Coinbase USDC Bootstrap Fund
Coinbase is showing strong support for the growing DeFi ecosystem with a dedicated USDC fund, which supplied 1,000,000 USDC to the Compound protocol.
Robert Leshner says that the USDC Bootstrap Fund can be seen as “the starting point for the legitimization of open finance” and states:
“Coinbase is a financial institution and the fact that it’s engaging with open financial applications is going to be seen as a rallying cry for other institutions to do the same.”
