The team shipped a bunch of new AI features/tools this week: - Making it easier for users to test out agentic trading, with new agentic trading views in Coinbase for Agents - A new @coinbasedev x402 SDK for agentic commerce builders - Businesses can accept agentic payments now with @CoinbaseBiz Our core AI thesis: the agentic economy is going to be huge, it needs new financial rails, and we’re building them.

Something huge just landed at @ResearchHub. Introducing: Endowments. Starting today, everyone holding ResearchCoin (RSC) in their ResearchHub account will automatically earn high-yield Funding Credits, distributed daily. Funding Credits must be used to support projects on ResearchHub, turning your one-time investment into a continuous source of research funding.

Things in an official White House science report we didn't expect to read: - 48-hour grant decisions - funding people, not projects - incentives for negative results - rethinking consensus-driven peer review We pulled some highlights 👇

1. More federal science funding should go directly to labs. 2. Science should be funded faster. 3. Scientists that convert federal funding to products (diagnostics, devices, and drugs) should be rewarded with more and faster #1# and #2#. This alone would exponentially change outcomes for our patients. Currently, this is disproportionately delegated to philanthropic foundations.

This is the way to accelerate science - awesome to see science getting modernized - Refocus on the Individual Scientist - Diversify Funding Mechanisms - Create New Institutional Models - Reduce Bureaucratic Burdens - Institutionalize Continuous Improvement

"Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, communities that pool resources and allocate them through collective governance, are beginning to fund scientific research directly without going through traditional institutional gatekeepers"

At first they ignore you… Then they agree to modernize the $200b/year the US government funds science? Great day for all of the entrepreneurial scientists out there. There’s a bright future ahead for American science 🇺🇸🫡💪

🎥 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗛𝘂𝗯-𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁. Last year, the ResearchHub community and @dmtquest raised $250k in funding for Dr. Richard Harris’ investigation of how 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 reduces pain for those with fibromyalgia. If energy healing can reduce pain levels, HOW is this happening? Dr. Harris has three theories: 1. It's merely a placebo effect. 2. The energy healer is engaging the patient's brain in a specific way that drives pain relief. 3. It's something else, beyond our current understanding of neuroscience. The study is now underway. Using EEG brain imaging, Dr. Harris and his team at @UCIrvine are investigating whether any brain signals shared between the patient and energy healer can explain the effects.

Ok, so a few months ago we proposed a systematic approach to spatial patterning of organoids, kindly funded by @ResearchHub @ResearchHubF . Today we got the first results. Pax6 green. This isn’t the full thing: it’s just activin as the fgf2 beads are delayed. Patterned right

Thanks to @ResearchHubF for bringing CatalystNYC to us and @cure345 @NucleateHQ for sponsoring this amazing event. This was a great opportunity debut the ecosystem we are building at @NorthwellHealth with @KevinJTraceyMD @CliffordF66814! We had investors, innovators, founders, foundations, @NSF @NIH at this amazing, dynamic event! Thanks @joycesticks @jeffyfish9 @TylerDiorio @arshiamalek_!

One day to go. Tomorrow, #CatalystNYC# brings together leaders across science, biotech, philanthropy, venture, and government to discuss how research is funded, published, and translated into real-world impact. See you in New York.

Announcing the official agenda for #CatalystNYC#. Featuring speakers from @ncats_nih_gov, @NSF, @NorthwellHealth, and more. Co-hosted by @cure345 and @NucleateHQ. Explore the full agenda ↓

At #CatalystNYC#, Cliff Friedman, Founder and Managing Partner of @NorthwellHealth Equity Partners, will join a panel on accelerating the path from scientific discovery to clinical application. Drawing on decades in healthcare investing and innovation, he’ll share what it takes to bridge that gap. Request an invitation →

We believe some of the biggest opportunities in science emerge when researchers, industry, government, and philanthropy work together. At #CatalystNYC#, Dr. Bridget Turaga of the National Science Foundation will share how the NSF’s Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP) is building those connections to accelerate emerging technologies. Before joining @NSF, she served on the White House National Security Council and at the U.S. State Department. Request an invitation:

We’re excited to welcome Dr. Joni Rutter, Director of NCATS (National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences), as our Keynote Speaker at #CatalystNYC#! As the head of @ncats_nih_gov, Dr. Rutter leads efforts to accelerate translational research, helping to turn laboratory results into real treatments. Rutter previously led the Division of Neuroscience and Behavior at @NIDAnews and ran scientific programs for the All of Us Research Program. Request your invite to Catalyst NYC here:
