[Coinbase CEO: Coinbase Pro Coming Soon, AI Financial Accounts and US Stock Perpetual Contracts Under Development] BlockBeats reported on November 13th that Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that Coinbase stores over 99% of its custodied crypto assets in cold wallets and uses the latest AI models to strengthen defenses, sometimes even gaining advance access to the models. He stated that Coinbase's security design takes into account the possibility of employees being scammed, ensuring that no single person, computer, or system can independently transfer user funds. He also mentioned that seven of the world's largest banks have chosen to partner with Coinbase, which holds over 80 licenses globally. AI-powered financial agents are a key focus for Coinbase. Armstrong cited predictions that by 2030, the transaction volume processed by AI agents could reach $3 trillion to $5 trillion. He believes that crypto networks are suitable as the infrastructure for agents to execute transactions, and developing financial accounts for AI agents is one of Coinbase's priorities. Regarding stock tokenization, Armstrong stated that tokenized stocks traded on Coinbase have exceeded $5 billion in volume. He believes that tokenized stocks are more accessible than traditional stocks and can be integrated with DeFi protocols, for example, allowing holders to earn returns on their stock assets. Regarding US stock perpetual contracts, Armstrong stated that Coinbase has been pushing for the compliant implementation of such products in the US for years and welcomes the cooperation between SEC and CFTC officials on this matter. He pointed out that stock perpetual contracts are already traded in markets outside the US. He also teased the upcoming launch of Coinbase Pro, but did not provide a specific date in the post.
