On February 13, Coinbase outlined three core investment priorities through 2026 in a shareholder letter: **Build the Crypto Economy**: Empower the crypto community to advance economic freedom. This includes launching an NFT marketplace, enabling peer-to-peer transactions, and expanding the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. **Enhance Blockchain Scalability**: Improve blockchain scalability by researching and deploying layer 2 solutions — such as sidechains and off-chain computations. This will boost transaction throughput and reduce network congestion. **Regulatory Compliance**: Collaborate with regulators to adhere to evolving cryptocurrency and blockchain rules. This includes rolling out robust KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) procedures across all products and services.
