Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong rattled off a bunch of crypto buzzwords at the end of its Q3 earnings call — resolving all prediction market bets on them to a “yes” in one swoop. Coinbase boss Brian Armstrong shook up two prediction markets in the final seconds of Thursday’s third-quarter earnings call by dropping a list of crypto buzzwords that Kalshi and Polymarket users bet would be mentioned in the call, resolving all markets to a “yes.” Several Kalshi and Polymarket users were ecstatic that their bets paid off in the final seconds. In contrast, others were understandably rattled to hear that a prediction market could be so easily upended. “I was a little distracted because I was tracking the predictions market about what Coinbase will say in their next earnings call, and I just want to add here, the words Bitcoin, Ethereum, blockchain, staking, and Web3, make sure we get those in before the end of the call,” said Armstrong. Read more Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong rattled off a bunch of crypto buzzwords at the end of its Q3 earnings call — resolving all prediction market bets on them to a “yes” in one swoop.

The request for a substantive injunction was ultimately refused on 12 August. This legal action, triggered after one of the newspaper’s journalists sent questions to Papaya, prompted heated debate about press freedom, censorship, and the responsibilities of both media and financial firms. The headlines were immediate and emotive. “Times of Malta hit by court ‘gagging order’ from e-money firm”. “We’ve been gagged. This is why it matters.” For days, the injunction was portrayed as an assault on press freedom. The newspaper itself argued that “preventing a journalist from publishing a story is recognised in all democratic countries as illegal and a violation of the journalist’s fundamental right to…
