Tim Draper Admits 'Ouch' Moment After Passing on Coinbase — His Son Saw a Crypto Fortune in the Making

Tim Draper Saw Coinbases Potential — But Misjudged When Crypto Would Arrive　　Tim Draper, the veteran venture capitalist behind Draper Associates, says his early Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) decision came down to timing rather than conviction in Brian Armstrong, the crypto exchanges co-founder and CEO.　　The venture capitalist had already invested in Coinlab, an early Bitcoin company focused on building infrastructure around the emerging cryptocurrency industry, when Armstrong presented Coinbase as a simpler path for consumers to access digital assets.　　“I loved Brian Armstrong from the moment he walked into my office, but I had already invested in Coinlab, so I didnt invest at first. But my son, Adam did,” Tim Draper stated in an X post on July 14.　　At the time, Draper believed Coinbase faced a long period before cryptocurrency became a mainstream consumer product. Armstrong, however, was building a company around the idea that easier access could help accelerate adoption rather than simply wait for demand to appear. Tim Draper further shared:　　“I decided Coinbase would have too long a road to success, so I passed. Ouch.”　　Adam Draper Saw the Opportunity Before His Father Did　　Adam Draper, the founder of Boost VC and a venture capitalist focused heavily on blockchain and emerging technology startups,

Coinbase Reshuffles Base Leadership as Jesse Pollak Refocuses on Infrastructure

Coinbase has reorganized leadership for its Base ecosystem after acknowledging that several early growth initiatives failed to deliver expected results. Jesse Pollak will step away from leading the Base app team and concentrate on strengthening the blockchains core infrastructure.　　Meanwhile, Jordan Fish, widely known as Cobie, will oversee the Base app strategy following Coinbases acquisition of his Echo platform. The leadership transition reflects a broader effort to position Base for institutional adoption as competition among Ethereum Layer 2 networks intensifies.　　Base Shifts Toward Trading, Stablecoins, and AI　　Pollak admitted that Base invested heavily in social products, creator coins, and decentralized social applications during early 2026. However, those initiatives struggled to gain lasting traction.　　lots of conversations about base over the last week. wanted to share my candid take after a week of listening and a lot of reflection over the last 6 months.　　first off – in case its not obvious, the first quarter of 2026 was a punch in the face.

Kraken Institutional partners with Upshift to offer custom DeFi vaults for yield generation

Kraken Institutional has announced a partnership with on-chain yield platform Upshift to launch a custom Vault service designed for institutional clients. The service will allow qualified investors to generate yield on custodied digital assets, including Bitcoin ($BTC), Ethereum ($ETH), and stablecoins, through tailored DeFi strategies.　　Partnership details and service structure　　According to a report from The Block, the collaboration involves building dedicated vaults that are customized to each clients investment strategy, risk tolerance, liquidity requirements, and asset composition. This approach moves beyond standard yield products by offering institutional-grade flexibility and control over DeFi exposure.　　The vaults will be managed through Upshift‘s on-chain yield infrastructure, which integrates with Kraken’s custody and trading services. This allows clients to maintain their assets under Krakens security framework while accessing decentralized finance opportunities.　　Market context and institutional demand　　The launch comes amid growing institutional appetite for yield-generating products in the crypto space. Traditional finance players have increasingly sought ways to deploy idle digital assets productively, particularly in a low-yield macroeconomic environment. However, many institutions have been cautious about DeFi due to concerns around smart contract risk, liquidity fragmentation, and regulatory uncertainty.　　By offering custom vaults with dedicated risk parameters, Kraken and Upshift aim to address these concerns while providing a compliant

Pi Network News: Expert Warns Pi Could Lose Top-100 Status Below $0.01 Amid Supply Crisis

Crypto expert Dr Altcoin has alleged that Pi Network is facing a supply crisis tied to a wave of token unlocks scheduled for the second half of 2026.　　According to the post, pioneers who locked their Pi for three years are now seeing large amounts of that supply released. Roughly 775.8 million Pi tokens are set to unlock between now and December 2026. That works out to an average of 129.3 million Pi tokens unlocked each month now. Dr Altcoin argued that a significant portion of this unlocked supply is likely to reach exchanges, adding further selling pressure to the market.　　Calls for the Pi Core Team to respond　　The post argued that no single announcement, ecosystem update, or exchange listing would be enough to stabilize price without the Pi Core Team directly addressing supply, demand, and liquidity concerns. It called for the team to publicly acknowledge the situation and discuss potential solutions with the community, framing continued silence as a failure of leadership.　　Proposed steps, according to the post　　Dr Altcoin outlined several measures that could be considered if the Core Team continues its current communication approach:Burning a substantial portion of remaining supply, potentially as much as 50%, drawing a comparison to Stellars historical

