Crypto World News reports that Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said in a post on X that the financial system still needs updates in areas including real-world asset tokenization, 7×24-hour global trading, next-generation payments, AI-driven risk and credit, compliance and consulting, innovation-friendly regulation, expanding access, capital formation, and more. He mentioned that this includes putting assets such as real estate, stocks, bonds, and funds on-chain to enable instant settlement, fractionalized ownership, and large-scale distribution; achieving near-instant, low-cost global transfers via stablecoins; reducing intermediaries through open protocols; and expanding financial access for smartphone users through self-custody wallets. Before these capabilities can run for everyone, the related work is not yet complete, and it requires substantial technological innovation and policy work.
