Making crypto trading more mainstream

He added the exchange’s goal was to widen its offerings to help make cryptocurrency trading become a more mainstream activity.

Rav Singh Sandhu, editor of the Market Mogul, said: “Coinbase’s strategy is underpinned by the ambition to stay compliant and build close relationships with banks and governments.”

The only way to do this, Srinivasan said, was to forge good relationships throughout the industry, which would require great adoption and “noticeable growth”.

He added that the platform would need some technical work to operate more algorithmically to allow easier duplication of processes that would ultimately provide the platform for adding more digital currencies.
