According to CoinMeta, Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, stated: "Cryptocurrencies have not received enough recognition in unlocking financial access for the globe." He pointed out that stablecoins have brought the US dollar onto the blockchain, decentralized finance (DeFi) has provided access to credit, tokenized stocks have expanded access to the American market, and Bitcoin offers a means of wealth storage against inflation; these are all key use cases that drive the adoption of cryptocurrencies. He added, "Of course, there is still more work to be done, but don't forget how far we have come already."
