Armstrong Highlights Crypto’s Financial Access
On Sunday, in a post on X, Armstrong said "Crypto doesn’t get enough credit for the financial access it’s already unlocked for the world," highlighting stablecoins, decentralized finance, tokenized stocks and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).
"Stablecoins brought the dollar onchain," he said, arguing that "anyone, anywhere" can own a low-inflation currency and send it "24/7 for a fraction of a cent."
He also said decentralized finance, or DeFi, "gives anyone access to credit," potentially allowing people without traditional banking relationships to participate in financial services.
Armstrong further pointed to tokenized stocks, saying they could allow "4B unbrokered people" to gain exposure to the U.S. stock market.
On Bitcoin, Coinbase CEO said the cryptocurrency provides "a store of wealth that can’t be inflated away," referring to its fixed supply.
"There’s more to do of course, but don’t forget about how far we’ve come," Armstrong said.
Crypto Adoption Expands Beyond Bitcoin
The crypto industry had increasingly shifted toward stablecoins, payment infrastructure and institutional adoption rather than Bitcoin as a purely speculative asset.
