On June 12th, Coinbase announced the launch of Coinbase for Agents, a new tool that allows users to connect AI agents directly to their Coinbase accounts—enabling these agents to act on users’ behalf within set limits, including executing trades, processing payments, and running custom workflows. The product is currently available in MCP and CLI formats, and works with widely used AI agents like ChatGPT and Claude, combining financial reasoning capabilities with hands-on execution power. Within a user’s authorized scope, these AI agents can carry out spot and derivative crypto trades, plus handle tasks such as portfolio rebalancing, limit order placement, and capital efficiency management tailored to users’ specific financial goals. Looking ahead, Coinbase plans to expand Coinbase for Agents to support trading in stocks, index funds, prediction markets, and commodities.

June 12 — The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force stated that the U.S. "talks big about agreements and negotiations on one hand, while carrying out malicious, ill-intentioned actions on the other." This sharp contradiction between America’s words and deeds is the core driver of regional instability, he argued, noting it has put trade security, the global economy, and the safety of all nations at risk—most critically the security of the Strait of Hormuz. The official went on to warn that if the U.S. launches another attack on Iran, it will face a far stiffer response than in past confrontations. The conflict would escalate further, becoming more widespread, and leave the entire region in a state of insecurity. Citing recent U.S. threats to target Iran’s oil infrastructure, he issued a formal declaration: "Either all nations have access to Iran’s oil and gas exports, or no nation does." (FXStreet)

June 12 — Market figure Serenity, widely known as the "White Hair Stock God," posted online urging U.S. market participants to back key domestic companies like AAOI instead of shorting them. Serenity stressed that the U.S. should focus on strengthening critical AI infrastructure—from laser wafer manufacturing to final production—rather than continuing to outsource transceiver supplies to Asian regions like Malaysia and Thailand. Firms including AAOI, Intel (INTC), IQE, XFAB, Micron (MU), WOLF, SOI, and SIVE are vital to Western supply chains, she noted, and are receiving targeted subsidies to enhance regional supply chain security. Historically, a common trading tactic has involved shorting emerging U.S. or Western stocks while hedging with subsidized overseas companies. But Serenity pointed to past bankruptcies in the energy and solar sectors as evidence this model has inflicted long-term damage on U.S. AI infrastructure and power grids. She is pushing for a shift in this mindse
