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.

Thanks to Opensea being down rn, I visited Blur again for the first time in ages & I just found out that Blur finally changed its BAYC collection icon from a crazy eyed ape to a clean naked 5T ape

Still won’t change my thoughts about Blur

My thoughts being… FUCK BLUR

Otherside in the last 24hrs:

> 500+ voyagers participating in treasure hunt for 20 Arsham Voyager Passes in Otherside

> 100 voyagers participating in Ibiza Art Weekend IRL, thanks to Otherside

Metaverse is the alpha.
IRL is the alpha.
@OthersideMeta is the alpha.

These are all PFPs but they operate in different lanes:

> Cryptopunks is fine art

> Bored Ape is club membership

> Pudgy Penguins is the 1st collectible for a mainstream brand

> Azuki is the 1st collectible for an anime brand

We often see them as competitors, but in reality, they’re in their own lanes

Since the NFT space is too small, we only see that they attract the same collectors, same liquidity, same market

But the truth is, their vision is much bigger than winning the minuscule NFT market

Think bigger

Starlink is now by far the largest satellite constellation in human history and no other network even comes close

With 10,199+ satellites currently in orbit, Starlink makes up over 2/3 of all active satellites circling Earth right now

This massive ring of satellites is already delivering high-speed internet to millions of people across the planet from remote villages and disaster zones to ships at sea, airplanes in flight, and even Antarctica and places where high-speed internet never existed before

SpaceX keeps launching more satellites like every other day. The network is growing fast and getting better every month

Best part is, it’s designed to be very responsible. All Starlink satellites orbit at a low altitude (480–550 km). Even if one ever lost control, it would run out of fuel within 5 years and naturally burn up in the atmosphere. No long-term space junk and SpaceX actively provides free satellite collision warning data to every space agency out there and built a traffic network in space to make it easier for other operators

The future of global connectivity is literally circling above us right now 🔥

From Apollo to Orion: Five Decades of Progress in a Single CapsuleThe 1972 Apollo Command Module was an engineering marvel of its time — a compact home for three astronauts on short, high-stakes missions to the lunar surface. Tight quarters, basic systems, and just enough room to get the job https://t.co/tzjRMtXB55 forward to the Orion spacecraft flying Artemis II in 2026: a clear leap forward. Larger and more capable, Orion offers significantly more habitable volume for its four-person crew — roughly 60% more interior space than Apollo (about 330 cubic feet versus Apollo’s ~210). It includes modern comforts like a dedicated Universal Waste Management System (a proper microgravity toilet), better life support, and design features built for longer deep-space journeys.This isn’t just a bigger capsule — it represents over half a century of hard-won lessons in human spaceflight. Where Apollo left footprints, Orion is helping us build toward a sustained presence on and around the Moon, paving the way for long-term exploration and eventual journeys deeper into the solar system.The contrast is stunning. The ambition?
Even greater.(Credit: NASA)
