As optimism grows for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve a spot bitcoin ETF (BTC-USD), Coinbase (COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong sits down with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi to discuss his 2024 outlook, calling crypto “”the future of money.””
Despite regulatory headwinds, Armstrong notes crypto’s resilience, with prices up 90% year-to-date. However, he says the “”unclear rulebook”” so far features “”a lot of unanswered questions,”” causing “”consumer harm”” in the absence of clear-cut regulation. With Congress and courts left to navigate standards, Armstrong views crypto oversight in the US as being “”behind”” that of other countries.
Nonetheless, Armstrong remains bullish on further adoption driving crypto’s staying power. He believes an approved spot bitcoin ETF could spur another influx of investors and institutional capital while also raising awareness — though he cautions that additional policy clarity is still needed on crypto’s path towards mainstream viability as an asset class.

Crypto is the future of more scam, like the last 10 years. what did the blochchain technology bring the last 10 years?
What do you mean by decentralized? Solana is centralized af with VC monopoly. This is not why we wanted from Bitcoin and crypto
Pulse Chain and HEX = True DeFi!
Pulse Chain, HEX and Liquid Loans = True DeFi!
👍👍👍Higher interest rates, concerns about a possible recession and instability in the banking system have plagued smaller stocks. I’m still at a crossroads deciding if to invest $400k on my stock portfolio. what’s the best way to take advantage of the market🚀🚀🚀🚀.
There are many interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don’t have to act on every forecast, so I’ll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire
He looks like a hitman
Or Lex Luther
A question that people would ask is, what about the stability of the coin? People see the movement, but they also pay attention to the movement. USD has a stable platform, a lot of cryptos do not have a stable platform. How can people trust the stability when the price fluctuations change daily?
correct
Price follows use. Bitcoin & Litecoin halving supply shock effect coming down the track….🌧️ 🎅🏻..🫐
Last ‘round of halvings’ signaled the beginnings of the 2019 – 2021 price surge!” Bitcoin & Litecoin top 2 for payments 🛒 🏃♀️
Buying Bitcoin because you are dissatisfied with our financial system is like eating dog turds because you don’t like the grocery stores.
if your afraid of change look away honey
sorry sir but not true
Wrong!
I checked with my bank and they do create money by mining it….. they loan it out with interest… try cashing in on bitcoin….. it is not easy
hahahahahaha crypto will only work if issued and backed by governments. All else is a ponzi
Coinbase is the Only exchange i use as i know its in the US.
I’m still laughing at Jamie Dimon’s comments on crypto yet they running JPM Coin and Onyx 😂
He has to feel that way. It’s his job. How about hearing from someone slightly more independent?
Cryptocurrency should just be used within companies to use for credit coupons and discounts, because if cryptocurrency owns companies, criminals can easily steal a company
Coinbase now is like Amazon in 1995
We need them to relist Terra Classic
Coinbase sucks, and they will keep your money, without no problem,, enjoy paying for that, service,,lol
@@tranquilitystation777 I’m referring to holding the stock, not using the service.
It’s too early to make any judgment. Blockchain is in the infancy stage. Not sure what the future holds but I did learn this way back. You don’t have to understand a technology, to realize that it is here to stay.
The infrastructure is just about ready it will be by 2025 but the next version of the web isn’t just blockchain but AI as well AI and blockchain.
we’re so early
WE NEED COINBASE TO LIST TERRA LUNA CLASSIC 🎉🌙
Terra Luna Classic to $100
Cypto, is complicated, so much the average user, will lose, it changes like the wind. Cash never had the issues that cypto bring.
To many scams with crypto money. It will never be the future and il make sure of that.
🤣
Money is an illusion. Information is the currency. BTC isn’t the real bitcoin. Crypto isn’t crypto. The implementation of any information system is very, very tricky. Hence, most of them end up in the garbage bin after spending a fortune.
do you know coinbase has been restricting people and preventing them from self custody? they are restricting transfers aka sending ability to another wallet. not your keys, not your coins. which means you are stuck holding your bitcoin on their exchange like centralized tyranny. why isn’t anyone talking about this? just google coinbase restricting crypto and see what a major issue this is going on right now that nobody is talking about!
