TechFlowPost frames the new Cold War as a technology-and-finance contest

TechFlowPost published an opinion article on July 31 arguing that finance functions as a tool of social mobilization and that the latest phase of great-power rivalry is moving beyond classic trade conflict into a technology-and-finance struggle. Written by Zuoye, the piece revisits three historical arcs — the U.S.-Soviet Cold War, U.S.-Japan friction, and the current U.S.-China rivalry — and argues that Washington’s pattern has often started with trade pressure before shifting toward financial instruments. In the author’s reading, the Soviet bloc’s dependence on the dollar system, Japan’s post-Plaza demand for U.S. Treasuries, and China’s current position inside a deeply intertwined global system all show different stages of the same strategic logic. The article also argues that stock markets are taking on a more political role, with U.S. equities, especially AI and semiconductor names, described as a new form of “sovereign-grade asset.” It further claims that the latest technology contest is increasingly expressed through financial pricing, equity benchmarks, and capital-market positioning rather than through trade shares alone. The piece is presented as a historical and strategic commentary rather than a report on a single market event.

Base co-founder says ecosystem fund backs global builders, with most teams previously unaffiliated with Coinbase

Base co-founder Jesse Pollak said on X that supporting developers was a core priority from the very start of Base. According to Pollak, he told the team and Coinbase at the time that they needed to do everything possible to help developers, because developers would be the ones creating products that push the world onchain. He pointed to the Base Ecosystem Fund as one of the main ways that goal is being carried out. Pollak said the fund helps teams by providing capital and taking a hands-on role in their growth. He also stressed that most of the teams backed by the fund had no prior connection to Coinbase. Those teams, he said, come from around the world and are exploring work across multiple sectors, including finance. The remarks offer a brief look at how Base describes its developer support strategy and the reach of its ecosystem efforts.
