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

Odaily Odaily reported that Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on the X platform to respond to user questions regarding Base's development direction. Brian Armstrong expressed agreement with users' criticism of Content Coins, stating that this direction "did not work," and that Base had adjusted and restructured its plans early this year. Addressing doubts about Base shifting focus to AI Agents, Brian Armstrong said he did not agree. He pointed out that Base has been focused on three core long-term directions: Trading, Payments, and AI Agents, and that these three areas are interconnected. For example, payments require trading infrastructure like foreign exchange, and AI Agents will also be heavily involved in trading and payment scenarios in the future.

He added that currently, the majority of Base's resources are still allocated to the trading direction. Although these investments have not yet fully manifested in the external market, related development is progressing.
