The wallet will allow users to trade over 2 million tokens across eight different chains including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, BSC, Polygon, Avalanche, and Solana from any wallet.

“Our mission collectively is to bring more and more users onchain, and that’s why we created Coinbase wallet … onboarding users in five seconds flat,” said Turakhia.

In an interview with Cryptonews, Turakhia said one trend people should pay attention to is around stablecoins as payments.
