At the top of today’s Real Vision Crypto Daily Briefing, Nico Brugge and Ash Bennington break down what Coinbase’s second-quarter financial and operating numbers mean for the company and for the crypto industry as a whole. Nico and Ash also talk about a deal between FTX and Reddit to simplify crypto use for the social network’s community and the good news of one of the top DeFi platforms repelling an attack that used a domain exploit.
