Coinbase Broadens Reach With New Token Platform and UK Expansion
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Coinbase unveiled an end-to-end token sales platform for issuers and retail investors.
The company launched a 3.75% AER UK savings account through a ClearBank partnership.
Coinbase canceled its BVNK acquisition but stays focused on global USDC adoption.
Recently, Coinbase Global (COIN - Free Report) pursued a few strategic moves like launching a digital token sales platform, introducing a regulated UK savings account, and calling off its planned BVNK acquisition. These moves mark prudent approaches toward growth as well as diversification.
COIN has launched an end-to-end token sales platform for both issuers and users. It allows investors to participate in new token launches before listing. Coinbase is also providing access for the retail community. The first token sale will be hosted on Nov. 17, with one token sale per month. While this opens another revenue stream by enhancing trading volume, it also underscores COIN’s continued effort to introduce digital assets.
In its continued efforts to bring crypto and traditional banking closer, that too in the global arena, COIN is introducing a new savings account that offers 3.75% AER variable interest in the United Kingdom. COIN has partnered with ClearBank for the same. COIN has been continuously collaborating with banks to bridge the gap between crypto and traditional banking. Partnerships with PNC Bank and Citi reflect the same. This also marks COIN’s move for international expansion.
In a separate development, COIN called off the BVNK acquisition. Had it materialized, it could have been the largest stablecoin-related deal. Coinbase has an ambitious target of making USDC the number one stablecoin over the next few years, something its CEO has called its “Stretch Goal.” Nonetheless, COIN stays focused on global adoption of USDC and thus makes strategic partnerships and collaborations.
Such strategic endeavors underscore the company’s efforts to build Coinbase as the industry’s premier “everything exchange.”
