My two cents:
Imagine a future where millions of users cast, trade, bridge, and save all through @base and the @coinbasewallet .
One interface. One feeling. One trust layer.
And then?
Quietly, without scandal or collapse, the other CEXs begin to fade.
Binance. Bybit. OKX. Still standing but no one’s knocking.
Why?
Because convenience wins!
Because people don’t love markets they love places that feel like home.
If Coinbase pulls it off, if wallet, identity, social, and DeFi melt into one fluid experience the wallet stops being a tool.
It becomes the default place where crypto happens.
No more jumping between CEXs - they’re already wired in.
No more gas anxiety - it’s abstracted.
No more protocol choice - just outcome.
Maybe it’s a new layer.
Maybe the monolith brings in the masses and then slowly pushes power back to the edge.
CEXs might die, but custody won’t.
Markets won’t.
Trust just evolves.
Coinbase (wallet) as the super-hub isn’t the death of Web3 - it’s Web3 with guardrails. 0 reply
