Coinbase has created a new tool to encourage institutional investors to participate with NFTs and DeFi. The exchange has created an institutional-grade Web3 Wallet with advanced-level security and utility provisions through its Coinbase Prime subsidiary. Coinbase’s desire to attract large investors to the digital assets industry comes at a time when the global Web3 market is expected to generate $3.25 billion (approximately Rs.26,955 crore) by the end of 2023.
Clients will be able to store tokens and have rapid access to funds held in self-custody via the Coinbase Prime Web3 Wallet. It will also make it easier for users to communicate with decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts.
“Institutional clients have been looking for consistent access but have had difficulty finding it in the current environment.” Until today, many of our institutional clients had to rely on a patchwork of disparate solutions to access web3. Clients can effortlessly access Web3 with our Web3 Wallet,” the exchange stated in an official article.
Coinbase will launch its Prime service in May 2021 to meet the advanced trading and asset custody demands of institutional investors.
Users will be able to access any dApp as well as tokens from compatible networks with this new Web3 wallet.
“Because our Web3 Wallet is integrated with Coinbase Prime, it benefits from the same flexible team member permissions for enhanced security.” By assigning each team member a user role with a restricted range of configurable rights, customers can select the appropriate level of access for each team member.
“Prime Web3 Wallet also uses the same entity and portfolio hierarchy, allowing for additional customization based on how an institution is organized,” the exchange stated in its article.
To assist businesses in staying ahead of security issues, the wallet will feature approval alerts, transaction previews, risk warnings, and the ability to ban questionable dApps. The exchange claims that its version of the multi-party computation (MPC)’ system will never reveal the private keys of its customers. It also intends to offer its clients a specific self-custody backup, which might be useful for the secure recovery of their keys.
This news comes at a difficult moment for Coinbase’s operations in India, which topped Chainalysis’ Global Crypto Adoption Index 2023.
After some of its users in India received notifications that their accounts would be terminated in the coming days, suspicions circulated that Coinbase would cease operations in the country entirely. While the business stated that it remains dedicated to its Indian users, Coinbase has temporarily halted new registrations from India.
