Coinbase todavía está comprometida con el criptomercado de EE. UU., dice el CEO
- El CEO de Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, declaró que su empresa está 100% comprometida con el mercado estadounidense y no abandonará el país.
- El intercambio anunció que cerraría Coinbase Borrow, un servicio que permitía a los inversores estadounidenses pedir prestado dinero en efectivo para criptografía.
- Armstrong dijo que tiene fe en los legisladores estadounidenses y en su motivación para presentar la mejor y más adecuada legislación sobre criptografía.
- He said that his company’s engagement with the SEC has yielded no positive results as the regulator failed to point out its concerns.
The leading crypto exchange in the United States, Coinbase, might not be leaving the US market after all, despite the regulatory hindrances that the securities regulator of the region, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has put in the way of the development of crypto companies. Interestingly, the CEO of the only publicly listed digital asset trading company in the US, Brian Armstrong, stated that his company is “100% committed” to the country, adding that he has faith in the regulators.
en un declaración on May 5, Armstrong assured the company’s shareholders regarding its faithfulness to the US market. Moreover, the faithfulness of Coinbase in the US market comes at a time when the SEC and US lawmakers are cracking down heavily on all the blockchain-focused crypto companies.
“So let me be clear, we’re 100% committed to the U.S. I founded this company in the United States because I saw that rule of law prevails here. That’s really important, and I’m actually really optimistic on the U.S. getting this right,” Armstrong said.
Additionally, as per Armstrong, whenever he visits the regulators in Washington, DC, “there is strong bipartisan support for Congress to come in and create new legislation that would create a clear rule book in the U.S., and I think it’s really important for America to get this right.” The Coinbase executive has strong faith in the US Congress and their motivation to pass suitable crypto legislation for investors.
Sin embargo, Armstrong no es del todo optimista cuando se trata de las impredecibles acciones de ejecución que la Comisión de Bolsa y Valores (SEC), bajo el liderazgo de Gary Gensler, toma contra las empresas de criptomonedas. Es importante mencionar aquí que Coinbase recibió recientemente un Aviso de Wells del regulador con respecto a sus servicios de participación. El regulador también tiene motivos para creer que la plataforma de negociación cotiza valores.
Armstrong stated that “it’s especially difficult to predict the timeline of any potential SEC litigation that we might face,” while adding:
“Despite our ongoing engagement with the commission, they have not been as clear about what their specific concerns are with Coinbase as we might like, and so I have to refrain from speculating too much.”
Como informó anteriormente Bitnation, Coinbase envió recientemente un correo electrónico a sus usuarios diciendo que detener la emisión de nuevos préstamos a través de su servicio de préstamo, que permite a los criptoinversionistas usar su criptografía como garantía y recibir efectivo por su uso. Se pueden tomar nuevos préstamos antes del 10 de mayo, después de lo cual solo los clientes existentes podrán continuar con sus préstamos.
Coinbase also made public its Q1 2023 results on May 4, and it was confirmed that the company managed to significantly narrow its net loss and performed much better than expected. The shares of the company climbed almost 8% as a result. Moreover, the company’s net loss fell from $557 million in Q4 2022 to $79 million in Q1, partly attributed to a 22% increase in revenue to $736 million.
según el carta de accionistas, los ingresos por volumen de transacciones de los inversores institucionales de Coinbase aumentaron en 66% a más de $22,3 millones, mientras que los ingresos por transacciones de los inversores minoristas aumentaron en 14,1% a $352,1 millones.
