How to protect yourself in the stock market crash of 2026

There were increasing signs of stock market collapse in 2026, and investors needed to take the necessary precautions in advance. The rise in inflation caused by the renewed rise in oil prices as a result of the US-Iraq conflict could lead to an increase in the Fed ' s interest rate, which could trigger a major stock market adjustment. In addition, experts warned that potential artificially intelligent bubbles could lead to a significant decline in wealth. Investors should consider diversifying their investment portfolios, avoiding the concentration of shares in a particular industry, and may consider holding risk-averse assets such as gold. Market cyclical fluctuations and the timely purchase of low-value assets can also benefit from market recovery. Maintaining calm and adequate market research are key to successful investment。

Coinbase CEO responded to "headprint" and Base community questions: personal X account does not represent an investment signal

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong responded to the recent controversy surrounding the replacement of his X account header and the “unsupported” of the Base community, thanking the community for its feedback and acknowledging the lack of clarity in communicating expectations previously, saying that households should not regard their individual X account content as an investment proposal or an individual token of currency. Brian Armstrong stated that his own release was simply a sharing of content of interest or interest on the Internet and that it might not even be known whether the content was related to a given currency or project, and that his tweets and header changes did not represent endorsement or commitment to any project. In the future, Coinbase will continue to give priority to supporting projects that create long-term user values, and hopes that this statement will help communities to build clearer expectations. At the same time, he added that he might still continue to publish what was considered interesting, but that would not constitute an investment proposal。
