Coinbase’s Base Goes Global: Meet the New Team and Big Dreams 💸🌍

Ah, the eternal quest for world domination— this time dressed up as blockchain expansion. Coinbase’s Base has recently appointed an array of fresh-faced country leads, stretching from the noble reaches of Argentina to the bustling streets of South Korea, and even daring West Africa to join the party. All under the watchful eye of Xen Baynham-Herd, who, I dare say, must have a map and a compass in hand. Each of these intrepid individuals will be busy building regional user communities, supporting developer ecosystems, and, no doubt, dreaming of crypto ubiquity in their local markets.

Strategic Hiring Targets Global Onchain Growth — Or How to Babysit the World

Coinbase’s new regional rulers are expected to act as the local diplomats of the blockchain realm, bridging the gap between Base’s ambitions and the hopes of local crypto enthusiasts. The team openly admits to a teetering ambition for expansion, still hunting for talent in Germany, Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey, the UAE, and—my personal favorite—the U.S. of A., because why not? This hefty push isn’t unique, of course; after all, the crypto industry is increasingly fond of decentralization—of the hype, that is, not the actual process.

The 2025 Vision: $100B in Onchain Assets & 25 Million Users—Just the Beginning of Our Digital Empire

Base’s master plan, unveiled as an audacious 2025 roadmap, includes:

  • Aiming to hoard $100 billion in onchain assets, because that’s just a small amount, really
  • Trying to onboard a modest 25 million eager global users, some of whom will surely be forever confused
  • Enlisting 25,000 developers—probably all dreaming of Ethereum fortunes

To make this oh-so-ambitious dream come true, Base has rolled out a plethora of incentives and grants—like birthday presents for crypto enthusiasts—that aim to foster innovation across DeFi, gaming, NFTs, and apps that young people will pretend to understand.

Why Does It Matter, Anyway?

This relentless expansion scheme exemplifies Coinbase’s unwavering faith in Ethereum Layer 2 solutions and Base’s grand aspirations to become a household name among blockchain platforms. With new local teams gritting their teeth and forging ahead, Base is positioning itself as the next big thing—ready to conquer emerging markets and perhaps, one day, your neighborhood coffee shop’s crypto payment option.
