For decades, income growth from capital has dramatically outpaced that from labor, but capital ownership remains a privilege of the few. We must bridge this divide by transitioning from the current system that excludes the majority to one that empowers them. The solution lies in the convergence of technology and policy. By harnessing the transformational potential of tokenization and open blockchains, we unlock global markets for billions of savers and those wishing to raise capital. When the barriers of traditional financial infrastructure disappear, access to investment opportunities becomes as normal as owning a phone.

Users in four states have missed out on an estimated $100M+ in less than two years

Regulators in California, New Jersey, Maryland, and Wisconsin issued misguided cease-and-desist orders in June 2023 prohibiting Coinbase users from staking additional assets. Coinbase is permitted to offer its staking services in nearly every other state. Users in these four states should be permitted to stake, too.
