Coinbase CEO refutes the argument that crypto enthusiasts should turn to AI, stating that cryptocurrency is an indispensable universal infrastructure

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong tweeted in response to the viewpoint "If you're in the cryptocurrency space, turn to AI," stating that this is a flawed way of thinking and a zero-sum game mentality. Brian Armstrong emphasized that cryptocurrency is a universal technology, an infrastructure, just like electricity or the internet. It does not compete with the next hot technology because it supports the latter. It is "both-and," not "either-or." Artificial intelligence, as a major trend, does not diminish the importance of cryptocurrency. On the contrary, it makes cryptocurrency even more important.AI agents require their own financial infrastructure, and ultimately their daily trading volume will far exceed the total of all human trading volumes. They cannot open bank accounts, cannot wait three days to receive remittances, and they cannot reside in just one country. They need real-time programmable money (which is exactly what cryptocurrency is). Agents need to hold funds and make payments themselves. Coinbase was the first to launch the x402 protocol, Base, and USDC, which now support the vast majority of payments for agents. Agents will also participate in trading and act as financial advisors. They will raise or borrow funds for ongoing new projects. They will also save users from the tedious tasks of tax planning, portfolio rebalancing, and bill payments.

BlackRock, Strategy, and others jointly established the Bitcoin Security Alliance, committing to provide $15 million in funding for core developers and quantum resistance research over the next three years

Nine financial institutions and Bitcoin companies announced the joint establishment of the Bitcoin Security Alliance, with founding members including Anchorage Digital, ARK Invest, BlackRock, Block, Blockstream, Coinbase, Fidelity, Galaxy, and Strategy, covering the entire chain of institutions such as custody, trading, infrastructure, payments, and asset management.The alliance commits to providing a total of $15 million in funding over the next three years to support developers and researchers in the field of Bitcoin security, including long-term work to prepare Bitcoin for the future era of quantum computing. Each member independently decides which developers, researchers, or organizations to direct their funding towards. The daily operations of the alliance are coordinated on a voluntary basis by Brink Executive Director Mike Schmidt, with Brink being a nonprofit organization that funds Bitcoin open-source developers.The alliance clearly states that it does not formulate or direct Bitcoin protocols, does not express opinions on specific protocol changes, and does not represent Bitcoin or its developers—Bitcoin development continues to be carried out by a globally decentralized community of contributors. Its positioning is to emulate the model of industry organizations that have long supported open-source software, providing resources and attention to developers without controlling the underlying work.Strategy CEO Phong Le stated, "As long-term holders, ensuring the security of Bitcoin for generations is our greatest incentive"; BlackRock's Global Head of Digital Assets Robert Mitchnick pointed out that the work of Bitcoin core developers is "extremely important," and this commitment will provide "significant additional funding" for Bitcoin's long-term security needs. The alliance will also serve as a reliable source of information for investors, the public, and the media in the field of Bitcoin security, with plans to publish and continuously update materials related to Bitcoin security in the coming months.
