Europe’s Crypto Shift Has Begun

Côme Prost-Boucle, ‪@Coinbase‬ EU Growth Lead joined me at EthCC - ‪@ethereum_france‬

Europe just flipped the switch on crypto — and most people have no idea what that means.

Coinbase is positioning for total dominance across Europe under MiCA… but behind the headlines there’s a deeper shift happening. Adoption, regulation, education, and a battle over who controls the next financial system — and possibly the next version of the internet itself.

In this conversation, I break down what’s really going on:

– Is Europe ahead or already falling behind?

– Why adoption is still early (and what changes that)

– The real strategy behind Coinbase in Europe

– Why I’m sceptical about tokenised stocks

– Base, wallets, and the push toward an “everything exchange”

– And the bigger question: is crypto still stuck in finance… or about to escape it?

This is not the usual crypto hype. This is what actually matters next.
