Coinbase has published a post-incident review of its July 14 service outage, saying the disruption was triggered by a misconfiguration tied to a routine change deployed to a shared production Kubernetes cluster that supports core infrastructure services. The company said the issue lasted about 50 minutes and did not put customer funds at risk. According to Coinbase, the change was intended to support a migration to a new service deployment model aimed at improving performance and reliability. But a resource naming conflict was not caught in pre-production checks, and the update unexpectedly affected Kubernetes resources tied to the cluster’s Istio Ingress Gateway, knocking that network component offline. Roughly three minutes later, inbound traffic to the cluster stopped, cutting internal services off from several infrastructure components. Coinbase said the outage affected retail trading, deposits and withdrawals, debit card transactions, DEX swaps on Base and Solana, institutional transfer and settlement flows, and parts of its developer platform. The ingress gateway recovered at 13:20 ET, and the incident was mitigated at 13:23 ET. Coinbase also said recovery was slowed by dependency issues in its deployment tooling and by manual checks in its emergency access process.

Ondo Perps has launched support for tokenized stocks as collateral for perpetual futures positions, letting users post Ondo Stocks assets without first converting them into stablecoins or selling existing holdings. The initial rollout covers tokenized S&P 500 ETF exposure through SPYon and tokenized Nasdaq 100 ETF exposure through QQQon. According to Ondo, the feature is designed to turn tokenized equities into productive capital inside derivatives markets rather than leaving them idle on balance sheets. Ondo Perps said cumulative trading volume on the platform has already exceeded $3.8 billion. The company said trader demand has centered on several needs: hedging stock exposure on a single venue, deeper liquidity for equity perpetuals, tighter spreads, lower slippage, execution speeds closer to centralized exchanges, 24/7 market access, and leverage of up to 20x. Ondo described the new collateral model as part of its broader “productive capital” strategy and said it aims to improve capital efficiency for tokenized equities while pushing onchain stock perpetual markets closer to the liquidity and efficiency seen in traditional derivatives. The company added that perpetual trading is only one part of a wider plan to build onchain prime brokerage infrastructure spanning trading, financing, and margin management for tokenized assets.
