermore, he expresses skepticism about large alliance governance models, noting they often lead to slow decision-making and misaligned incentives. While welcoming OUSD to the ecosystem, Allaire reaffirms confidence in USDC's dominant position, backed by its long-term infrastructure investments and strong partnerships, including its ongoing collaboration with Coinbase.

Circle CEO Responds to OUSD Challenge: Alliance Model Doomed to Fail, It's a 'Winner-Takes-All' Game

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire addresses the challenge posed by the new Open USD (OUSD) stablecoin project, backed by 140 global companies. He argues that the stablecoin market exhibits "winner-take-all" characteristics, where USDC's near-decade-long lead in application integrations, global liquidity, and regulatory compliance secures its dominant position. Allaire outlines three key network effects underpinning USDC's strength: 1) Extensive integration as an internet protocol layer, 2) Deep, globally distributed liquidity networks, and 3) Deep integration with global policy and regulatory frameworks. He cites data showing USDC facilitated 80% of on-chain USD stablecoin transaction volume in Q1 2026. He directly counters OUSD's proposed advantages: 1) "Free minting and redemption" may not be sustainable against market realities, which USDC addresses via contractual mechanisms. 2) "Sharing all revenue" risks starving the infrastructure of necessary investment for growth and reliability. 3) A "consortium model" often leads to slow innovation and poor coordination compared to focused, independent operators like Circle. Allaire reaffirms Circle's strong partnership with Coinbase and notes that Circle continues to collaborate with many OUSD founding members. He concludes by welcoming OUSD to the ecosystem while expressing confidence in USDC's entrenched network advantages and continued expansion.

Viewpoint: Why is Bitcoin Still Struggling to Break Above $60,000?

Bitcoin continues to struggle to decisively break above the $60,000 level, largely trading between $58,000 and $61,000. Three main pressures are identified for this consolidation. First, US spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced their worst month of net outflows in June, weakening institutional buying support. Second, the expiry of a massive batch of Bitcoin options around $100 billion on Deribit around June 26 created crowded trading and hedging activity near the $60,000 strike price, amplifying volatility. Third, a more hawkish Federal Reserve stance and resilient US economic data have tempered expectations for rapid interest rate cuts, strengthening the dollar and weighing on risk assets like Bitcoin. The current technical picture suggests a tug-of-war within a range. Key resistance is seen at $62,000; a sustained move above this level is needed to confirm a stronger recovery. On the downside, support lies around $58,000, with a break potentially opening the door to a test of the $55,000-$56,000 zone. For Bitcoin to sustainably reclaim $60,000 as support, a reversal in ETF fund flows, a more favorable macro environment, and a clear technical breakout above $62,000 are likely required. Until then, $60,000 remains a significant price barrier.

dYdX Changes Tack and Starts Anew, This Time Partnering with Robinhood: Will It Succeed?

On July 1st, dYdX Labs, in partnership with Robinhood Crypto, launched the Beta version of Arcus, a new decentralized exchange (DEX). Deployed on the newly launched Robinhood Chain (an L2 built on Arbitrum), Arcus supports spot trading for 95 tokenized stocks and plans to introduce cross-asset perpetual contracts. This marks a separate, new product line for the dYdX team, distinct from the existing dYdX Chain. Arcus's core features promise 24/7 trading, self-custody, and institutional-grade liquidity. Initial offerings include zero-fee web-based spot trading and a perpetual contracts testnet. Future plans involve using tokenized stocks as collateral and providing access to Pre-IPO investments. The platform is not available to users in the US, Canada, the UK, and other restricted jurisdictions. This move follows dYdX's v4 upgrade, which, while achieving full decentralization, faced criticism over performance and tokenomics, leading to a loss of market share. Arcus represents a strategic pivot, leveraging Robinhood's vast user base to target the RWA (Real World Assets) sector and global 24/7 trading. The dYdX Foundation clarified that Arcus is a parallel product incubated by dYdX Labs, and the original dYdX Chain continues to operate independently. While no official token plans have been announced, market participants speculate about potential new tokens or airdrops from the Arcus project.
