**Brian Armstrong** is the Founder and CEO of Coinbase. As a pillar of innovation and adoption in crypto, Brian is playing a pivotal role in determining the kind of future we’ll see in the space.

The Crypto movement is a battle for hearts and minds, and Coinbase is fighting on the front lines.

Building bridges between the legacy world and the Metaverse is a daunting task, but Brian has been a headstrong leader with a clear vision. Coinbase finds itself in a position to maximize a user’s choice for what they do with their assets.

With new features on the way like their NFT platform, Coinbase is steadily opening the doors for composability, decentralization, and ultimately… sovereignty.
