Good Morning, Asia. Here's what's making news in the markets: Welcome to Asia Morning Briefing, a daily summary of top stories during U.S. hours and an overview of market moves and analysis. For a detailed overview of U.S. markets, see CoinDesk's Crypto Daybook Americas. Rest in Peace, Coinbase Wallet. No, the app itself isn't going away, but it is getting a new name. On its X profile , its name is crossed out and replaced with a 'TBA' and a few question marks. "There’s plenty of speculation about what it means, but I’m leaning toward 'The Base App.' That would fit the idea of Base unveiling a range of in-app experiences directly inside its wallet," Bradley Park, a Seoul-based analyst with DNTV Research, told CoinDesk in an interview. Base Creator Jesse Pollak was tapped to lead Coinbase's Wallet team last October , which lends credence to Park's theory.

Embora os mercados tenham se estabilizado um pouco desde segunda-feira, o sentimento continua frágil em meio a uma nova rodada de tarifas emitidas por Donald Trump e outra semana de fluxos instáveis de ETFs. O BTC foi negociado perto de US$ 114.200 nas horas da tarde asiáticas de terça-feira, permanecendo estável no dia, mas ainda abaixo da faixa-chave de US$ 115.000 – US$ 118.000 que atuou como suporte de curto prazo nas últimas duas semanas. O Ether (ETH) teve um desempenho um pouco melhor...

Welcome to CoinDesk's weekly macro column, where analyst Omkar Godbole writes about his macro observations and analysis in the broader markets. The views expressed in this column aren't investment advice. A major currency pair, which is barely considered volatile, is now rivaling notoriously explosive bitcoin's price performance—unimaginable, right? Not anymore. In June, EUR/USD, the most liquid FX pair in the world, rose nearly 4% to 1.1786, outperforming bitcoin's (BTC) 2.4% gain. Remarkably, both assets are nearly neck and neck in year-to-date performance, each up over 13%. Some observers believe EUR/USD still has room to run higher, a positive sign for EUR-pegged stablecoins, which have already benefited from the single currency's surge. "EUR/USD could face resistance probably in the 1.22/1.23 area," Marc Ostwald, chief economist and global strategist at ADM Investor Services International, said, explaining that the focus is on Germany loosening ...
