Coinbase Prioritizes Grip on North American Crypto Market
The entry follows the launch of Coinbase One, a subscription-based platform for crypto services. The platform will offer free trials for Canadians subscribing to Coinbase One.
The announcement by Coinbase to enter Canada portrays efforts to navigate the mass exit trend by firms from the crypto market. In particular, it portrays efforts by the second largest crypto exchange firm to expand its reputable stronghold on the North American digital assets market.
Coinbase, led by Brian Armstrong, offers a thirty-day trial to the Canadian nationals of the recently unveiled subscription service.
The platform will offer staking-specific staking services. Besides, the users will benefit through zero trading fees and prioritized customer support.
The statement conveyed on Monday, August 14, revealed the entry into Canada, citing the unique crypto awareness driven by the robust regulatory framework.
