Today, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong outlined Coinbase's priorities for 2026: 1. Develop a full-category trading platform globally, covering crypto assets, stocks, prediction markets, and commodities, and supporting various trading formats like spot, futures, and options. This is the previously mentioned 'Everything Exchange' strategy. Check out my earlier breakdown for details: https://((x.com))/0xhiger/status/2001307501208440927 2. Expand the scale of stablecoin and payment businesses. The top priority is, of course, USDC, along with the dual-driving strategy of app payments and x402 micropayments. 3. Enable global users to go on-chain through the Coinbase Developer platform, Base chain, and Base App. Coinbase Developer is Coinbase's developer platform, with x402 undoubtedly being a key focus of this platform. Base chain and Base App primarily facilitate global users going on-chain via social interactions. I’ve analyzed this in detail in a previous post: https://((x.com))/0xhiger/status/2002552368085545132 From these three priorities, it’s clear what Coinbase is focusing on. Aside from the strategic layout, the two initiatives it’s driving directly are x402 and Zora.
