Major Announcements from the Summit
Several groundbreaking announcements were made, including the Coinbase One Card, which offers up to 4% Bitcoin cashback on all purchases and is exclusively available to U.S. members of the Coinbase One subscription service at $29.99/month. A new, lower-tier subscription is now also available for $4.99/month.

DEX Integration
Another pivotal point was the plan to integrate decentralized exchanges (DEXs) into Coinbase’s main application. This integration aims to streamline on-chain asset trading for users. Paul Grewal emphasized that previously, navigating DEXs was a challenge for many users. Coinbase plans to kick off with the Base network, with future expansion to networks such as Solana and Ethereum.
What Lies Ahead?
The summit suggested that 81% of crypto-savvy small and medium businesses (SMBs) are now inclined to utilize stablecoins. This interest has tripled among Fortune 500 companies since last year, paired with an astounding 54% year-over-year growth in stablecoin supply.
