Armstrong stated that tokenized shares and stablecoins, whose value is typically pegged to fiat currencies, are two prominent areas in this transformation.
Tokenization is defined as a technology that enables the representation of ownership or economic rights to traditional financial assets through digital tokens on a blockchain.
This approach enables financial assets to be traded on blockchain-based platforms and integrated with various digital finance applications.
Armstrong said he expects more assets to be included in the blockchain-based financial ecosystem in the coming period.
Coinbase also emphasized that it will continue its efforts to develop innovative solutions within the traditional financial system and to expand the use of blockchain technologies.
The company’s approach focuses on strengthening the connection between blockchain infrastructure and traditional financial assets, going beyond cryptocurrency services.
However, Armstrong did not share a specific market size, growth rate, or timeline in his statement regarding the growth of the tokenized asset market.
The Coinbase CEO’s remarks reflect his expectation that tokenized financial products and stablecoins could achieve wider use cases in blockchain-based financial systems in the future.
