Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong proposes blockchain tokenization as a solution to enable approximately 4 billion adults worldwide to participate in capital markets traditionally inaccessible due to cost and infrastructure barriers. The company published a policy paper advocating for regulatory frameworks supporting neutral blockchain protocols to reduce transaction costs and enable fractional ownership of global assets. Coinbase is also expanding traditional stock trading services and aims to become a global 'everything exchange' blending crypto and conventional finance by 2026.
