Jesse Pollak, head of Base and Coinbase Wallet, explained that the team is “in the exploration phase” of the potential to bring Coinbase’s staking to Base, the Ethereum layer 2 network that Coinbase incubates.
While there are no concrete plans at the moment, Pollak’s comments hint that the platform has ambitions to expand its offerings to US citizens in 2025.
“We are in the exploratory phase and working to understand what needs to be unlocked from a regulatory perspective to bring assets like COIN to Base in a secure, compliant, and future-proof way,” Pollak wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). He acknowledged that integrating COIN into the network “will be a huge undertaking.”
For now, COIN is accessible to non-US residents through platforms like Backed, a tokenization project for real-world assets (RWA). However, Pollak noted that clearer regulations are needed before such offerings can be widely used. “We need regulatory clarity and improvements that embrace on-chain transactions as an open platform to make this available to everyone,” Pollak added.
