Coinbase Layoffs: Brian Armstrong Cuts 700 Jobs As AI Reshapes Crypto Exchange

Coinbase Layoffs: Brian Armstrong Cuts 700 Jobs As AI Reshapes Crypto Exchange

Coinbase Global plans to eliminate around 700 positions—about 14% of its global staff—as part of a restructuring aimed at slashing costs and shifting the crypto exchange toward an AI-centric model. According to a regulatory filing, the layoffs are calculated using workforce figures from May 1, with most of the cuts expected to wrap up during the second quarter. The timing is tough. Coinbase remains tied to the ups and downs of crypto trading, and CEO Brian Armstrong acknowledged the firm sits in a down market—despite seeing some lift in newer segments like stablecoins, prediction markets, and tokenized assets.

Why Circle Stock Is Jumping Today as Stablecoin Deal Revives U.S. Crypto Bill

Why Circle Stock Is Jumping Today as Stablecoin Deal Revives U.S. Crypto Bill

Circle Internet Group shares surged roughly 10% out of the gate in New York on Monday, following word from Coinbase that lawmakers struck a deal on a crucial stablecoin measure in a U.S. crypto bill long stalled in the Senate. Coinbase stock advanced close to 5%. This is a big deal for Circle. The company’s flagship, USDC, is right in the thick of it—USDC is a stablecoin, pegged to the dollar at $1. Traders’ appetite for USDC feeds directly into the reserves that Circle relies on for income.

Coinbase Stock Rises as Stablecoin Yield Deal Puts Crypto Bill Back in Play

Coinbase Stock Rises as Stablecoin Yield Deal Puts Crypto Bill Back in Play

Coinbase stock climbed in U.S. premarket action Monday after the crypto exchange announced a breakthrough on stablecoin rewards—an issue that had blocked the CLARITY Act in the Senate. The new agreement limits bank-style yields on stablecoins but still allows certain rewards linked to genuine platform activity. Timing is key here—the bill has snapped back onto a May schedule after drifting for months. The CLARITY Act, officially known as the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, cleared the House in July and now waits in the Senate Banking Committee. If it advances, the bill would set up a federal rulebook for digital commodities, dividing oversight between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and, in certain cases, the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Ripple’s RLUSD Gets a Bigger Opening as U.S. Stablecoin Rules Shift Toward Regulated Dollars

Ripple’s RLUSD Gets a Bigger Opening as U.S. Stablecoin Rules Shift Toward Regulated Dollars

With the U.S. Senate hashing out a stablecoin rewards compromise, the push for regulated dollar tokens is gaining steam. Ripple’s RLUSD rollout on OKX suddenly looks more crucial, as lawmakers attempt to break the crypto legislation logjam. Coinbase on Friday confirmed a breakthrough on a sticking point that had blocked the bill’s progress in the Senate. The timing is key as stablecoins—digital tokens pegged to a fixed value, typically one dollar—are shifting beyond their original role as a trading tool and stepping into the regulated world of payments and collateral. The Treasury Department, under the GENIUS Act, has floated rules that would classify approved payment stablecoin issuers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, mandating that they implement sanctions compliance programs.

Canada’s Crypto ATM Ban Is Only the Start of Ottawa’s Financial Crime Crackdown

Canada’s Crypto ATM Ban Is Only the Start of Ottawa’s Financial Crime Crackdown

The Canadian government is moving ahead with legislation to set up a federal Financial Crimes Agency and is also calling for a ban on cryptocurrency ATMs. It’s among Ottawa’s toughest stances so far targeting fraud, money laundering, and the flow of illicit funds. That timing is deliberate. Fraud losses reported by Canadians hit C$704 million in 2025 and have crossed C$2.4 billion since 2022, according to the Spring Economic Update. The report also notes just 5% to 10% of fraud aimed at consumers actually gets reported.

Bitcoin’s $84 Billion Satoshi Mystery Is Back — And Adam Back Says the Clues Don’t Add Up

Bitcoin’s $84 Billion Satoshi Mystery Is Back — And Adam Back Says the Clues Don’t Add Up

Fresh controversy over Satoshi Nakamoto’s true identity is rattling crypto traders, with cryptographer Adam Back disputing key evidence in a new documentary, while actor-director Ben McKenzie argues the unanswered question fuels the crypto narrative. The clock’s important here. Bitcoin was hovering around $76,214 Thursday; Ether sat near $2,256. Any sizable stash of early Bitcoin—enough to move markets—could easily rattle sentiment for a rally that’s already bumping against the $80,000 ceiling.

Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin ETF Is Pulling Cash as BlackRock’s IBIT Stumbles

Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin ETF Is Pulling Cash as BlackRock’s IBIT Stumbles

Money is flowing into Morgan Stanley’s newly launched bitcoin exchange-traded product, despite investors yanking funds from several of the bigger U.S. spot bitcoin offerings. That’s putting Wall Street banks to the test for the first time in a space historically dominated by BlackRock and Fidelity. On April 29, Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust attracted $10.8 million in inflows, according to Farside Investors data. Across U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs, though, investors pulled a net $137.6 million. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust alone saw $54.7 million head for the exits. For context, a net inflow points to new cash entering the fund. A net outflow means investors cashing out.

Robinhood Stock Slides After Crypto Slump Hits Earnings — What Investors Need to Know

Robinhood Stock Slides After Crypto Slump Hits Earnings — What Investors Need to Know

Robinhood Markets tumbled roughly 10% before the opening bell Wednesday, with investors reacting to a miss on both first-quarter profit and revenue. The online broker took a hit as cryptocurrency trading—one of the platform's top revenue drivers—slowed down, dragging results below expectations. Robinhood’s earnings shortfall is drawing attention, coming at a time when the company wants to convince investors it’s not just a play on volatile trading surges like those during the pandemic. Crypto’s been hit hard this year—bitcoin has dropped over 30% in the last six months, as noted by Reuters—so retail trading has slumped right when the market’s been watching for more predictable growth from Robinhood.

Dogecoin’s Latest Move Has Traders Watching One Risk That Could Flip The Rally

Dogecoin pushed closer to $0.11 on Wednesday, building on its momentum after breaking a short-term resistance mark. Traders rotated into higher-beta meme coins, while presale issuers wasted no time latching on to the surge. DOGE was quoted at $0.1101 on CoinGecko, up 10.9% over the past day, with trading volume at roughly $2.91 billion. Dogecoin is breaking out of its recent $0.09-$0.10 rut, forcing a look at just how much meme-coin risk traders are willing to take as the broader crypto space stays choppy. CoinMarketCap listed DOGE at $0.109872, a 10.64% gain for the day, giving it a roughly $16.9 billion market cap and ninth place among all cryptocurrencies.

Robinhood Stock Drops After Earnings Miss as Crypto Slump Hits a Key Revenue Engine

Robinhood Markets took a hit after hours Tuesday, slipping around 6% when the online broker fell short of Wall Street's Q1 profit forecasts. A sharp drop in crypto-trading revenue weighed heavily, outweighing gains seen in options, equities, and prediction markets activity. Shares of the Menlo Park, California firm dropped following the report. The miss comes at a tricky moment for Robinhood. Shares were down over 27% this year, pressure mounting as digital-asset trading slowed—one of the engines behind its latest growth.

What Really Moves Bitcoin Price? 11 Forces That Quietly Push BTC Up or Down

What Really Moves Bitcoin Price? 11 Forces That Quietly Push BTC Up or Down

Ask a group of traders what moves Bitcoin and you’ll probably walk away with a dozen competing theories. Halving? Some say that’s it. Others point to the Fed, the whales, ETF inflows, money printing, Binance order book flows, or just plain old greed and fear—sometimes even the meme-driven “number go up” mindset. Frustratingly, each answer grabs a piece of the truth. Bitcoin’s underlying design is straightforward, but the price action rarely is. Jim Ferraioli at Charles Schwab breaks it down simply: for the long haul, it’s money supply growth, the four-year halving, and adoption that matter; short run, you’re looking at risk appetite, rate moves, the dollar, liquidity, supply held by big players, and potential spillover effects. It boils down to this: Bitcoin’s price moves with supply and demand. Bitcoin.org puts it simply — “The price of a bitcoin is determined by supply and demand.” More buyers than sellers? Price goes up. Too many sellers and not enough buyers? It drops. Underneath the jargon on crypto Twitter, CNBC, or any ETF prospectus, that's the core mechanic.

