Episode 22: Durant’s Coinbase Drama, MetaMask New Token, Robinhood Ventures & What’s Next for Crypto

This week on the Social Ledger Report, JR and Leon unpack some of the biggest crypto stories flying under the radar. If you want to stay ahead of the curve on blockchain, DeFi, and Web3 developments, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

We kick things off with a fun story about Kevin Durant losing his Coinbase account access (and what it says about centralized exchanges). From there, we dive into MetaMask’s stablecoin release and hints of a native token, explore Coinbase’s Basecamp announcements including new lending, futures, and a potential native token, and finish with Robinhood Ventures—a move that could open VC-style investing to everyday people.

Along the way, we also showcase Social Market’s latest updates, including real-time token activity, new wallet functionality, and cross-chain integrations that are shaping the future of on-chain data tracking.
