Bringing the Future of Finance to Brazil
We see this as part of a much bigger shift. Stablecoins are increasingly becoming a core part of the global financial system. We see a future where stablecoins are central to the way that businesses, institutions and consumers move money across borders, platforms and markets. The scale is growing substantially.
In 2025 alone, stablecoins settled more than $30 trillion in transactions globally.
Coinbase now processes nearly $1 trillion of stablecoin settlements annually.
And Base, the layer 2 blockchain incubated at Coinbase, processed more than $17 trillion in USDC volume in 2025.
For traders, that means faster settlement, and simpler access to dollar-denominated liquidity is fundamental to their fully leveraging the future of finance. This launch is another step in Coinbase’s broader mission to increase economic freedom around the world. And in Brazil, it is a practical example of how better rails, better access, and better user experience can bring the benefits of crypto and stablecoins to more people.
