Unlocking the Future of AI in Crypto

The intersection of AI and blockchain is happening. We see a transformative opportunity in the infrastructure that enables autonomous software to transact at scale.

Here’s how we break it down:

‣ Foundational Rails: stablecoins, settlement layers, and wallet infrastructure form the ecosystem's backbone, ready to monetize recurring machine activity. Early usage data shows promising traction, particularly on @Base and with x402.

‣ Coordination Layer: focuses on agent interaction and collaboration, capturing value through decentralized intelligence and coordinated efforts.

‣ Integrity Layer: ensures trust and verification, this layer captures value through tokenized inference, but it comes with higher execution and ecosystem risks.

In our view, the foundational rails hold the most defensible value for investable opportunities because they monetize recurring machine activity.

As we move forward, how do you see the role of crypto evolving in supporting AI-driven transactions?Image

1/ Our latest Market Call recaps Q1 crypto performance, shares what to expect from next week’s Shapella upgrade, and provides an update on market flows and the latest happenings in DeFi... 🧵

Listen to the call below or on your podcast app:
coinbase.com/institutional/…
2/ BTC was up 72% in Q1, outpacing the 51% rise in ETH. While the rise in BTC outpaced most altcoins, some China-themed tokens such as Conflux (CFX) exhibited eye-popping gains (CFX was up 1623%) on the back of the region’s perceived warming to crypto.
3/ Current options pricing indicates neutral sentiment in BTC, while ETH prices have remained resilient ahead of the Shapella upgrade, which is due to take place on April 12.

Demystifying NFTS ...

In the report linked below, we aim to go beyond the basics of NFTs and assess the current ecosystem, where things are headed, and how institutional investors can best approach the space. Some highlights... 🧵🧵🧵 (1/10)

We just published a report looking into the tokenomics of GRT: “The Graph: Infrastructure for Web 3.0”.

See the full report here→ assets.ctfassets.net/7ca8qfn907uv/3…

Let’s dig in … 🧵 ↓
The Graph has been referred to as the “Google of Blockchains” and it makes up a critical part of the crypto infrastructure necessary for DeFi applications and web 3.0 growth.
However, its fundamentals are somewhat tricky.

Measuring GRT supply is not strictly about issuance vs burn rates, but other considerations include how many tokens are being staked or delegated as well as the GRT being unlocked based on a preset release schedule.