XRP Price Today: Ripple-Linked Token Slips Near $1.39 — Why K Bank’s Deal Hasn’t Moved the Market

XRP Price Today: Ripple-Linked Token Slips Near $1.39 — Why K Bank’s Deal Hasn’t Moved the Market

XRP slipped to roughly $1.39 on Monday, logging a 2.7% drop for the session despite Ripple’s latest banking partnership in South Korea. The move didn’t boost sentiment across a sluggish crypto landscape. Trading volumes landed around $2.37 billion, and CoinMarketCap kept XRP in the number four spot by market value, its capitalization hovering near $85.9 billion. The key thing here: Ripple lands a fresh banking use case in Asia, but traders are zeroed in on something else—will this move actually boost XRP demand any time soon? K Bank announced it’s teaming up with Ripple, aiming to see if Ripple’s blockchain can make cross-border remittances faster, cheaper and more transparent.

Bitcoin Supply Shock? Saylor’s Latest Buy Puts Strategy Ahead Of BlackRock

Bitcoin Supply Shock? Saylor’s Latest Buy Puts Strategy Ahead Of BlackRock

Strategy Inc. picked up an additional $255 million in bitcoin last week—a smaller haul than some prior buys, but enough to keep Michael Saylor’s firm out in front of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust. The move also intensified the ongoing debate about whether big players are soaking up too much of the available supply. Bitcoin hovered near $77,660, a touch lower on the day, still flirting with that $80,000 mark traders have circled. This purchase stands out, coming just days after Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz warned that Saylor’s pace was fast enough to pressure the supply side. Novogratz, speaking on the All Things Markets podcast, put Strategy's buying at “multiple billions per week,” according to Stocktwits, and said, “there is not enough supply” if that level of demand keeps up. In simple terms, a supply shock hits when buyers soak up more coins than sellers and issuers can add back.

BMNR Stock: BitMine’s $24 Million Ethereum Deal Puts Its 5% ETH Bet Back in Focus

BMNR Stock: BitMine’s $24 Million Ethereum Deal Puts Its 5% ETH Bet Back in Focus

The Ethereum Foundation unloaded 10,000 ether—Ethereum’s native token—in a direct OTC deal with Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc., pocketing roughly $23.9 million. That move throws the spotlight back on the public company’s ambitious Ethereum treasury strategy as U.S. markets get set to reopen Monday. OTC, or over-the-counter, refers to private block trades executed off public exchanges. The deal is modest compared to the entire ether market, but it turns heads: Bitmine stands out as a public company using crypto for its treasury, and this batch of coins came from Ethereum’s primary nonprofit supporter — not an exchange or hedge fund.

With that bump, Bitwise’s total net inflows hit $426 million, according to SoSoValue data cited by PANews. U.S. spot XRP ETFs collectively reported $1.095 billion in net assets and $1.291 billion in cumulative net inflows.

Keel Infrastructure’s Paraguay Sale Puts Former Bitfarms’ AI Data Center Bet on the Clock

Keel Infrastructure’s Paraguay Sale Puts Former Bitfarms’ AI Data Center Bet on the Clock

Keel Infrastructure Corp. has wrapped up the sale of its 70-megawatt Paso Pe facility in Paraguay, pulling in around $13 million after adjustments—less than half of the original deal’s potential $30 million price tag. The move marks the former Bitfarms' full exit from Latin America, as it pivots harder toward AI-driven data-center infrastructure. A megawatt represents power capacity, essential for large-scale computing. The timeline's tight: Keel wrapped up its U.S. redomiciliation—a switch in its corporate legal base—on April 1, just a few weeks before the sale went through. Management frames both the move and the rebrand as steps away from Bitcoin mining, where computers earn and verify bitcoin, and toward high-performance computing, or HPC, which powers AI and other data-heavy tasks.

  • Tesla (TSLA) Trades Above Industry Averages as Investors Weigh Valuation and Growth Bets
    June 30, 2026, 11:55 PM EDT. Tesla is trading at $420.60, up 91.3% over five years, but some numbers point to a stretched valuation. Its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio sits at 16.1x, well above the industry's 0.6x and peers at 1.4x. A separate fair value model comes in at 3.5x. Simply Wall St gives Tesla zero on its valuation checks, saying the stock doesn't stack up by earnings, assets, or cash flow. Bulls keep faith in Tesla's AI, robotics, and energy plans, supporting the high price, but there are worries about Full Self Driving and regulatory issues. The big question is whether Tesla's share price already bakes in its ambitious AI and energy goals or if investors have more to price in.
