Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong identified eight finance priorities on May 24, placing tokenization, global trading, stablecoins, artificial intelligence, regulation, access, capital formation, and sound money at the center of his agenda. He shared the list on X and framed the items as unfinished work for financial technology. Armstrong wrote:

“Major areas where the financial system still needs an update.”

Armstrong’s first area was the tokenization of real-world assets ( RWAs), including real estate, stocks, bonds, and funds. He said putting those assets on-chain could support instant settlement, fractional ownership, and wider distribution. The second area was 24/7 global trading, with pooled global liquidity, broader asset access, leverage, and capital efficiency. Together, those points described a financial market structure built for faster settlement and wider participation.

Stablecoins formed the third area. Armstrong cited near-instant, low-cost global transfers, including payments made by autonomous AI agents. The fourth area was AI-powered risk, credit, compliance, and advice. He tied that category to better decisions, less fraud, broader capital access, and wider access to financial guidance.

Innovation-friendly regulation marked the fifth area. Armstrong called for a shift from one-size-fits-all rules toward risk-based oversight that supports innovation, competition, and new financial products. The sixth area focused on expanded access through open protocols and self-custodial wallets. He said those tools could reduce middlemen and make financial services available to anyone with a smartphone.

Armstrong listed capital formation as the seventh priority, describing lower-cost, turnkey fundraising for people with strong ideas. He added an eighth priority: sound money, which he described as “A refuge from inflation, when discipline is lost in fiat money.” The Coinbase executive’s May 24 post concluded:

“Jobs not done until we get these working for all. Will require lots of tech innovation and policy work to get there.”

Tokenization and stablecoins remain active policy and market themes. The tokenized real-world asset market crossed $37.5 billion in May 2026, while Coinbase Asset Management launched a tokenized stablecoin credit strategy for qualified investors in April 2026.
