The Coinbase exchange presented its own "second layer", which will be called Base. The network is built in cooperation with Optimism. Welcome to the testnet, where you can test the development of new dexes, wallets, NFTs, landings, and more. The project's goal is ambitious: to push the industry to 1 billion users.

Over the last day, Voyager Digital transferred assets worth approximately $9.6 million to Coinbase, Binance US, and Kraken, including 4.9 million VGX, 221,000 LINK, 3,050 ETH, and 270 billion SHIB. Another interesting fact: one of the addresses has 6.8 trillion SHIB, putting it in 18th place among the largest owners of the meme coins after the transfer. We've got a riddle for you: you're broke, you need money, the enemy is nearby, so you transfer 270 billion coins to the exchange. Is it for a far-off journey or an inheritance?

The agreement, which turned the crypto exchange into a Premium Partner of the Bundesliga club, will last until the end of June 2023. Under the new terms, Coinbase will promote its products and services at Signal-Iduna-Park (the club's home stadium) and provide crypto-educational programs for team members. The numbers of the deal are not disclosed. But it is not that important. After all, we are still Barcelona's fans.

Ethereum supporters are looking forward to the upcoming crypto spring. Another network update, dubbed Shanghai Fork, is scheduled for March. Shanghai Fork will allow users to access the funds locked into the Ethereum Beacon Chain. Depositors will be able to participate in validating transactions and earn newly-created Ethereum. J.P. Morgan believes Shanghai Fork will be a pleasant surprise for Coinbase as well. It estimates that up to 95% of retail investors of this crypto exchange will be able to participate in Ethereum staking after the update. The matter is that Coinbase may get additional revenue of about $225-$545 million per year.

Hacks and phishing attacks prompted Coinbase Wallet devs to enhance user security. So now Coinbase Wallet features: 📌transaction preview to avoid unwanted token swaps. 📌malicious dApps alerts. 📌alerts in case of unauthorized access to your token balance. 📌push notifications about the upcoming token burn. Good job! But to reach full control, the wallet should also report price slippage. This will be the highest zen of trading.

Conor Grogan, Head of Product Business Operations at Coinbase, called attention to dubious transactions carried out by anonymous wallets that were purchasing tokens minutes before Binance listing announcements and selling them during the pump. The purchase of Rar, ERN, TORN, and RAMP tokens are examples of such transactions. A $100,000 to $900,000 worth of transactions were made. The "trader" earned several million dollars over the course of several transactions. Grogan speculated that it could be either a rogue employee or a trader who might have access to the losing API. Editors' note: don't make it up! Ukrainian deputy Oleh Liashko won the lottery three times and took home the grand prize each time. It's just luck, a strong instinct, and a desire for victory!

Chainalysis investigators claim that a few hours before the announcement of bankruptcy, funds totaling about $155 million were withdrawn from the Genesis exchange: - 50,000 ETH to Coinbase - 20,000 ETH to Bitstamp - 5,000 ETH and 3.9 million USDT to Kraken - 7.7M FTM to Binance - 36 million USDT to an unknown wallet Some analysts speculate that this could be a partial repayment of Genesis' debt to creditors. Of course, it is the case! That's exactly what all bankrupts do before filing for bankruptcy.
