Exciting? Yes. Important? Absolutely. But breaking news? Not exactly. We've been saying since earlier this year that @SECGov should enable markets to unlock tokenized securities. Tokenized debt, equity, and investment funds present an opportunity for tailored regulation for securities that are offered and traded via digitally native methods.
Today we are going to see the United States Senate pass major crypto legislation with bipartisan support. A year ago I would’ve thought this at best was a fever dream. Think for a moment on how far we’ve come.
The root of so much government mischief lies in a third-party doctrine developed in the technology stone ages. @coinbase will always support legitimate law enforcement, but SCOTUS needs to end dragnet searches of digital customer data. @KannonShanmugam as always makes the compelling argument.
And there it is. BiTGlobal just dismissed – with prejudice– its contrived lawsuit over our decision to delist wBTC. This important win affirms our clear right to manage security and risk for @coinbase users. 1/3

Congrats to @DavidFBailey for an amazing @TheBitcoinConf 2025. A huge thank you to Crypto Czar @davidsacks47 for talking with me about the administration’s work to make America the global leader in crypto, and also to @SenLummis for joining me on stage to chat about the bipartisan momentum for crypto legislation in DC. 1/2
Under the mattress/lockbox. Interest-bearing stablecoins. Fractional reserve banking. Each makes a trade between risk and reward. Each has its place in our financial system.
Votes by Congress are much like verdicts by juries. A few hecklers at the extremes may threaten to derail things, but the common sense of the majority usually prevails. We are going to see common sense prevail this week on stablecoins.
Blockchain evidence spoke when victims couldn't. @Coinbase traced stolen crypto from a Birmingham dating‑app robbery ring, helping land 80‑year sentences and proving transparency protects. Here’s the incredible story:
Today @coinbase is launching sharing all the docs we've received in our ongoing FOIA campaigns with various government regulators – including 10,000+ pages of previously unpublished docs. Government transparency shouldn’t be a privilege. Among the early finds are: 1/3
There's little wrong with self hosted wallets, permissionless infrastructure and privacy protocols that can't be solved with what is right about self hosted wallets, permissionless infrastructure and privacy protocols.
