The remaining “10%” of issues center mainly on DeFi, which Brian Armstrong says lawmakers are addressing carefully to preserve innovation.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says he’s optimistic that US senators are moving closer to advancing key cryptocurrency market structure legislation by Thanksgiving, suggesting that there’s now far more agreement on both sides of the aisle than there are differences.
“Even though the government is shut down, the Senate is working hard on getting market structure legislation passed for crypto,” Armstrong said in a video posted on X.
According to Armstrong, roughly 90% of the legislative framework has already been agreed upon, with the remaining 10% focused on issues like decentralized finance (DeFi). He added that policymakers are looking for ways to protect innovation while ensuring that “centralized intermediaries, like Coinbase, should be regulated — not the protocols.”
