Coinbase Billionaire Backs Neuro-Revolution: $100M Pours Into Brain-Tech Venture ’Nudge’
Silicon Valley meets synaptic hacking as crypto royalty bets big on mind-machine interfaces.
From Crypto to Cortex
The Coinbase co-founder swaps blockchain for brainwaves, leading a nine-figure funding round that could make neural augmentation the next VC gold rush—assuming regulators don’t treat it like another ICO.
The $100M Mind Gamble
Nudge’s undisclosed tech promises to ‘optimize’ cognition, though skeptics note most neuro-startups crash harder than a leveraged altcoin portfolio. Early backers include hedge funds that probably think hippocampus is a new DeFi protocol.
Wolf of Wall Street Meets Eternal Sunshine
If successful, Nudge could let traders literally think faster than their competition—finally justifying those 3am crypto panic attacks as ‘biohacking research.’
Deep-Tech Backing for Human Advancement
Nudge is actively working to combine advanced hardware, physics modeling, and signal processing to deliver real-time brain feedback systems. The aim is to optimize brain function without surgery or drugs. Hence, the startup is working to build interfaces that interact directly with the brain.
The backing from Thrive and Greenoaks shows a growing trust in neurotechnology. With the $100 million investment, Nudge can speed up its research, enhance its platform, and get its devices out to more people.
Coinbase Expands Beyond Crypto
Meanwhile, Coinbase has also teamed up with PNC Bank. Their partnership plan is to make cryptocurrency more accessible for both retail and institutional clients. A recent press release shared that through Coinbase’s Crypto-as-a-Service platform, PNC users can securely buy, sell, or hold digital assets.
This partnership fits with the increasing support from U.S. regulators for digital finance. As a result, Coinbase and Nudge are leveraging cutting-edge technologies to pave the way for the future of finance and health tech.
