Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong (브라이언 암스트롱) said his personal X account should not be taken as investment advice or a trading signal for individual cryptocurrencies. He said he sometimes does not even know what projects or tokens appear in his posts and that his posts and profile photo do not imply endorsement. He reiterated that Coinbase and Base will not promote specific tokens and outlined ecosystem support measures such as developer programs, grants, investment and product integration.

Odds that the United States will pass the CLARITY bill, a crypto market structure measure, by year-end have fallen to about 40 percent, an outlook said. Democrats are amplifying concerns over President Donald Trump’s potential crypto conflict of interest, raising uncertainty around the bill. Polymarket reflects the reduced probability. Market activity slowed in the second quarter, while prediction markets and tokenised stocks grew. Security threats persisted, and Base said it is shifting strategy.
