Chainalysis has integrated Coinbase Commerce to allow customers to conveniently settle their invoices using a wide range of digital assets as part of the firm’s efforts to support the evolving needs of customers, particularly in the rapidly growing DeFi sector.
This new payment option allows Chainalysis to streamline the payment process for many of its customers, eliminating traditional barriers and reducing the friction associated with fiat transactions.

Could Coinbase move to Hong Kong?
Meanwhile, the US regulatory turmoil initiated by the SEC a few years ago and doubled down earlier this month with the lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase, continues its chain reaction.
Yesterday, Hong Kong legislator Johnny Ng took to Twitter to invite Coinbase and other crypto exchanges to establish a presence in the region. Besides expressing his willingness to assist Coinbase in the registration and development process, he hinted at potential opportunities for stock listings.
“I hereby offer an invitation to welcome all global virtual asset trading operators including Coinbase to come to [Hong Kong] for application of official trading platforms and further development plans,” Ng tweeted.
