Howdy, fellow DailyCoiners,To paraphrase Forrest Gump, “Crypto is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.”

🔥 Coinbase Eyes Super-App Status Amid Regulatory Heat
Despite recent setbacks, including a lawsuit from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is undeterred.
![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/77981fe7-16fc-4e08-96c6-85a75ae7c24e/84408f6d-588c-d4e5-77e2-29334888a7d6.gif?t=1703769902)
At the State of Crypto Summit, Armstrong announced plans to transform Coinbase into a "super-app" over the next five to seven years. 📅
Just Google “Lex Luthor” and tell me there’s no resemblance to Mr Armstrong!
The term "super-app" is borrowed from popular platforms like Alipay and WeChat, which describes applications offering numerous services ranging from messaging to payments.
Armstrong intends to create a super-app for the decentralized world, leveraging blockchain technology to ensure user privacy. 🤐
Armstrong views cryptocurrency as more than an asset class for trading and speculation, citing increased interest from traditional finance firms like BlackRock and Fidelity.
Despite the looming uncertainty brought by recent SEC lawsuits, Coinbase remains steadfast in its innovative vision, embracing the crypto roller coaster ride with a dash of audacity and a sprinkle of optimism.
Just like your Mom’s best cooking!

🚪 TikTok's COO Exits, Praises Blockchain as Game-Changer
TikTok's Chief Operating Officer, V Pappas, is stepping down, leaving behind the world of viral dances to concentrate on entrepreneurial pursuits.
![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/1b434af9-8a56-4b3c-bb16-754a4a2c3a37/93cc921e-e3c6-1435-3bf9-dd74be1b05a1.gif?t=1703769905)
This news broke via an internal memo later shared with the public through Twitter.
What…no dance? 🕺
In the memo, Pappas commended multiple emerging technologies, emphasizing blockchain, hailing it as an "incredible innovation" with future-altering potential.
"Much like a choreographed TikTok dance, the rhythm of innovation never stops. From generative AI and robotics to renewable energy, genomics, and blockchain, the future will surprise us," Pappas wrote.
Notably, TikTok has dipped its toes into the realm of web3 technologies.
In September 2021, the platform launched an NFT collection featuring its most popular creators and integrated the blockchain-based music platform Audius in mid-August of the same year.
But seriously, thanks for the TikTok dances; they’re not annoying at all! 😡

🇯🇵 Japan's MUFG Bank Opens Doors for Stablecoin Issuance
Japan's largest bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. (MUFG), is making waves in the crypto world by initiating conversations with stablecoin issuers to leverage its blockchain platform, Progmat.
![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/414210e0-c308-4f8f-aeac-fe643a9c09ce/9417f6c7-3666-5687-5d29-734851358b48.gif?t=1703769907)
This move follows the introduction of Japan's stablecoin law on June 1, which enables licensed banks and money transfer agents to issue cryptocurrencies. 🏦
Another global power is taking steps forward!
MUFG's VP of Product, Tatsuya Saito, expressed confidence in stablecoins, describing them as the equivalent of a "digital yen," consistently pegged to a traditional currency, in this case, $1.
MUFG, seeing itself as a potential harbinger for third-party security tokens, is looking to establish Japan as a global hub for stablecoin issuance.
Like sushi, stablecoins might become Japan's new global export, revolutionizing the financial landscape. 🍣
Much less tasty, though.
However, MUFG clarified it has no plans to issue its own stablecoin.
