Coinbase Just Flipped the Script--Is This the Real Killer App for Crypto?
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) is making its boldest bet yet: that stablecoinsthose tame, dollar-pegged cousins in crypto's otherwise wild Westcould become the lifeblood of the AI economy. At its recent Crypto x AI hackathon in Brooklyn, the company gave a glimpse into this future. About 100 developers, some flying in from as far as Italy and Malaysia, stayed up through the sweltering August weekend coding AI tools and bots that transact using digital dollars. At the center of it all was x402, Coinbase's new open-source protocol designed to let machines settle in stablecoins over the internetinstantly, without banks, and for pennies. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with COIN. This isn't a marketing gimmick. For Coinbase, it's a strategic pivot away from the highs and lows of trading revenue, and into infrastructure with real-world use cases. With the U.S. now having passed its first federal stablecoin law, the regulatory fog is beginning to liftand the race is on. Stripe recently acquired Bridge and is reportedly building its own blockchain. PayPal launched its own stablecoin, leaning into distribution. But Coinbase's approach focuses on developers. It wants to be the go-to toolkitthe AWS of programmable payments. According to Nemil Dalal, who leads Coinbase's Developer Platform, this is the logical next step in co-founder Brian Armstrong's decade-old roadmap: speculation first, infrastructure second, real-world utility third. Of course, this isn't guaranteed to scale overnight. Visa and Mastercard remain formidable gatekeepers with massive reach. AI's commercial path is still taking shape. And stablecoins, while booming in countries battling inflation, remain a niche payment method in the U.S. Still, for a weekend in Brooklyn, the momentum looked real. Hackathon teams built bots that could charge per query, marketplaces that didn't need banks, and tools that paid creators instantly. The message was hard to miss: crypto might finally be shedding its casino image, and Coinbase is positioning itself to power what comes next.

Here's what has happened to the stock market in the past after the Fed cut rates at record highs
The Federal Reserve is expected to lower interest rates in September for the first time since December, at a time when the stock market has rallied to consecutive record highs. Here's what tends to happen to stocks in this unique backdrop. The fed funds futures market is indicating an 87% chance for a quarter-point rate cut at the Fed's next policy meeting in September, according to the CME's FedWatch tool. The S & P 500 has rebounded more than 30% from its April lows to hit consecutive record highs as investors cheered solid corporate earnings and the prospect for lower rates. "One could argue this is the big dynamic in the game: the Fed is set to cut rates ... into a growth upswing. When taken together with the AI capex surge, that constitutes an objectively friendly backdrop for the market that I don't want to lose sight of amidst local noise," Tony Pasquariello, Goldman Sachs head of hedge fund client coverage, said in a note to clients. Lower rates should be good for stocks for various reasons. They can make safer investments like bonds and savings accounts less appealing due to lower yields. Lower rates also are particularly beneficial for growth stocks, whose value is heavily tied to future profit expectations. But would it boost stocks when the market is already at its peak? Goldman Sachs strategist Jenny Ma looked at S & P 500 performance since 1990 in various time frames after the Fed trimmed rates when the broader market was at or within 1% of a record high. There have been nine such occurrences going back to 1990 when Fed cut rates with the S & P 500 at or close to its peak, Goldman said. Forward returns when the Fed is cutting at the highs are mixed, but it's been generally positive especially after a one-year period, Goldman said. The S & P 500 median return in this environment after a year is 8%, compared with a 9% median return when the market is not at or close to a record, Goldman's analysis showed. "This profile of returns is NOT that much different from when the Fed is cutting and the market is NOT on the highs," Pasquariello said.

Big investors ditch tech ahead of expected September stocks slump
By Nell Mackenzie LONDON (Reuters) -Big investors, fearful of September's typical seasonal declines, exited profitable stock positions on Tuesday, according to investors and trading company research, a sign the selloff in tech may be driven by a broad aversion to risk. The tech-heavy Nasdaq and broad S&P 500 stock index sold off sharply on Tuesday, driven by tech stocks that have rallied hard for much of the year. Nvidia sank 3.5%, the biggest drop in nearly four months. "This week's tech sell-off looks less like panic and more like a broad reshuffling of risk," said Bruno Schneller, managing director at investor Erlen Capital Management. "We've seen crypto, high-beta tech and the AI beneficiaries all come under pressure at the same time, which suggests investors are cutting exposure across multiple risk assets rather than reacting to a single headline." A momentum shift was taking place, noted two other hedge fund investors, declining to be named because they were not authorised to speak publicly. Hedge funds and asset managers were selling their winners, they said. This theme played out earlier on Wednesday in Korean technology stocks and China biotech-related equities, one of the sources said. This week's market moves could be a sign of things to come in the weeks ahead. BUYING EVAPORATES September 3 has historically notched highs for the benchmark S&P 500 index since 1928, after which stocks have fallen most years, said Scott Rubner, head of equity and equity derivatives strategy at Citadel Securities in a note on Tuesday. Stock buying routinely evaporates in September as retail buyers slow their purchases and companies buying back their own stock stop in mid-September for regulatory reasons, Rubner said. "After a summer of strong positioning and relentless upside, September historically brings a shift," he added. Currently, systematic traders such as hedge funds and trend followers have bought all the stock they had planned to and further appetite to push equities higher has petered out, Citadel Securities said. "The final week of August often coincides with low volumes due to vacations, and barbeques contributing to upward drift in stocks, especially in low-volume environments," said Rubner. Plus, larger asset managers will begin to reassess or rebalance their portfolios ahead of the quarter's end in September. "Mostly, we've run out of catalysts to buy more. Valuations are high. What can you point at to justify any higher?" said hedge fund BLKBRD's owner and founder Dan Izzo.
