Coinbase Launches KYC-Free USDC Onramp via Brian App for Transactions Under $500, Targeting Younger Users

Coinbase has introduced a new feature allowing users to onramp directly from the Brian App, enabling purchases of USDC with a simple command. This development is seen as a significant step toward making on-chain applications more accessible, particularly for younger users. The new onramp product does not require Know Your Customer (KYC) verification for transactions under $500, which could streamline the process for casual users. Additionally, there are inquiries about integrating Cash App as an onramp to the Base network, indicating a growing interest in simplifying access to cryptocurrency for a broader audience.
