Coinbase Strikes Game-Changing Partnerships with American Express and Shopify

Crypto just went mainstream—again. Coinbase just inked deals with two of the biggest names in finance and e-commerce, and the market''s already buzzing.

Why it matters: When legacy giants like Amex and Shopify cozy up to crypto, it''s not just validation—it''s an on-ramp for millions of new users. Even your boomer uncle might finally buy Bitcoin now.

The fine print: No terms disclosed (classic crypto opacity), but expect tighter integrations between Coinbase''s exchange and Amex''s card network, plus Shopify''s merchant ecosystem. Translation: easier crypto spending for normies.

The cynical take: Wall Street''s still salty they didn''t get first dibs—watch them scramble to launch ''regulated'' clones by Q3. Meanwhile, Coinbase just checkmated the traditional finance dinosaurs.
