Armstrong Says US Is ‘Back On Offense’
In an X post, Armstrong shared his positive outlook on the cryptocurrency scene in the country, stating, “The U.S. finally feels like it’s back on offense. Innovation is happening and is encouraged.”
Armstrong shared a clip from a recent interview at the New York Times Dealbook Summit, where he discussed the “democratization of access” to cryptocurrency products, the growth of prediction markets and the regulatory clarity for stablecoins.
“It’s hard not to be an optimist right now. It’s kind of a golden age for freedom,” the Coinbase CEO said.
Armstrong added that the U.S. has a chance to “update” the financial system with cryptocurrency and reduce “a lot of friction” in the economy.
