Coinbase’s interest in decentralized finance has been known for a long time. However, for the first time, a clear statement came from the company’s CFO.
Alesia Haas spoke at a fintech-focused event hosted by Citi. Haas gave an idea of the overall strategy of the stock market and divided it into three parts. He said that around the Coinbase platform is a platform where its users can access a range of applications and uses.
“The third pillar for us is crypto as an application platform. We serve the broader crypto ecosystem here
We plan to eventually serve third-party applications within our core product.”
According to Haas, Coinbase aims to be a bridge to DeFi.
Such an approach isn’t a surprise given the company’s support for DeFi tokens and its involvement in groups like the DeFi Alliance.
