Coinbase Global Inc.
(NASDAQ:COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong says crypto is entering a new phase where Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) serves as digital gold while stablecoins, tokenized assets and AI-powered commerce become the primary drivers of blockchain adoption.
Bitcoin's Role Has Changed Speaking on entrepreneur Nikhil Kamath's podcast on July 16, Armstrong argued that the industry's biggest opportunity is no longer speculative trading but rebuilding the global financial system on blockchain rails.
Armstrong acknowledged that Bitcoin's original vision as peer-to-peer electronic cash has largely evolved.
"I think it's fair to say at this point that Bitcoin has succeeded as a store of value," Armstrong said.
