The United States is building the world’s most comprehensive digital asset regulatory framework. Congress has already passed the GENIUS Act, and lawmakers are now advancing market structure legislation through the CLARITY Act. But one critical piece of the puzzle is still missing: the tax code.

A new paper from the Coinbase Institute, From the Unbanked to the Unbrokered: Unlocking Wealth Creation for the World, highlights how to close the capital chasm.

The GENIUS Act is a game changer, ensuring that the future of money runs onchain.

Starting today, New Yorkers can stake their crypto on Coinbase.

The “deposit erosion” panic is a myth. Stablecoins aren’t draining savings—they’re improving payments and bypassing banks’ $187B fee machine. If banks were short on deposits, they’d raise rates, not park cash at the Fed.

Tl;dr: Momentum around regulatory clarity is undeniable, but there remains one more important and obvious opportunity for improvement: updating the arcane Bank Secrecy Act.

TL;DR: The newly enacted GENIUS Act will provide a federal legal framework for stablecoins like USDC, ensuring transparency, safety, and regulatory clarity for all users, from retail to institutional.

Tl;dr: Coinbase is pleased to welcome political strategist David Plouffe to its Global Advisory Council.

The SEC and five red-and-blue states have dropped their lawsuits against Coinbase’s staking services – joining 40 other states that do not object to staking activity. It’s time for the remaining five states to do the same – and stop harming consumers.

As everyone knows, the war against crypto waged by the previous SEC and its allies is over—crypto won.

Blockchain technology is emerging as a key tool to help government entities across the country do more with less, and make public services more efficient and effective.

Congress faces a historic opportunity to enact thoughtful legislation that provides clarity for innovators and businesses while protecting consumers and empowering individuals to participate in the digital economy.

Coinbase is requesting federal banking regulators update guidance that allows banks to offer C&E services and remove inconsistent roadblocks preventing lawful crypto actors from working with banks.

The Coinbase Global Advisory Council welcomed four new members with broad expertise to help the company navigate strategic decisions at a crucial moment for the crypto industry.

Today, we are committing to 1/ donating $25 million to Fairshake and its affiliates in 2025, and 2/ helping Stand with Crypto increase their membership to 4 million advocates ahead of the 2026 Midterm Elections.

In our new State of Crypto report, you can learn about a surprisingly diverse group of people, but united in their belief that the financial system needs an update and that crypto is a technology that can help enable this.

Young voters made the difference in the 2020 U.S. elections and are expected to be a deciding factor again in 2024. Any candidate that wants to win in 2024, especially in battleground states, must account for the young, pro-crypto constituency.

Coinbase is pleased to announce the introduction of a new, no-fee membership option for the Travel Rule Universal Solution Technology (TRUST) – the global, industry-driven Travel Rule solution that prioritizes customer security and privacy.
