Armstrong contends that being anti-crypto is a "bad political strategy in 2024" and highlights the growing adoption and benefits of digital assets.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has openly criticized the anti-crypto stance of United States Senators Roger Marshall and Elizabeth Warren. The criticism comes in response to their controversial push for the Digital Asset Anti-Laundering Act, which has raised eyebrows within the crypto community.
The Chamber of Digital Commerce, a prominent blockchain trade association, highlighted Senators Marshall and Warren's attempt to influence the American Bankers Association to support their efforts to draft the Digital Asset Anti-Laundering Act. This revelation has triggered a strong reaction from Coinbase's leader.
In a straightforward response, Armstrong emphasized that opposing cryptocurrencies is a "bad political strategy in 2024." He stressed the expanding adoption and potential benefits of digital assets, stating unequivocally, "Being anti-crypto is a really bad political strategy going into 2024."
Armstrong bolstered his argument by highlighting key statistics: approximately 52 million Americans are part of the growing crypto community, with 38% of young individuals expressing strong belief in the role of cryptocurrencies in economic empowerment. Dissatisfaction with the current financial system is widespread, with over 1 million crypto enthusiasts advocating for sensible crypto policies.
Backing his claims with economic indicators, Armstrong pointed out that crypto prices have surged by 90% year-to-date, contrasting with a mere 9% satisfaction rate among Americans with the existing financial system.
Among Armstrong's arguments is the growing support for the Stand With Crypto Alliance, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit committed to promoting crypto among elected officials. With the alliance steadily approaching one million supporters, it signifies a growing force in shaping crypto-friendly policies.
The Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act, introduced in December 2022, seeks to subject crypto technologies, including noncustodial wallets, validators, and mining pools, to stringent banking regulations in the United States.
As of December 2023, the bill gained support from five additional senators, three of whom are members of the Banking Committee. The Bank Policy Institute, a U.S. banking advocacy group, has also thrown its weight behind Senator Elizabeth Warren's anti-crypto legislation.
