2/ On a truly interoperable network, consumers and businesses have actual leverage against intermediaries because they can port their business elsewhere without having to rebuild their audience, social graph, or customer base. Developers also won’t worry about their platform becoming a competitor overnight.

1/ Imagine a world where you can send and receive messages irrespective of the messaging app you use. Same with sending and receiving money, reading updates from your social or news feed, finding the right product or service, or interacting with an AI agent.

3/ The excuse, at least from the SEC, is that rules written in 1933 and a framework for financial markets designed when we relied on open outcry trading, physical stock certificates and prices rolled out on ticker tape do not need any updating.

2/ It also ironically helps projects that are comfortable breaking the law, as we have seen with the FTX scandal.

1/ When regulation arrives too late, policymakers push the best innovators out by failing to provide them with clarity. That’s what is happening in the United States with crypto, and comes at the risk of the country squandering its lead.

Coinbase has consistently been at the forefront of crypto innovation, playing a crucial role in driving us towards mainstream adoption. It has been a pleasure collaborating with Coinbase’s engineering, product, and business teams to bring Lightning ⚡️ to @Coinbase in the near future.

Frames are the first example of Web3 competing with Web2 in a way that’s hard to replicate for tech incumbents. That’s powerful! 🔥 https://www.forbes.com/sites/christiancatalini/2024/02/19/is-cryptos-killer-app-finally-here/

Frames are the type of innovation that is hard for incumbents to replicate. Permissionless creativity at its best.