ZCash up 11% amid $12M short liquidations – Can ZEC reach $626？

ZCash [$ZEC] has long led the privacy sector in social trends and capital inflows. Over the past 24 hours, $ZEC rallied over 11%, outpacing Bitcoin [BTC] and the broader crypto market.　　Moreover, the daily trading volume was up 43%, surpassing $647 million. This indicated a spike in speculative trading, but it was not the volume that led to the technical breakout on the charts. But short liquidations did.　　Impact of massive short liquidations on $ZEC　　The daily surge has mainly come from short liquidations, which totaled $12.75 million. On the other hand, long liquidations reached almost $500K. This meant that short liquidations were 26 times bigger than longs.　　The volumes showed the derivative market mainly drove the price rather than the spot market. Zcash futures trading exceeded $2.437 billion, dwarfing the volume of Spot traders at $255 million.　　The largest Spot volume was on Binance and Coinbase, respectively.　　Source: CoinGlass　　Spot sellers were not spared either. As per Onchain Lens, a whale on Hyperliquid was fully liquidated for more than $1.81 million in a $ZEC short order, losing about $130.5K.　　Source: Onchain Lens　　Looking at the bigger picture, the OI-Weighted Funding Rate turned green from being red two days ago, as per CoinGlass. The indicator reading was 0.0086%, showing

Which Crypto Companies and Protocols Make The Most Money？

Tether makes the most money in crypto, and it is not close. Over the last 30 days it retained $481.74 million in revenue, against $193.08 million for Circle in second place. Canton (@CantonNetwork) is third with $56.1 million, less than an eighth of what Tether keeps.　　They do charge fees, but the fees barely matter. Circle books $653 million of its $694 million in Q1 2026 revenue as reserve income, the interest on the T-bills and cash backing $USDC. Everything else it charges for, cross-chain transfers included, came to $42 million. The float is the business. Usage is a rounding error on it.　　Why Fees, Revenue and Profit Are Three Different Numbers　　DefiLlama splits its data across two pages, and the gap between them is the story.　　Fees are what users pay. Revenue is what the protocol keeps after paying out liquidity providers, stakers, rebates, and referral cuts. For most businesses on the board, that gap is wide. For the two at the top, it barely exists. Tethers fees and revenue over 30 days are identical, and Circle keeps $193.08 million of the $193.97 million it collects.　　Retained is still not profit. A company has staff, servers, lawyers, and compliance costs. A protocol may distribute

Stanford study exposes Polymarket flaw that rewards Bitcoin manipulation

A new academic study has found that Polymarkets five-minute Bitcoin prediction contracts have created incentives for sophisticated traders to manipulate spot prices and profit at the expense of ordinary participants.　　According to researchers from Stanford University and Singapore Management University, the structure of Polymarket‘s short-duration Bitcoin markets encourages traders to influence the cryptocurrency’s spot price shortly before contracts settle. Their paper concluded that the issue stems from the way settlement prices are calculated rather than from prediction markets themselves.　　The researchers examined contracts that ask users to predict whether Bitcoin will finish above or below a fixed price within five minutes. Because settlements rely on Chainlink price feeds based on Bitcoins market price at the end of each trading window, traders who hold large positions may have an incentive to push the spot price in a favorable direction just before settlement.　　Settlement design creates opportunities for manipulation　　After comparing market activity before and after Polymarket introduced these contracts in July 2024, the researchers identified a clear pattern in Bitcoin trading. According to the study, spot-market order flow increased sharply near settlement, and prices frequently reversed soon afterward, behavior the researchers said is consistent with settlement-price manipulation.　　The paper estimated that the trading pattern shifted roughly

BlackRock CEO Weighs In on Bitcoin Price Action

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says he is no longer concerned about excessive leverage in the Bitcoin market.　　Earlier this Wednesday, he told CNBC that the cryptocurrency has become considerably more stable after speculative positions ended up being washed out.　　Fink stated that he “was always worried about the leverage in Bitcoin and crypto.”　　According to the BlackRock chief, that dynamic has largely changed. “Thats why we had to wash out,” he added. “And I think theres more stability at these levels here.”　　AI driving profitability　　Much of the interview focused on artificial intelligence rather than cryptocurrencies. Fink argued that demand for computing infrastructure continues to outpace supply and that the United States risks falling behind.　　Digital Currencies　　Fink expressed strong optimism about financial markets over the coming year. He has argued that advances in artificial intelligence will continue driving corporate profitability. “Im very bullish on the markets over the next 12 months,” he said.　　Fink attributed that optimism to rapid technological innovation. “I think the technological revolution is going to power better margins for more companies.”　　He pointed to BlackRock itself as an example of how AI is already improving efficiency. “Weve raised our margins... by 260 basis points over the last 12 months.
