Aave community proposal recommends adding native USDC to the V3 Base market

Aave community member EzR3aL initiated a temperature check proposal on the governance forum to add native USDC to the Aave V3 Base market. Currently, the Aave V3 Base market only supports the bridged version of USDC called "USDbC". As of November 23, the supply of USDC on Base was 159 million, while the supply of the bridged version was approximately 74 million. Coinbase supports both assets and converts USDbC to USDC when users withdraw from Coinbase, causing the supply of USDbC to decrease over time.

  • Coinbase Plans to Target Australia's Self-Managed Pensions Sector with New Service

    Coinbase is developing a service that will target Australia's self-managed pensions sector, according to the exchange's Asia-Pacific Managing Director John O'Loghlen. The move comes as self-managed funds in Australia have increasingly held crypto, with nearly A$1 billion ($664 million) allocated to crypto as of the latest data from the Australian Taxation Office. O'Loghlen stated that Coinbase's offering will aim to service these clients on a one-off basis and retain their business. The interest in crypto within the self-managed pensions sector may be driven by the recent momentum gained after spot-ETF approvals in the U.S. and the possibility of similar approvals in Australia this year.
