Coinbase Introduces Innovative Platform: Coinbase Business
Coinbase, a leading cryptocurrency exchange based in the United States, is set to launch an advanced financial platform, Coinbase Business, later this year. This new platform is designed to facilitate the integration of cryptocurrency and stablecoin payments into the everyday operations of businesses, providing a seamless experience for users.
Empowering Small-to-Medium Enterprises and Startups
Coinbase Business aims to empower small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups by enabling them to send and receive stablecoins, such as the USD Coin (USDC) issued by Circle. The platform offers a comprehensive solution for managing digital assets and automating financial workflows through a unified interface. With competitive transaction fees, no chargeback risks, and integrated APIs, businesses can streamline their financial processes efficiently.

One of the standout features of Coinbase Business is its ability to help companies earn up to 4.1% annual percentage yield (APY) on USDC funds that are not actively being used, allowing them to grow their capital while maintaining liquidity. This innovative platform functions as a ‘crypto operating account,’ offering multi-user access and seamless integration with accounting tools like QuickBooks and Xero through CoinTracker and Crypto Tax Calculator.
Integration with E-commerce Platforms
Looking ahead, Coinbase plans to extend its reach by integrating with various e-commerce platforms. In its initial rollout phase, the payment suite will be connected with Shopify, enabling merchants and retailers to easily adopt USDC payments. This integration represents a significant step toward embedding cryptocurrency into the global commerce ecosystem.
The Future Vision of Crypto Adoption
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong envisions a future where the adoption of cryptocurrency becomes ubiquitous yet seamless. In a recent tweet, he emphasized that in the next decade, a larger number of people will utilize cryptocurrencies without being explicitly aware of it. Armstrong believes that the true value of technology lies in its ability to deliver benefits without requiring users to understand the underlying systems.
In 10 years, many more people will use crypto, but they may not know they’re using crypto. They only need to feel the benefits, not understand the systems behind it. The best tech is often invisible. — Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong) October 16, 2025
Overview of the Global Stablecoin Landscape
The global stablecoin market has witnessed remarkable growth, reaching a market capitalization of $316 billion as of October 17. Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC remain dominant players, with $181.54 billion and $75.68 billion in circulation, respectively. In the first half of 2025, on-chain stablecoin transaction volume exceeded an impressive $8.9 trillion, according to a CoinGate report.
During this period, USDT accounted for 24.8% of cryptocurrency transactions, while Bitcoin (BTC) was preferred by 23.3% of users, and USDC held a 9.3% share. Furthermore, data from a Fireblocks report highlights the increasing adoption of stablecoin payments, with 49% of users actively utilizing them, 23% currently engaged in pilot testing, and 18% planning to adopt them. Only 10% of respondents remain undecided about their future adoption plans.
As the stablecoin landscape continues to evolve, platforms like Coinbase Business are poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of digital finance, making cryptocurrency more accessible and integrated into everyday business operations.
