Coinbase Subdomain Prompts Users to Enter Seed Phrases

admin

Security researchers have raised concerns about a Coinbase-associated Commerce page that appeared to prompt users to enter wallet recovery phrases, warning that such a flow could normalize behavior commonly exploited in phishing scams. The page has circulated widely on social media after being flagged by the founder of the blockchain security platform SlowMist, Yu Xian, widely known as Cos. “I’m really puzzled why Coinbase would have a page like this, directly asking users to input their plaintext mnemonic phrases for asset recovery,” Yu wrote in an X post on Wednesday,…

Coinbase User IRS Block Petition Dismissed After Procedural Failure

admin

A California court on Wednesday dismissed a Coinbase user’s attempt to block an IRS summons for his financial records, in at least the second such case in the past year to fail to reach trial.  Roger Metz filed a petition in the Northern District of California in May 2025 to quash an IRS summons ordering Coinbase to hand over his financial records in connection with an audit of his 2022 federal tax return.  His lawyers argued the summons violated his privacy rights, was overbroad and failed to meet basic administrative…

Coinbase competes for Cloudflare deal to build an AI stablecoin

admin

Coinbase is reportedly in the running to partner with Cloudflare on issuing a stablecoin purpose-built for AI transactions. The deal, first reported by The Information, would position both companies at the intersection of two industries that can’t stop talking about each other. If that sounds like a corporate Mad Libs combining every buzzy term of 2025 — AI, stablecoins, agents — well, it kind of is. But there’s a real problem being solved here, and the companies chasing it aren’t exactly startups running on vibes. What we know about the…

The toolkit, called AgentKit, launched today in beta and integrates World’s identity verification system with x402, an open protocol developed by Coinbase and Cloudflare. The technology allows AI agents to carry cryptographic proof that they represent a unique human while interacting with websites, application programming interfaces, and digital services. The release targets a growing problem in AI…

Coinbase Execs Say They Aren’t Opposing BTC Tax Exemption

admin

Executives at Coinbase have denied allegations that the crypto exchange is blocking a de minimis tax exemption for Bitcoin (BTC) transactions below a certain threshold to push for stablecoin tax exemptions. Several Bitcoin advocates speculated on social media that the exchange told US lawmakers that a BTC tax exemption is not needed because BTC is not widely used as a medium of exchange. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong responded by calling the allegations “totally false” and a form of misinformation. “I’ve spent a bunch of time lobbying for Bitcoin’s de minimis…
