Coinbase Insider: Why Bitcoin & Crypto Are Ready to Move MUCH Higher

John D’Agostino is Head of Strategy for Coinbase Institutional, where he works with the big institutions coming into crypto. Before that, as Head of Strategy at NYMEX, he led the launch of the Dubai Mercantile Exchange, a story so wild it became Ben Mezrich’s bestseller Rigged. What does Coinbase see coming that the rest of the market doesn’t? We discuss the hidden signals that tell him crypto is healthier than it looks, why the Middle East is quietly becoming crypto’s new capital, how sovereign wealth funds are really buying Bitcoin, why your stocks are about to trade 24/7 on-chain, what it was like inside Coinbase when Gensler’s SEC cut them off, why public opinion matters more than any bill in Washington, how a boring Bitcoin could change the world, what meme coins and Hyperliquid proved about the future of markets, and why he thinks one exchange will soon trade everything.
