Coinbase as the tradeable spillover for Binance enforcement: direction is short, edge is closing
The Opportunity
The upstream call is SHORT with 50% conviction, expressed directly in COIN, on the logic that enforcement pressure around Binance can transmit into the listed crypto complex via compliance cost narratives, regulator scrutiny, and sentiment spillover. The reason this is INVESTIGATE is lifecycle, not direction: it is routed to propagation_monitor (spreading, edge decaying), which means the informational advantage is closing even if the thesis stays coherent.
The Timing
Macro regime is Mixed 58 with Headwind 17 for shorts, and the price tape is loud: COIN printed $183.94 (+13.5%), a move big enough that you have to assume positioning and broader crypto beta matter more than your specific enforcement read. What would convert this from INVESTIGATE to a cleaner trade is a fresh, issuer-specific enforcement artefact with new constraints, dates, or named parties that is not already circulating through Tier-1 coverage.
The Evidence
The packet does not include hydrated URLs for this ED-signal. The upstream evidence set for this cluster includes Tier-1 and official domains (for example reuters.com , sec.gov ), which is exactly why the edge is marked decaying.
