Brian Armstrong has become inseparable from his visionary costume. No more time when he whispered the crypto in the ear of investors, here he preaches a financial revolution. The CEO of Coinbase announces a future where 10 % of the world's GDP will pass through blockchain by 2030. A prophecy which, according to him, will be realized thanks to a favorable regulatory wind in the United States. Contagious or sweet delirium enthusiasm? Immersed in the predictions of a boss who sees far.
Brian Armstrong and the Great Prophecy Crypto
Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, swapped his entrepreneurial suit for that of Prophet. According to him, The blockchain goes England 10 % of world GDP by 2030an estimate that exceeds $ 10,000 billion. A comparison haunts it: that of the 2000s, where companies had to adapt to the Internet or die.
Today, it is the turn of financial behemoths to embrace the crypto revolution or to end up at the Musée des species missing.
Armstrong, never stingy in shock formulas, insists: ” Onchain is the new online ». In other words, if your business is not on the blockchain, it is already has been.
For him, the growth of the crypto is based on An unstoppable triptych: massive adoption, solid infrastructure and clear regulation. Add to that an American congress that has become ” The most pro-Crypto in history And you get a cocktail ready to energize traditional finance.
Coinbase in full financial explosion
In this dystopico-Digital table, Coinbase plays spearheads. Crypto exchange finished 2024 on A brilliant note : an increase of 88 % of its income in a quarter, culminating in $ 2.3 billion.
And what about net profit? An astronomical leap of 1,600 % in three monthsreaching $ 1.3 billion. A performance that even made the Crypto Winter tests forget and the abyssal fall in the course of its action in 2023.
Investors, first taken aback, ended up acclaiming this evolution. Coinbase is no longer just an exchange platform, but a robust infrastructure that relies on several pillars:
- Diversified income, going far beyond the interests of stablecoins;
- An ability to capture the new uses of blockchain;
- A network of expanding users.
As Jeff Roberts pointed out on X, the real challenge is to withstand future Crypto Winters. And Coinbase seems well armed for that.
Towards a planetary crypto adoption?
If Armstrong's enthusiasm has no limit, it is based on a simple observation: Lthe United States is preparing to define the rules of the game. Already, the American Congress is activated on the regulation of stablecoins and the structure of the markets.
Even the Fed gets it: its governor Christopher Waller claimed a clear framework To allow banks to issue digital assets backed by the dollar.
If the Americans show the way, Armstrong ensures that The rest of the world will follow. Political pressure and economic competition oblige, the other nations could be forced to embrace Crypto adoption under penalty of staying at the quay.
For Armstrong, it is obvious: a new era opens. As he already said last November:
“” It's really the dawn of a new crypto era … ».
Revolution or simple publicity stunt? The future will decide.
Finally, Brian Armstrong believes that the United States will find the solution for the crypto, provided they offer clear and stable regulations. An ambition that Donald Trump had set himself during his campaign. It remains to be seen if the reality will follow the predictions of the prophet of the blockchain.
