Y Combinator, Base, Coinbase Ventures Launch Fintech 3.0 Initiative
Y Combinator, in collaboration with Base and Coinbase Ventures, is fostering the development of "Fintech 3.0" companies.
The focus areas include:
Expanding stablecoins beyond USD to local currencies
Tokenizing assets like stocks and credit markets
Creating consumer applications, including AI-driven financial agents
This initiative aims to advance the financial industry on-chain, exemplified by Base's partnership with Shopify for global USDC payments.
The effort aligns with U.S. legislative movements, such as the GENIUS Act, aimed at providing regulatory clarity for stablecoin issuers and broader crypto market regulations.
