Brian Armstrong: Base Adjusted Its Development Strategy Early This Year, Focusing on Trading, Payments, and AI Agents

Odaily Odaily News: Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on X platform in response to user questions about Base's development direction. Brian Armstrong stated that he agrees with user criticism regarding Content Coins, calling that direction "not working out," and noted that Base made adjustments and re-planned its direction early this year. In response to skepticism about Base shifting towards AI Agents, Brian Armstrong expressed disagreement. He pointed out that Base has long focused on three core directions: trading, payments, and AI Agents, and all three are interconnected. For example, payments require trading infrastructure such as foreign exchange, while AI Agents will also heavily engage in trading and payment scenarios in the future.

He added that currently, most of Base's resources are still invested in the trading direction. Although these investments have not yet fully materialized in the external market, relevant construction is progressing.
