Leave no FUD unchallenged
I'm assuming they were pretty much forced into doing it now, as Bitcoin.com launched their card support worldwide last week.  "Keeping up with the trend" indeed.

Coinbase is creating a centralized operation center. I wonder if that might be against the "decentralization" originally created for Bitcoin.

Coinbase is known to capture new markets and introduce new features on a regular basis. Keeping up with the trend, the leading cryptocurrency platform recently announced the inclusion of credit and debit card payments for its European customers.

Coinbase’s new offering is influenced by its performance in the home country, United States. In its blog, the company states that over forty percent of all cryptocurrency purchase in the US is made by using credit and debit cards. With the inclusion of new payment option, the company intends to replicate the same success story in the European market as well.

I suppose the next step would be to issue debit cards to its users so they can easily switch between crypto and fiat.
