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

Odaily Planet Daily News: Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on platform X to respond to user questions about the development direction of Base. Brian Armstrong stated that he agrees with user criticism regarding Content Coins, saying that direction "didn't work," and that Base had already made adjustments and re-planned its direction early this year. Regarding skepticism about Base shifting its focus to AI Agents, Brian Armstrong said he does not agree. He pointed out that Base has long focused on three core directions: trading, payments, and AI Agents, and these three are interconnected. For example, payments require trading infrastructure like foreign exchange, and AI Agents will also heavily participate 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 been fully reflected in the external market, related development is progressing.
