Coinbase Looking Outside of the U.S. for Expansion 🌎
Coinbase officially rolled out its zero-fee subscription service, Coinbase One, past beta this week. The launch includes the United Kingdom, Germany, and Ireland, as Coinbase aims to extend its international reach.
Service Benefits w/ Global Ambitions
Coinbase One runs you $29.99/month
The premium script offers users the advantage of no trading fees and enhanced staking rewards
The service will be introduced in 35 countries
Coinbase's ambition to tap into new markets signals a shift toward a broader international presence
US Regulatory Concerns and Potential Consequences
CEO Brian Armstrong's recent remarks about the US regulatory environment have raised speculations about Coinbase's future in its home market.
Armstrong suggested that Coinbase would consider exploring opportunities outside the US if regulatory clarity remains elusive.
As Coinbase One expands globally, questions emerge regarding the company's dedication to its stronghold in the US.
Is this a turning point for Coinbase in the US?
Every major corporation eventually leaves its home country to grow. But the expansion into multiple countries, coupled with CEO Armstrong's statements, signifies a potential shift for Coinbase in the US market, especially with the EU making strides in regulation.
TLDR; Coinbase is slowly backing out of the US like a Homer Simpson hedge meme.

Really Unlikable Things🙅♀️
Early yesterday morning, an apparently AI-generated hoax of an explosion at the Pentagon went viral online. What happened after was the scary part.
“Verified” twitter accounts began sharing the image, causing many to think the explosion was real. It was even shared on a major Indian news network.
Worst of all, the building in the picture doesn’t even closely resemble the Pentagon. Yikes.
The US stock market took a noticeable dip (Insider). The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell about 80 points between 10:06 a.m. and 10:10 a.m., fully recovering by 10:13 a.m.
This happened by accident and was somewhat quickly outed as fake.
But with AI advancing to the point that this is remotely possible, how long will it be until a more coordinated and well-constructed fake story is used to attack the market? Scary hours.
Journalists - do your due diligence before publishing a story plz.
??Do we need to put limits on AI |
Just for Fun 🤡
