Deep Tide TechFlow News, January 16 — According to Fortune, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase will compete with traditional financial institutions such as Charles Schwab, Fidelity, and Robinhood. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that the company is implementing an “all-in-one exchange” strategy, which will support diversified asset trading including stocks and prediction markets in the future.
