Coinbase has revealed its three priorities for this year: developing a full-fledged trading platform, expanding stablecoin payments, and bringing the world's largest blockchain to life.

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.
