Coinbase CEO: The financial system still needs updates in areas such as real-world asset tokenization and global trading

Odaily reported that Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on X platform, stating that the financial system still requires updates in areas including real-world asset tokenization, 24/7 global trading, next-generation payments, AI-driven risk, credit, compliance, and advisory services, innovation-friendly regulation, expanded access, and capital formation. These include bringing assets such as real estate, stocks, bonds, and funds onto the blockchain to achieve instant settlement, fractional ownership, and mass distribution; enabling near-instant, low-cost global transfers through stablecoins; reducing intermediaries via open protocols, and expanding financial access for smartphone users through self-custody wallets. Until these capabilities are available to everyone, the work remains unfinished and requires significant technological innovation and policy efforts.
