 According to Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, cryptocurrency would usher in a future where the global financial system is more efficient, fair, and accessible.

In<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/4h1rV53BqcuNapHzFWFFRs?si=e2fffd16c0b74c5f" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> an interview with the Wall Street Journal</a> earlier this week, Armstrong shared his optimistic vision for the future of cryptocurrency, a future where a significant portion of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) operates on crypto rails. He stated that despite the current regulatory uncertainties, he remains hopeful about the eventual establishment of clear rules crucial for the industry’s growth.
Armstrong also shared his perspective on the downfall of crypto industry rivals Sam Bankman-Fried of FTX and Changpeng Zhao, founder and <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://defi-planet.com/2023/11/binance-founder-zhao-steps-down-as-ceo-richard-teng-takes-the-helm-amidst-regulatory-challenges/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">former CEO</a> of Binance.
Both Bankman-Fried and Zhao have faced significant legal repercussions over their involvement in rule-violating actions while at the helm of both exchanges. <a href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/06/here-are-all-your-questions-about-ftx-answered/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bankman-Fried was convicted of fraud and handed a 25-year prison sentence. </a>Meanwhile, Binance and C.Z. pleaded guilty to anti-money laundering violations, resulting in <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://defi-planet.com/2024/04/binance-co-founder-zhao-to-face-sentencing-today-prosecutors-seek-three-year-prison-term/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a four-month prison term for Zhao</a> and a <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://defi-planet.com/2023/11/binance-settles-with-u-s-authorities-agrees-to-pay-4-3-billion-penalty-as-ceo-faces-potential-jail-time/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$4.3 billion fine</a> for the company.

Armstrong expressed a sense of vindication, emphasizing Coinbase’s long-term strategy focused on compliance and risk management. He attributed the company’s resilience in the volatile crypto market to its conservative approach and adherence to regulations.
According to Armstrong, unlike FTX and Binance’s aggressive overseas expansion and offering of risky financial products, Coinbase adopted a more cautious stance. While this initially led to slower growth, it shielded the company from the legal issues that plagued its competitors. He highlighted Coinbase’s 100% reserve policy, ensuring all customer funds are always available for withdrawal, in contrast to FTX’s misuse of customer funds.
Armstrong also advocated for clearer regulatory guidelines in the U.S., particularly legislation to distinguish between commodities and securities in the crypto space. He emphasized that the exchange would continue to pursue regulatory clarity for the industry and, if necessary, see its current legal battles with U.S. financial authorities to the end.

The lawsuit, filed on June 27, 2024, alleged that these agencies ignored the exchange’s FOIA requests and attempted to marginalize the cryptocurrency industry within the banking sector. Coinbase also claimed the SEC has failed to establish a clear regulatory framework for applying securities laws to the crypto market.
