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. 

Em um declaração 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. 

No entanto, Armstrong não está totalmente otimista quando se trata das imprevisíveis ações de execução que a Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (SEC), sob a liderança de Gary Gensler, toma contra empresas de criptomoedas. É importante mencionar aqui que a Coinbase recebeu recentemente um Wells Notice do regulador sobre seus serviços de staking. O regulador também tem motivos para acreditar que a plataforma de negociação lista títulos. 

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.”

Conforme relatado anteriormente pela Bitnation, a Coinbase enviou recentemente um e-mail para seus usuários dizendo que irá interromper a emissão de novos empréstimos por meio de seu Serviço de Empréstimo, que permite que os investidores em criptomoedas usem suas criptomoedas como garantia e recebam dinheiro pelo seu uso. Novos empréstimos podem ser tomados antes de 10 de maio, após o qual apenas os clientes existentes poderão continuar com seus empréstimos. 

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.

Conforme carta dos acionistas, a receita do volume de transações de investidores institucionais da Coinbase aumentou 66% para mais de $22,3 milhões, enquanto a receita de transações de investidores de varejo aumentou 14,1% para $352,1 milhões.
