Blockworks has announced the completion of a Series A extension funding round, achieving a post-money valuation of $192 million. The round was co-led by ParaFi Capital and Reciprocal Ventures, with support from Coinbase Ventures, MoonPay Ventures, and several other institutions and industry participants. The funding also attracted investments from over 20 founders and operators of ecosystem projects including Solana, LayerZero, Arbitrum, and Kraken, though the specific amount raised has not been disclosed.The company stated that while the crypto market has grown to a trillion-dollar scale lacking traditional capital market infrastructure, it still faces issues such as fragmented data, inconsistent disclosure standards, and a lack of investor communication mechanisms. Blockworks aims to fill this gap through a "data + disclosure + investor relations" tripartite architecture. (CNBC)

on April 23, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul filed a lawsuit in Dane County against Kalshi, Robinhood, Coinbase, Polymarket, and Crypto.com, accusing these fintech and crypto platforms of facilitating illegal sports betting through event contracts. Josh Kaul is requesting the court to issue preliminary and permanent injunctions, declaring that the platforms' operations violate Wisconsin's gambling laws and constitute a public nuisance. The complaint states that repackaging wagers as event contracts does not change their fundamental nature, with approximately 90% of Kalshi's business coming from sports-related contracts, generating annualized revenue exceeding $1 billion. Robinhood and Coinbase are also implicated in the case, routing user orders to Kalshi's markets through distribution agreements. Regulators in Nevada, Arizona, and Tennessee have also taken similar legal actions or issued cease-and-desist orders.

Coinbase stated it is optimizing the rule creation process in its anti-fraud system by integrating machine learning models with a rule engine to achieve more efficient risk management. It also proposed a dual-track strategy where "models are responsible for long-term defense, and rules are responsible for rapid response," and built a unified framework that creates a feedback loop between the two: rules are used to capture new types of fraudulent behavior and then inversely train the model, thereby continuously enhancing overall defense capabilities.In terms of specific optimizations, Coinbase has transformed the previously manual rule creation process into a data-driven and automatically recommended one by restructuring data architecture, automating Schema evolution, and introducing Notebook-based analysis tools, significantly improving efficiency. Among these improvements, the performance of rule backtesting has increased by more than 10 times, and the overall response time has been shortened from days to hours. Additionally, the new system recommends parameters through machine learning, which helps reduce false positive rates, minimizing the impact on legitimate users while combating fraud.Coinbase stated that its next steps will be to advance event-driven automatic rule generation and explore the ability to "convert" efficient rules into model features with a single click, further moving towards an automated risk management system.
Coinbase announced support for Fluent (BLEND); deposit addresses are now available on its platform (in supported regions), but deposits cannot be made until the asset issuer enables transfers.

Odaily News A 50-page report commissioned by Coinbase indicates that although current quantum computers are not yet capable of cracking the encryption technologies of networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum, fault-tolerant large-scale quantum computers will eventually be built, and the crypto industry must begin preparations now. The report was authored by an independent advisory committee, including cryptographers and scholars such as Dan Boneh from Stanford University, Justin Drake from the Ethereum Foundation, and Sreeram Kannan from Eigen Labs.The report states that estimates for the time it would take quantum computers to break current encryption standards range from several years to over a decade. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology recommends migrating to post-quantum cryptography by 2035, but the report suggests this timeline may be optimistic. Post-quantum cryptography already exists and is undergoing standardization, but post-quantum digital signatures can be tens to hundreds of times larger than existing signatures, potentially increasing block sizes by up to 38 times and introducing challenges such as wallet migration. The Ethereum Foundation has proposed a post-quantum digital signature scheme, and projects like Solana are also experimenting with post-quantum wallet designs. The report recommends adopting flexible transition strategies, such as hybrid systems, to prepare for future upgrades without compromising current security.
According to an official announcement, Coinbase will list Sign (SIGN) spot trading on April 21. The SIGN-USD trading pair will go live later that day, once liquidity conditions are met, in regions where such trading is supported.
Coinbase’s Quantum Computing and Blockchain Independent Advisory Committee released its first position paper, stating that sufficiently powerful quantum computers could one day break the cryptographic mechanisms used by mainstream blockchains to protect digital assets—but such devices do not yet exist, and crypto assets remain secure for now. The industry should begin preparing for quantum-resistant upgrades immediately. The paper notes that Bitcoin mining, hash functions, and on-chain historical records currently face no material risk; the primary vulnerability lies at the wallet layer—in digital signatures. Ethereum has already proposed a relatively clear migration roadmap, while Solana, Algorand, and Aptos have either begun offering or are planning quantum-resistant solutions.
According to an official announcement, Coinbase has suspended trading of 25 perpetual contracts, as previously announced. All outstanding positions in these contracts have been automatically settled at the final settlement price. The affected contracts include TRB, RARE, NEIRO, A, ME, XTZ, KMNO, RAY, STX, ENS, GMT, SNX, 1000FLOKI, 0G, ORDI, NIL, BIO, UMA, BEAM, INIT, SOMI, EGLD, CLANKER, SOPH, and BIGTIME. The final settlement price was calculated as the average index price over the 60 minutes preceding the suspension. Coinbase stated that this action aims to focus on products that consistently meet liquidity and market quality standards, and that it will accelerate the launch of new perpetual contracts by optimizing internal processes.
According to an official announcement, Coinbase will list Opengradient (OPG) spot trading on April 21. If liquidity conditions are met, the OPG-USD trading pair will open later today in supported regions.
