The US will find the 'right outcome' for crypto, eventually – Coinbase CEO

In an interview with WSJ, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong explained that entrepreneurs who left the United States will return when the government finds the "right outcome" for crypto regulation. Brian Armstrong, the CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, is confident that the United States will achieve clarity with crypto regulations, “even if it takes a while.” However, he believes this is the vital component to luring entrepreneurs back to the country.

According to the @SECGov's filings database this was part of a pre-planned stock sale initiated in August 2022 that was intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c). Setting a sale to happen on the 1st Monday of the month/start of the 3rd fiscal quarter, I'm told, isn't too unusual. https://t.co/iZBrsqhet9 — Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett)...
