Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Presses Crypto Market Structure Bill at Davos 2026
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is using meetings at the World Economic Forum in Davos to push for progress on stalled U.S. crypto market structure legislation and to narrow differences with major banks. He has withdrawn Coinbase's backing for the current Senate Banking draft, citing issues around tokenized equities, DeFi, privacy and the balance of power between the CFTC and SEC, while arguing stablecoins can benefit both crypto firms and traditional lenders.
