Armstrong Contradicts Coinbase Legal Chief
In a recent statement, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong appeared to diverge from an earlier position expressed by Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal. Grewal had previously stated in September that “a token could be viable at some point in the future,” and that they haven’t ruled out the possibility. However, Armstrong clarified that Coinbase currently has “no plans” to issue a token for the Base network.
Armstrong expressed satisfaction with the progress of Base since its launch in August, highlighting its rise to become the third-largest layer-2 platform in terms of total value locked (TVL), boasting around $500 million in TVL. He emphasized the ongoing efforts to integrate Base with various applications and noted the enthusiasm of developers in engaging with the layer-2 solution.
Uplifting the Infrastructure
Armstrong revealed that Base, along with other layer-2 solutions, is integral to an “ambitious” internal stretch goal aimed at achieving an average transaction on Coinbase in “under one second and one cent.” He acknowledged that achieving this target will necessitate enhancements to Base.
Additionally, Armstrong emphasized the strategic shift towards making layer-2 the default option on the Coinbase platform, as opposed to being an occasional choice for users who bridge to layer-2 for specific transactions.
Speaking to crypto publication Decrypt, Armstrong added: “That’s not just with Base. That’s things like integrating the Lightning Network on Bitcoin, it’s integrating other layer-1s that are very fast, like Solana.”
