Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says the firm is confident it can pull through the current anti-crypto regulatory crackdown that is stirring uncertainty across the industry.
During Coinbaseโs first quarter earnings call, Armstrong says the exchange remains completely committed to making things work at home in the US.ย
Coinbase recently received a Wells Notice from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) warning of a potential coming enforcement action against the company for alleged violation of securities laws.
โSo let me be clear, weโre 100% committed to the U.S. I founded this company in the United States because I saw that rule of law prevails here. Thatโs really important.โ
Armstrong says Coinbase is setting its eyes on expanding overseas following the recent launch of Coinbase International Exchange, which targets non-US institutional clients. The CEO says heโs ultimately optimistic that US officials will eventually โget it rightโ in regards to crypto regulation, however.
โAnd weโre a global company. So we started in America. We have a big mandate to be an international, a multinational company, and we want to serve as many people around the world as we canโฆ
And Iโm actually really optimistic on the U.S. getting this right. When I go visit DC, there is strong bipartisan support for Congress to come in and create new legislation that would create a clear rule book in the U.Sโฆ
The leading financial centers, theyโre all working to create responsible crypto rules and clarity right now and the U.S. is going to follow suit, I believe.โ
