Coinbase CEO Pushes Washington to Fast-Track Stablecoin Regulation—Before the Next Tether Scandal Hits
Brian Armstrong takes his lobbying game to Congress, demanding clear rules for dollar-pegged crypto. Will lawmakers act—or wait until another $40B ’stable’ coin implodes?
Behind the scenes: Big Finance hates stablecoins cutting their lunch. Banks charge $25 for cross-border transfers; USDC settles in seconds for pennies. No wonder DC drags its feet.
Cynical take: When Wall Street finally cracks stablecoins, expect ’regulation’ that conveniently requires a $500M compliance team—effectively banning everyone but Goldman Sachs.
