Still building out the Automatic LP Manager... adding new features daily. Just added Telegram notification support. A few bugs left to iron out, but it’s getting close to a GA release 🔜™️
Got bored over the weekend so I teamed up with Claude and built an auto-rebalancing Uniswap LP manager in Python.
It polls Uniwap LP position every 15 mins. If the LP is out of range for 30+ mins it:
• removes liquidity
• collects the fees
• rebalances the coins 50 / 50
• remints the LP at a new range
Who knows, I might release it publicly.
Bear markets are for building 🛠️

Something that got missed in the noise last week: Coinbase got approved to offer true global crypto perps in the US. This took many years of work, and we're the first to offer this global liquidity to US users.
Backstory: For many years crypto trading has been moving offshore because the US didn't have clear rules, and perpetual futures were a superior product that traders wanted but it wasn't allowed in the US.
If we're being honest, probably ~half of all perpetual futures volume was Americans using offshore products via VPN with loose KYC controls (an open secret in the industry). Penalties for this were rarely, if ever, enforced, which as you can imagine, was frustrating for us as an American company following the rules. Others set up offshore entities and found ways around it.
After dozens of personal visits to DC, and many more from our policy team, I'm really proud we finally got approval to give US users access to true, global perpetual futures. This is important because we'll now see pooled global liquidity in perpetual futures, with the US and international markets being connected instead of fragmented.
Coinbase is strongest in the US, and the US is the largest market for trading, so there is now a chance to build a global network effect around liquidity. And US traders can now use these products in a compliant way with a US company, which hopefully provides greater customer protection.
Major credit to Chair Selig and Atkins on recognizing the importance of this for US capital markets. And we will keep working to update the system in a compliant way, and to be the best place you can trade.

@pete_rizzo_ His real estate analogy ignores liquidity, which makes it misleading. If you suddenly flood the market with land for sale in the same area, supply overwhelms demand and the market value of comparable land would likely collapse. The same principle applies to any asset market
@pasi_hokkanen@duonine Luna could have paused / reduced the dividend but do kwons ego wouldn't let them. The same ego that will be Saylor and Strategies downfall
@Strategy showing willingness to sell bitcoin:native is HUGELY beneficial for $STRC holders. They just proved that nothing is a sacred cow and they will defend the dividend at all cost. That effectively unlocks the entire balance sheet + the common ATM to support the dividend on $STRC.
Obviously nothing is guaranteed in life and bitcoin:native could certainly fall to $5k again, but I feel pretty darn confident in the $STRC dividend.
That doesn't mean the price can't depeg like we are seeing now, but as long as you're not levered against it (you're not levered are you, anon?), you can just ride it out and clip dividends.
