Coinbase announced a lot of exciting stuff yesterday at their State of Crypto event in NYC!

Here's the 4 big things they announced that I'm really excited about:

1. Coinbase x Shopify: USDC payments + Commerce Payments Protocol 

2. Coinbase Base One Credit Card in partnership with American Express

3. Coinbase Business: all-in-one financial mgmt platform for small biz and entrepreneurs

4. DEX Trading within the main Coinbase app

1. USDC will be a default payment option on Shopify Payments.  No additional app or payment method to install, just USDC on Base natively within Shop Pay.  Bridge/Stripe actually facilitate the the merchant payments with Stripe Connect so it's really all 3 companies coming together.

Shopify will enable USDC (Stablecoins on @Base) in Checkout via Shopify Payments and Shop Pay. Early access starts today, roll out throughout the year.

We think that stablecoins are a natural way to transact on the Internet and worked with coinbase to develop the commerce https://t.co/o6jme8kSha

“Pay with crypto”

Millions of @Shopify stores are about to accept USDC on Base. Pay with USDC, get 1% back.

The onchain internet just got its checkout button. https://t.co/Poj7IJIcbo

2. Coinbase One Credit Card in partnership wit AmEx gives 4% bitcoin back on every purchase.  Coming later this year with a waitlist open now.  Notable that this is a true credit card and not a debit card/prepaid card like we've seen from Metamask, Moonwell, and others over the years.

It’s Amex.  I’m sure they’ve got it covered - particularly if there is a fee associated with the card.

Good question, it’s unclear but we’ll get more info closer to launch
