A deep-red state joining the state-level fight puts Kentucky's GOP attorney general on the opposite side of a Trump-aligned CFTC — and the contradiction is now the story.
Spot trading is the part of Coinbase Wall Street already models; derivatives, stablecoins and AI rails are the parts they don't yet — and Tuesday's product salvo was about convincing analysts the…
