According to ChainCatcher, citing Fortune, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated in an interview that Coinbase is working to transform from a cryptocurrency trading platform into an all-in-one exchange and plans to open stock trading services to all customers in the coming weeks. Currently, this service is only available to a limited number of users.
Brian Armstrong points out that while stock trading is currently offered in a traditional way, the ultimate goal is to achieve tokenized equity, that is, to natively issue stocks on the blockchain. He predicts this transformation will begin within the next two years, at which point all companies will recognize blockchain as a superior technology for managing shares. Armstrong also expressed his hope that Coinbase will become the first company to pay shareholder dividends in Bitcoin.
