PANews reported on March 31 that Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 network, Base, released its 2026 strategy, focusing on expanding its on-chain tokenized asset market, stablecoin payment scenarios, and developer ecosystem. Base plans to support tokenized trading of assets such as stocks and commodities, and optimize settlement efficiency and costs based on existing perpetual contracts and prediction markets. In terms of payments, it will introduce privacy features, stablecoin pricing fees, multi-currency stablecoin liquidity, and financial functions such as savings and lending around stablecoins. On the developer side, it will continue to invest in projects such as Base Batches, introducing new tools and incentive mechanisms to support AI interaction with on-chain markets. Simultaneously, Base is shifting from Optimism's OP Stack to self-developed infrastructure to enhance its independence and scalability.
