On Dec 17, Coinbase held a big presentation. For many Base maxis, there were no real surprises since most announcements were leaked beforehand. Prediction markets, tokenization (including stocks), futures, business payments that aim to erase traditional banking bureaucracy, and an all-in-one multi-app. Entering crypto for normies becomes even easier. Nothing shocking, but logical and generally approved. One new thing was Coinbase Adviser, an AI assistant for managing assets.

Questionable, but fine. There was a lot of content overall, plenty to unpack. Personally, I would rate the presentation higher if they had said at least something concrete about the token. There has been too much warming-up noise lately. Three months of “beginning to explore a network token” feels like enough time to provide some clarity. But as they say, "your expectations are your own problem". Long term, the updates look positive, especially for the global economy. The US is clearly betting on the Coinbase ecosystem as a main playground. The key takeaway from Dec 17 is the public launch of the Base app
