Coinbase’s Bigger Bet on the Base App
-

This move fits squarely into Coinbase’s long-term strategy.
Base App sits at the center of Coinbase’s ambition to become a true crypto “Everything App” — spanning spot and derivatives trading, stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization, and prediction markets.
By stripping away low-impact features, Coinbase is sharpening Base App into a self-custody, trading-first experience. Notably, the sunset does not affect Creator Coins, which remain part of the ecosystem via Zora.
The message is subtle but clear:
Social experiments can come and go.
Trading is the core. -
wonder how this plays with prediction markets and tokenized assets long term, still a lot of moving parts
