Coinbase releases update on its global expansion
Coinbase is doubling down its efforts to make the presence felt in a true sense. The aim is further the mission of enabling economic freedom to the community. A way in which Coinbase has chosen to move across the border is by working with regulators and establishing its operations as a legalized entity.
Customers are at the gaining end, for they can be assured that the services of Coinbase will be focused on their protection and trust. This framework, as is evident with the intentions of Coinbase, applies to all jurisdictions irrespective of the region they are located in.
Going global and deep with development is part of its 8-week international expansion drive. The community has held on to its card by believing that Coinbase will do its part thoroughly. It is time for the platform to follow through and share the updates.
Coinbase has done that through an official blog post, highlighting its achievements and progress made in all the major jurisdictions under the Go Broad & Go Deep Strategy.
Customers in Singapore are now finding it convenient to access the crypto-economy following the launch of Singpass. It is complemented with bank transfers to ensure that the retail experience of customers in Singapore is nothing but convenient and seamless.
The goal at the macro level for the crypto industry has been to onboard millions of users, including those who are yet to be educated about the field. A move by Coinbase definitely brings positives in every review of Coinbase. Strengthening its position in Singapore is the partnership with Standard Chartered Bank to provide a trading experience in digital assets.
Customers in Brazil, too, have access to an entire set of crypto experiences, empowering them to leverage economic freedom. Integration of Pix with Coinbase has worked wonders since it allows customers to top-up their accounts using Brazilian Reals. The application interface has been localized with 24/7 email support in partnership with EBANX.
