He says he delisted XRP because it may be a security. So he operated in good faith and delisted it.
He then says the SEC told him, they think everything except Bitcoin may be a security.
Yet, he didn’t delist everything but Bitcoin in the same “good faith” that he used to delist “XRP”….

Nice day for a reminder. This guy had no problem with the government when it came to delisting XRP.

It’s not a “bad” bill.
One company is unhappy with it because it implicates how THEY make money.
If we plan on waiting for a bill that makes everyone happy, we will never get a bill.

A bad crypto bill is worse than no bill. My thoughts on the stablecoin yield debate👇
English
Don't be fooled.
JPM and Coinbase are partners. This is nothing but another stalling tactic to slow adoption so that the potential regime change can unleash choke point 3.0
Coinbase is already a financial incumbent.

Hey, @coinbase was Gary also fighting for the betterment of retail investors?

Brian Armstrong's entire brand is fighting regulatory capture.
He just held the CLARITY Act hostage a bill the whole industry built for years because it might cut into Coinbase's stablecoin yield business.
a16z called him out. Trump's crypto czar called him out. The White House called it a rug pull.
Turns out the biggest threat to crypto regulation isn't the SEC.
It's Coinbase's revenue model.

@cryptomanran @brian_armstrong No Clarity Act means zero institutional adoption and also very bad for crypto in general. If this doesn’t pass USA will last in crypto 💯. Ego’s shouldn’t get in the way here period!
English
I support @brian_armstrong in this fight against the Clarity Act!
Not allowing holders to earn passive yield is effectively forcing a new technology to be slowed just to protect and outdated banking system that couldn't innovate.
If the USA really want to win, they should allow the technology to do what it can do!
To the banks...
You have been protected by bailouts and regulations for years. You have had plenty of time and profits to innovate. You didn't.
Stop trying to delay the inevitable for your personal again.
English
Bullshit.
Brian wants to hold your money like a bank and not be liable like a bank.

THE COINBASE CEO JUST EXPOSED THEM LIVE ON FOX. Big banks blocking the President’s crypto agenda. Behind the scenes. Right now. Not regulators. Not politicians. YOUR OWN BANK. Fighting to keep you out. $100M in lobbying. Back room deals. Blocking legislation. While the whole world watches. The fight is real. And crypto is winning.

COME GUYS ITS WORKING SPREAD THE WORK

@ChadSteingraber Without Clarity Act trillions won’t happen. They gotta get that done quickly!

Imagine what happens when Billions hit per day.
Imagine what happens when Trillions hit per day.

The entire point of crypto is to opt out of the banking system, not to negotiate away the best parts of this asset class and technology.
Fuck the banks.

@EleanorTerrett @SenThomTillis @coinbase Who are the other stakeholders? USA will most likely be last in crypto with a dead Clarity Act just saying!
English
🚨NEW: A staffer for @SenThomTillis (R-NC) tells me his office plans to publicly release legislative text next week detailing stablecoin yield/rewards provisions, as talks with stakeholders continue.
The move comes after @coinbase and other crypto stakeholders were unsatisfied with the parameters of a deal shown to a small group of industry leaders earlier this week.
Coinbase's Global Head of Investment Research @DavidDuong says industry leaders are currently working on a coordinated counterproposal "to explain why targeted changes are needed to protect customers and preserve sustainable rewards programs."

🚨The Clarity Act: CRYPTO’S REGULATORY GREEN LIGHT
Do you think President Trump is about to sign the CLARITY Act into law and deliver the definitive breakthrough the global financial sector has demanded?
By replacing years of legal ambiguity with concrete, statutory rules, this legislation flashes a massive "green light" for trillions of dollars in sidelined institutional capital. For utility-driven assets like #XRP, this framework clears the runway for true institutional integration, cross-border settlement, and real-world asset tokenization at scale.
The regulatory clouds are parting, and the institutional engines are primed. Prepare for a monumental, market-defining shift. #crypto
English
The banks are on board, the crypto industry is on board, the White House is on board, and President Trump wants the bill on his desk this spring. The only thing standing in the way of the CLARITY Act right now is Coinbase, because they care more about what’s good for Coinbase than what’s good for the crypto industry. One company should not be able to hold up legislation this important.

🚨BREAKING: White House WARNS Coinbase It Could LOSE CLARITY Act If It WAITS TOO LONG 😳🇺🇸🔥 White House Crypto Adviser @patrickjwitt used football analogy to WARN @Coinbase and @brian_armstrong regarding their last rejection of CLARITY Act proposal text. 👀 @patrickjwitt used a quarterback analogy about an “internal clock” — knowing when to get rid of the ball BEFORE you get sacked. 🤯 👉 the CLARITY Act compromise is the ball 👉 the political window to pass it is the collapsing pocket 👉 and @Coinbase may be waiting TOO LONG for a better play instead of taking the deal that is in front of them now 😳 @patrickjwitt tries to explain @brian_armstrong to not hold out for the PERFECT bill. Take the best passable deal while the chance is still there, OR LOSE IT ALL. 😵🔥 More to come.
English
@MasterHuzzah @coinbase @brian_armstrong @patrickjwitt 💯 can kick. Many are doubtful Clarity Act gets done at all. The window is barely open. USA on track to become last in crypto! Oh and my opinion. 😉
English
I respect what @coinbase @brian_armstrong have done for Crypto Legislation.
And, anyone who thinks they are stalling the Clarity Act to protect retail clients is FOOLISH.
They are slowing down clarity and rewriting the rules for THEIR OWN GAIN—not so different from the banking lobbies.
PASS THE CLARITY ACT.
Progress > perfection.

Do you support @brian_armstrong push back on the CLARITY Act until stablecoin yield is allowed?
English
🚨 Coinbase just rejected the latest Senate compromise on stablecoin yields in the CLARITY Act.
The new language bans passive yield on holdings like the 4% APY many get on USDC while allowing activity-based rewards. Coinbase says it's still too restrictive.
This is the same fight that's stalled the bill for months: Banks want to protect deposits, crypto wants users to actually earn on their stablecoins.
Without Coinbase's support, CLARITY risks more delays right before midterms. Regulatory clarity or bank protectionism?
What do you think good compromise or overreach?
BSCN@BSCNews
🚨 POLITICS: COINBASE REJECTS LATEST SENATE STABLECOIN YIELD COMPROMISE @coinbase has told Senate offices it cannot support the newest CLARITY Act language on stablecoin yields, throwing another wrench into the crypto industry's top legislative priority. The exchange voiced concerns during a Monday meeting over the latest compromise text drafted by Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks, which bans passive stablecoin yield while allowing activity-based rewards. The new "economic equivalence" standard is broader than prior drafts. The resistance is reportedly less severe than CEO Brian Armstrong's January opposition that single-handedly derailed the bill's markup. Talks are continuing, but without Coinbase's backing the legislation faces a difficult path. Senator Moreno has warned the bill stalls indefinitely if it doesn't pass by May.

@MikeD72791254 @dtomnj @J9Dalton @coinbase @brian_armstrong Sure like the Clarity Act that likely won’t pass, USA will be last in crypto, banks already won. No clarity in crypto will never draw institutional adoption period. Oh my opinion 😉

I have decided to stop using @coinbase because of what they said today. I'm done with you, @brian_armstrong. #BoycottCoinbase
