What's up with this?
Must be to do with the executive order into crypto

Shady AF. Sounds like they're getting hit by rising interest rates due Silvergate on Tbills. Not sure what the beta is between short/long Tbills they have, but they want to go more fractional reserve and pump dat liquidity. By forcing USDC they can mess around with their offshore mechanisms without the regulatory paper work and international SWIFT messaging. They can also start posting your money as collateral more "efficiently" lol. Coinbase I swear to god is going down. Their last 10-k with crypto near highs was an absolute abomination. Imagine this Q.

On July 13, Coinbase Exchange will be unifying USD and USDC order books. As part of the unification process, USDC order books will be merged under USD order books to create a better, more seamless trading experience with deeper liquidity for USD and USDC.

Translation: These sub-exchanges of Coinbase are going to be mixing dollars and FunBux. I'm already on the record in not trusting USDC, why this is happening is, umm, disturbing? Weird?
