Jesse Pollak Leaves Base Leadership After Failed Social Strategy

Base creator Jesse Pollak said he is stepping back from leading the app after taking responsibility for one of the biggest mistakes in the network’s history. He admitted that his bet on on-chain social economy had failed to drive crypto adoption like he thought it would. After months of reflection and a week of listening to community feedback, Pollak shared his thoughts on Base’s tough 2026. He <a href="https://x.com/i/status/2077427261586997745" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">described</a> the first quarter as a “punch in the face,” noting that he had spent 2024 and 2025 betting on two ideas that he believed would push the app forward. Base’s long-term strategy was made on the assumption that builders would unlock the next wave of crypto adoption and that this, in turn, would come through on-chain social experiences such as creator platforms, messaging and content. Looking back, Pollak now says only half of his theory was right. According to him, builders did drive the next adoption phase, which was seen in how stablecoins, prediction markets, perp trading and tokenization gained momentum. But social platforms didn’t experience the same level of success, with projects like Farcaster, Zora, mini apps and creator coins <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/farcaster-ditches-social-graph-embraces-on-chain-wallet-as-core-product/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">failing</a> to achieve widespread adoption. “The entire social side of the market that many of us had been building towards disintegrated completely…I was wrong” he wrote. The crypto firm <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/base-launches-tokenized-everything-app-for-social-trading-and-payments/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">launched</a> the Base App in 2025 as a rebrand from its Coinbase Wallet into an “everything app” that combines social networking, trading, messaging, AI tools and creator monetization. However, Pollak admits that the focus on social products left the network struggling to catch up with its competitors. People also lost confidence in the platform, he said, while critics were quick to remind him of every mistake. The Base founder said that he is handing back the app’s leadership to Coinbase so he can focus on the blockchain itself. Jordan Fish, popularly known as Cobie, will now take over his position and lead the product’s next chapter. “We’re going to build Base into the Blockchain for global finance and do everything we can to be the place that the world’s money settles over the next century,”he said. Pollak added that his new mission was to make Base a blockchain that powers global finance, which he says is where crypto’s biggest opportunity now lies. The network’s priorities for the rest of the year will focus on three main areas, including trading, payments and AI agents. The statement ended with him saying that Base isn’t expecting an easy road ahead, with growing competition from companies like Robinhood and Stripe heating up. But instead of expecting users lo

Alpaca raises $135M to fund tokenized agent-first infrastructure

The BNP-backed brokerage infrastructure provider is expanding into tokenized markets and AI-native financial services as both DeFi and TradFi companies pursue onchain business. Brokerage infrastructure provider Alpaca said Thursday that it raised $135 million in a funding round led by Peak XV, along with as much as $300 million in debt financing from Kraken parent Payward and BMO. A January Series D round pulled in $150 million that brought the fintech’s value to $1.15 billion, according to the <a href="https://alpaca.markets/blog/alpaca-raises-135-million-to-scale-agent-first-brokerage-infrastructure-for-tokenized-markets-and-ai-native-financial-services/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">statement</a>. Earlier investors include the venture capital arm of BNP Paribas. Alpaca said it will use the new financing to accelerate its agent-first brokerage and API-first prime brokerage infrastructure. “As tokenization reshapes access to global markets and AI accelerates the creation of new financial applications and market participants, demand is growing for regulated infrastructure built for this paradigm shift,” said Yoshi Yokokawa, co-founder and CEO of Alpaca. The <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/tokenized-stocks-rise-23b-all-time-high" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">global market capitalization of tokenized stocks</a> is at a record $2.3 billion, data aggregator Token Terminal shared in a Wednesday X post. More crypto platforms are bringing traditional investment products onto blockchain rails, in many cases opening up assets to investors outside of the United States. Last month, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/binance-partnership-tokenized-stock-custodian-alpaca" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Binance disclosed a revenue-sharing arrangement</a> with Alpaca, which provides brokerage, clearing and custody infrastructure for Binance’s stock trading product.

Autonomous AI agent economy faces infrastructure gaps: Visa, Artemis

Visa and Artemis found that infrastructure bottlenecks are preventing broader commercial adoption of the autonomous AI agent economy. Artificial intelligence (AI) agents are posing a challenge to the incumbent global card payments infrastructure that is struggling to process high-frequency micropayments, according to a joint report released by payments giant Visa and investment thesis platform Artemis. The joint <a href="https://www.visa.com/api/image-proxy?path=%2Fcontent%2Fdam%2Fvisa%2Freimagine-visa%2Fthought-leadership%2Fdocuments%2Fagentic-payments-report.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">report</a> published Wednesday found that traditional cards were built for human commerce with low-frequency transactions, which is insufficient for AI agents, which need infrastructure with near-zero fees and faster settlement to make agentic micropayments commercially viable. New infrastructure is increasingly necessary since AI agents crossed a key capability threshold in mid-2025, enabling them to discover unfamiliar APIs, evaluate prices and decide on autonomous payments. The report found that AI agents are initiating a foundational change in commerce, but the current infrastructure gaps are limiting their mainstream adoption. Australian crypto exchange Swyftx earlier this week said that <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ai-enabled-businesses-freelancers-could-add-262b-in-stablecoin-volumes-swyftx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">AI-enabled microbusinesses</a> could drive an additional $262 billion in stablecoin volume by 2033, via AI-native payments settled in stablecoins, based on an assumed adoption rate of about 33%. <em>Machine-native micropayment requirements. Source: Artemis, Visa</em> Some agentic payment standards are already showing signs of user adoption, such as the x402 payment protocol developed by Coinbase. The x402 processed $15 million in adjusted volume across over 109 million adjusted transactions since it was launched in May 2025. It saw a sharp acceleration in October 2025, when the monthly transaction count rose from 40,000 to 3.8 million, leading to 38 million transactions processed in October alone. <em>Cumulative adjusted volume on x402 payment protocol. Source: Artemis, Visa</em> A single machine-payments framework could support both stablecoin and traditional card transactions, Visa and Artemis said, adding: <em><strong>Related: </strong></em><a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/stripe-advent-53b-acquire-paypal-report" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em><strong>Stripe, Advent offer $53B to acquire PayPal: Report</strong></em></a> The report said that a single machine payment framework can support both stablecoin-based flows and card transactions, creating a path into agentic payment flows for card networks. It added that Tempo’s Machine Payment Protocol (MPP) now spans both onchain crypto payments and fiat payments via shared payment tokens. Visa said its Card Specification SDK was designed to
