Coinbase has launched its ambitious ‘Base App,’ a revamped mobile wallet integrating trading, payments, social media, and AI agents. This marks a bold shift from a traditional exchange to a crypto-native super-app, aiming to rival platforms like WeChat.
- Base App integrates trading, social media (Farcaster), NFC payments, and AI agents (Based Agent) into a single crypto-native super-app.
- Coinbase targets merchants with sub-1% fee USDC payments via Shopify and its Payments API, undercutting traditional card networks.
- Regulatory hurdles, platform policies (Apple/Google), and user adoption remain key risks for Coinbase's super-app ambitions.
