Coinbase announced that it has renamed the Base App to Coinbase Wallet, reversing the renaming decision made a year ago, shifting the focus of the self-custody application towards trading and broader multi-chain access. Ryan Kass, the product lead for Coinbase Wallet, stated that the wallet will serve as a "test kitchen" for products and assets not yet offered by the centralized exchange Coinbase, with the first case being perpetual contracts supported by Hyperliquid. The wallet also supports long-tail assets and plans to gradually integrate as new chains go live.The wallet also supports prediction markets and tokenized stocks. Coinbase stated that the Base App has evolved into a broader multi-chain trading platform, making the restoration of the Coinbase Wallet name a reasonable move. Coinbase promotes the wallet with the selling points of "no KYC, no waiting, borderless," allowing users to start trading within minutes after downloading the app, although some features are still subject to regional restrictions. The wallet will automatically detect and hide scam or malicious tokens, and new markets and asset classes must undergo strict product and compliance reviews before going live.In terms of background, Coinbase renamed Coinbase Wallet to Base App in July 2025, positioning it as a "universal app" that integrates social, mini-apps, messaging, payments, and trading. CEO Brian Armstrong admitted in March this year that the social experiment was "not very successful," after which Base founder Jesse Pollak handed over leadership of the app to Jordan "Cobie" Fish.

The re-staking protocol Renzo Protocol announced its name change to Renzo Finance and launched its first on-chain structured yield product Renzo Basis, which will go live on Hyperliquid, initially supporting BTC and HYPE. Lucas Kozinski, founder of Renzo Labs, stated that basis trading earns funding rate income by simultaneously holding a spot long and a perpetual contract short. Since the long and short positions hedge each other, asset price fluctuations do not affect the yield, and users earn the fees paid by perpetual traders every hour.Renzo stated that the product achieves automation through a triple protection mechanism, including hedge protection, yield protection, and safety buffer. Currently, the product does not use AI automation but instead conducts trading and strategy monitoring through Hyperliquid's proxy wallet (API wallet) with user authorization, without holding user funds. The relevant protection parameters can be customized by users. Renzo emphasized that its product differs from competitors such as Ethena and Bitwise's Superstate in that it is fully on-chain, self-custodied, and allows depositors to choose their own assets, trading venues, and risk parameters.Renzo Basis plans to support all assets on Hyperliquid that have both spot and perpetual markets and expand to other DeFi platforms, with the next stop being Lighter on Robinhood, where on-chain stock perpetual basis trading will be introduced.
