PANews reported on February 13th that Coinbase stated in its letter to shareholders that it will focus its investments on three key priorities in 2026:

• Develop a comprehensive trading platform: Expand Coinbase into the only trusted platform for customers to trade all types of assets (cryptocurrencies, derivatives, stocks, and prediction markets), helping customers manage more portfolios and increase engagement.
• Expanding Stablecoins and Payments: Accelerating the usability of USDC and the payment technology stack (APIs, wallets, and merchant channels) to make value transfer faster, cheaper, and easier, and seizing the next wave of opportunities. A wave of real-world applications beyond trading.
• Bringing the world on-chain: By expanding DeFi integration within the Coinbase app and focusing more on transactions, the Base app is being extended to make the on-chain experience simpler and more accessible. Coinbase's infrastructure continues to drive activity on the Base platform, so increased usage also depends on Coinbase's infrastructure.
