Views of Enthusiasts
While creators are pleased with the addition of yet another marketplace. Critics, on the contrary, are reproaching the move. By complaining it to be another source of revenue for the platform. Netizens want Coinbase to settle with lower charges, before its foray into foreign platforms. As the company is currently reliant heavily on exchange fees, unlike its counterparts.
Some sources also suggest Coinbase charging a premium during a crash. Possibly due, to an increase in transactions during a crash. Talks also making rounds of Coinbase venturing into a new platform after its ban from opening a lending platform.
Collectively, users are seeking lower charges, which are incurred from the platform. Hopefully, the fees is lowered with the introduction of the NFT marketplace. As it would be encouraging for more creators to join the pack. Users are expecting Coinbase to go decentralized, like its competitor Binance. If materialized, it will be a boon for the institution. However, the level of its decentralization is also to be considered.
