Coinbase Aims to Integrate Crypto in Every Financial Firm: Report

  • Brian Armstrong emphasizes the necessity of embracing stronger, crypto-friendly regulations.
  • Coinbase CEO sheds light on the platform’s intention to expand its services globally.
  • The interview also focuses on Armstrong’s optimistic approach to the Spot Bitcoin ETFs.

In a recent interview, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong addressed the platform’s resoluteness in global expansion amidst the crucial lack of crypto regulation. Armstrong lambasted the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), alleging that the agency’s regulatory ambiguities overlook Americans’ growing interest in digital currencies.

The video spotlighted Coinbase’s primary goal of expanding the crypto market as a whole, with the intention of integrating crypto into every financial firm. Reflecting on Coinbase’s recent launch in Canada, the CEO asserted that the company has already directed its way towards establishing its services in the international markets of G-20 countries.

Further, Armstrong lamented the regulatory hurdles that the crypto community faces. He argued that the SEC’s regulatory scrutiny has been seriously impacting the US financial and technological sector, resulting in the fall of their lead. Such rigid rules have forced crypto exchanges including Coinbase to move offshore, leaving America. Pointing out the possibility of ceasing services in the United States, driven by the regulatory inconveniences, Armstrong cited, “America is going to get this right.”

However, the CEO utilized the moment to acknowledge the US judicial system for its unbiased laws that recently secured a landmark victory for leading crypto platforms. He referred to the court ruling that addressed the regulators as “unlawful” and “arbitrary and capricious”, questioning the SEC’s rejection of Grayscale Investment’s Spot Bitcoin ETF application.

The CEO’s optimistic beliefs on Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) were strongly evident in his affirmation that the ETFs would potentially benefit Coinbase, along with being a source of new capital to the crypto ecosystem. He added that in several ETF applications, Coinbase has been cited as the custodian.

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of ...

Crypto Bias Blocks People from Seeing Coinbase as Goldman 2.0: Bitwise CEO

In a recent tweet, Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, shared his frustration with the poor attention given to the US-based crypto, Coinbase, claiming that people are “sleeping” on the crypto business. Horsley argued that while big banks like Goldman Sachs attempt to avoid a “slow death” by investing in technology, APIs, and retail services, Coinbase has already achieved what many banks strive to attain. He points out that the exchange has an exceptional institutional team with 25% of the most significant hedge funds as clients, over 50% institutional volume, and a suite of first-class tech products. The Bitwise CEO also claimed that Coinbase co-invented the USDC payment rail, facilitating $2 trillion in transfers in 2022 Q4 alone. Rant — People are sleeping on Coinbase. Big banks like GS are working to avoid slow death by getting into technology, APIs (Apple deal), more retail services (Marcus), while grappling with the heft of legacy biz, rate exposure, ...
