Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong clarified his comments regarding prediction markets and "insider information," stating that the notion that "insider trading is 100% necessary for prediction markets" is inaccurate, and that related quotations are taken out of context. He pointed out that the value of prediction markets lies in their ability to reflect participants' true judgments through real-money betting, thus creating "signals" closer to the truth. However, this does not equate to encouraging or endorsing traditional insider trading. Armstrong further stated that prediction markets differ from the core logic of the stock market; their goal is not "fair trading" in financial markets, but rather to aggregate information and reduce noise through incentive mechanisms to improve the accuracy of judgments about real-world events. He emphasized that this issue is highly complex and open to discussion, and hoped that outsiders would avoid distorting his views when quoting them.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams, in a post on the X platform, strongly refuted claims about the disadvantages of AMMs (Automated Market Makers). Adams pointed out that in low-volatility currency pairs, AMMs can provide stable returns for investors with low funding costs, thus weakening the competitiveness of professional market makers. In high-volatility long-tail markets, AMMs are the only scalable option, where project teams or early backers, acting as liquidity providers (LPs), create liquidity more effectively than by paying option fees to market makers. Regarding the high-volatility, popular token market, Adams stated that AMMs are continuously growing, and while the order book is currently at its peak, AMM development is still in its early stages. Through the development of hooks in Uniswap v4, more profitable liquidity pools will be available in the future. Adams believes that due to their low funding costs and easier combination and collateralization of liquidity, AMMs will ultimately prevail in this field.
