Coinbase Taps Sensible Founders: Will it Power On-Chain Growth?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Coinbase adds Sensible founders to drive growth in its on-chain consumer roadmap.
COIN invests in Base, a Layer 2 platform to scale Ethereum and support developers.
COIN shares are up 28.6% YTD, though EPS estimates for 2025 and 2026 signal a decline.
Coinbase Global (COIN - Free Report) and the founders of Sensible have joined forces to boost COIN’s on-chain consumer roadmap. The crypto leader believes the future of finance is on-chain and the team will fortify its on-chain consumer strategy by building on DeFi-powered consumer applications. This recent move by Coinbase marks another step toward establishing the company as the industry’s premier “everything exchange.”
Coinbase provides a trusted platform that serves as a compliant gateway to the on-chain economy and enables customers to engage in a wide variety of activities, including discovering, trading, staking, storing, spending, earning and using their crypto assets in both proprietary and third-party product experiences, facilitated by access to decentralized applications.
In an effort to enhance the crypto utility, Coinbase invests in infrastructure and foundational platforms like Base. Base is the low-cost Layer 2 solution that helps blockchains scale. Base, launched in the third quarter of 2023, plays a crucial role as a secure, open and efficient platform for developers to build apps on-chain. It is designed to optimize the infrastructure of the crypto asset, Ethereum, by boosting the network’s speed and affordability, thereby empowering developers to build an on-chain economy.
Coinbase intends to bring one billion people on-chain, which requires a smooth user experience where interacting with crypto is spontaneous and hassle-free. Thus, the addition of the founders of Sensible is an opportune move for the company.
