No CEO or company has fought harder for effective crypto regulation than @brian_armstrong and @coinbase.

I'm thrilled to be taking the helm as Vice Chair to ensure Coinbase's gold standard for digital assets dominates globally.

The Clarity Act is at the one yard line. From my years already spent at Coinbase and my time at the SEC, I know what a crucial unlock a regulatory framework will be to protecting millions of American consumers who use crypto in their day-to-day lives.

Americans deserve the best financial opportunities and protections, so it's great to see bipartisan support for getting this done.

Thanks to @morningsmaria for having me on this morning to discuss the details.

Global markets are already trading equity perps. The question isn't whether they exist, but where.

US investors deserve access to these markets under the strong consumer protections and joint oversight of the CFTC and SEC.

The US should lead, not cede, this space.

Today @Coinbase, @Kalshi, @Payward, DRW Holdings, @Jumptrading, and @Paradigm moved for leave to file an amicus brief defending the @CFTC’s authority to regulate single stock perpetuals in the US.

The law is clear. Under the CEA and the securities futures framework Congress established in 2000, security futures products are not “swaps.”

Others would rather litigate than compete with innovative products that promise to open up new markets and financial opportunities for American investors with the oversight and investor protection of the @CFTC and @SECGov built in.

Killing innovation won’t stop these products. It will just keep them offshore and unregulated. We’ve been working for years to onshore equity perps in a responsible and regulated way and won’t stop until we bring these products to our customers.

The next stage for stablecoins: meeting people where their money is.

PNC clients can now receive USDC - converted 1-to-1 into dollars and deposited straight into their account.

PNC’s corporate and institutional clients can now receive USDC payments.

Coinbase Payment APIs automatically convert USDC to dollars and wire them to PNC as regular bank deposits.

Infrastructure powering stablecoin adoption.

Coinbase has long pushed for clear, consistent federal rules and today's OCC approval puts more of our business behind that commitment.

This launch is years in the making and another important step toward integrating digital assets into our broader financial system.

Enjoyed the conversation on @BloombergTV today about key takeaways from this election.

Americans care about affordability and financial fairness - and crypto is central to both the conversation and the solution.

As a new session begins, our priorities remain clear: protect consumers, foster innovation, and secure American leadership. We're ready to work with the new Congress on all three.
