Growing demand for greater flexibility in digital asset payments is prompting major exchanges to revisit transaction limits. Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) chief executive officer Brian Armstrong shared on social media platform X on Oct. 11 that the company plans to test higher customer spending thresholds next week. The initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance the platform’s usability for everyday payments and expand options for trusted users over the coming year.

Armstrong stated:

We’ll be testing $5K limits for all customers starting Oct 14th (in a few days). And have a plan to deploy tiered transaction limits for low risk users up to $10K (maybe even $100K) by mid next year.

His announcement followed an Oct. 7 post on X in which he said: “We welcome the feedback from all. Will check on this $2,500 debit card limit.” The remarks suggest that Coinbase is directly responding to customer feedback and exploring new transaction frameworks designed to accommodate users with varying risk profiles.

The shift toward tiered spending levels represents a meaningful change from Coinbase’s previous uniform limits, signaling a potential move to make crypto transactions more accessible for high-volume and mainstream users alike.

Analysts interpret the plan as an attempt to align Coinbase’s services more closely with traditional financial platforms while retaining crypto’s core flexibility. Advocates say the changes could accelerate crypto adoption in daily commerce, though others caution that broader transaction caps may require enhanced risk management and stricter compliance oversight.
