You probably saw it yesterday, over 2.5 billion dollars worth of bitcoin got moved in just 30 minutes. Price tanked, liquidations everywhere, and X immediately turned into the usual battlefield.
Everyone was pointing fingers at the big names, Wintermute, Binance, Coinbase. The narrative? They supposedly pumped the price to trigger shorts, then dumped hard.

Classic suits-at-war drama. Manipulation accusations flying left and right.
Twitter war in suits
It’s exactly the kind of headline that makes you hit refresh on the chart five times in ten minutes and start wondering whether you should just sell before it gets uglier.
🚨 BREAKING
EXCHANGES AND TREASURY COMPANIES ARE NONSTOP DUMPING BITCOIN RIGHT NOW!
WINTERMUTE, BINANCE, BLACKROCK, AND COINBASE ARE LIQUIDATING BILLIONS IN $BTC AT THE SAME TIME.

But hold on a second.
While the timeline was busy arguing about who dumped what and why, three serious companies quietly did things that actually matter to normal people like you and me.
Three kings
Same day as the dump, Coinbase rolled out Agentic Wallets, literally the first wallet system built specifically for AI agents.
These agents can now hold, spend, and trade crypto on their own, with proper guardrails and security.
Small step maybe, but honestly? We just got a bit closer to a world where machines are real participants in the economy, not just chatbots giving advice.

At the same time, Cash App (Jack Dorsey’s outfit) dropped fees to zero on bitcoin buys over $2,000 and on all recurring purchases.
They also bumped up withdrawal limits for qualified users. In plain English, it just became meaningfully cheaper and easier to stack bitcoin over time if you’re a regular person.
And Robinhood opened the public testnet for their own Layer-2 chain (Robinhood Chain) on Arbitrum.
Goal is to bring tokenized assets and smoother on-chain trading to their millions of users without making it feel like rocket science.
In case you missed it, Robinhood Chain is now live on testnet.
An early step in our work to build onchain financial infrastructure, giving developers a place to build ahead of mainnet.

See the pattern yet?
One massive, noisy sell-off sucks up all the oxygen. Meanwhile the actual infrastructure keeps quietly getting better, cheaper, more accessible. That’s usually what ends up mattering way more down the road.
Dumping is loud, but building is louder
Daily price action and Twitter wars are loud. They feel urgent. They get the clicks. But they almost never tell the full story of where things are really heading.
Real progress tends to hide in these quieter moves: better tools, lower friction, new ways for normal people (and soon enough, even machines) to actually use bitcoin and crypto in daily life.
So yeah, 2.5 billion dumped in half an hour is a huge number. No question.
But zoom out a little, and this day might end up being remembered less for the dump itself and more for the fact that three big players just kept building anyway.
