March 4th — Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong told David Senra on his podcast that the SocialFi feature the Base App launched last year “didn’t really pan out.” Armstrong noted the feature was always an experiment, but its real-world performance fell short of expectations. As a result, Coinbase has shifted its product focus: the Base App will now double down on trading functionality and the self-custody wallet experience, positioning it more like a “self-custody version of the Coinbase app.” In July 2025, Coinbase will rebrand its non-custodial Coinbase Wallet as the Base App, framing it as an on-chain “super app” integrating social tools, messaging, gaming, and trading.
