According to Cointelegraph, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong unveiled a 'financial upgrade' blueprint that includes tokenized assets, 24-hour global trading, stablecoin payments, and AI-powered compliance. The market analyzes that this vision aligns with Coinbase's recent business expansion strategy. Coinbase has recently been expanding its business areas to include perpetual futures, prediction markets, and stablecoin payment infrastructure. It is also collaborating with Shopify, Stripe, and Citigroup to build a USDC-based payment and settlement system. Armstrong particularly emphasized that real-world asset tokenization (RWA), open financial infrastructure, and AI-based risk management will be key to next-generation finance. Meanwhile, Bitcoin supporters criticized Armstrong for mentioning 'sound money' as the last item, arguing that BTC should be at the center of the new financial system.
