Most of the people would be excited by such a news but I'm not. I'm actually against everything that Coinbase does, they might be facilitating access to crypto and trading but from the way I see it, it seems like they are turning into a bank and that's something that shouldn't be found in the bitcoin scene.
I don't think they intend to do that, it's not like most other exchanges, only Coinbase is superior in some ways. so they can develop in a country that certainly supports crypto activities. Clients will also get a positive impact because access will be easier
