Today we launched gold-backed loans on Coinbase. This is a "big, little launch". We integrate new collaterals from time to time (recently ZEC, HYPE, Staked assets, ...), but with today's launch, liquidity on Coinbase is more than just crypto-backed loans.

Gold-backed loans are live on @coinbase. Borrow USDC against tokenized gold from @Paxos (PAXG) in the Coinbase app, through a new PAXG/USDC market on @base. Powered by @Morpho. Curated by Steakhouse.

Ok fine it's technically a crypto-backed loan because it's tokenized gold. Like I said, "big, little launch". You can tokenize lots of things these days 🙂

Have you ever noticed that when someone posts about how they are using a multi agent system, the post is absolutely unreadable?

Really ruins credibility. I think I don’t believe anyone is actually using a “multi agent swarm” as this group is portraying it, period

An @ecb paper cites @coinbase's integration of Morpho as an example of how major platforms use DeFi lending protocols as the "yield generation layer". The widened distribution of onchain credit is increasingly relevant for macro finance and monetary policies.

Year two of our Acquired Founders Dinner and it’s starting to feel like a tradition. Great to bring together founders who built from the ground up and are now helping shape @Coinbase. Good stories, new connections, and a lot of builder energy 📷

Excited about the work we've been doing to make assets more useful on Coinbase, faster. - Borrow against your HYPE, Zcash - Stake SUI - More soon - what else is top of mind?

Assets you swore you'd never sell: - HYPE - ZEC Assets you can now instantly borrow up to $100k against instead of selling: - HYPE - ZEC Guess that works out.

What is a good example of how you could "fragment liquidity" if you're on a single chain where execution is atomic? Honest q - Why isn't this a market maker skill issue?

When you need cash for a specific opportunity, it can be useful to lock in a rate so you're not exposed to the market. Check out how to take a fixed-rate loan on Coinbase in 60 seconds (ish)
