As Masari CEO Ryan pointed out, this is unlikely to happen given Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong controlled the shares in the company but is still in the realm of possibility. This is because the potential collapse of troubled cryptocurrency companies in the US like Digital Currency Group, Grayscale, and Genesis Trading could have a knock-on effect for Coinbase. Coinbase has also been involved with the USDC issue a circle that posted a surprisingly small profit in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Both Coinbase and Circle are in the crosshair of the SEC. Regulatory action against one or both companies could cause coinbase stock to collapse even further than it already has. If Coinbase stock goes low enough, there is a scenario wherein a takeover of some kind could occur. After all, Coinbase is the largest crypto exchange in the US, and the big banks on wall street have been watching billion of dollars flow from the accounts onto their exchange over the last two years. They have also seen how money can take and how much data it can gather.

Iran has not yet confirmed its using BTC but there other countries that have signaled their interest.

As you make know already that the BRICS are currently working of their own reserve currency which will a combination of the existing currency.
