It seems like the cryptocurrency world is about to get a lot more interesting. Or, at the very least, a lot more dramatic. ๐ According to popular journalist Eleanor Terrett, the Trump administration is throwing a tantrum because Coinbase didn’t get on board with a bill that would supposedly regulate the crypto market. And by “tantrum,” I mean they’re considering pulling their support for the bill entirely. ๐คฏ
The White House is reportedly “furious” with Coinbase’s decision to pull out of negotiations, calling it a “rug pull” against them and the rest of the crypto industry. ๐ซ I mean, I’ve seen some salty tweets in my day, but this takes the cake.
SCOOP: The White House is considering pulling its support for the crypto market structure bill entirely if @coinbase does not come back to the table with a yield agreement that satisfies the banks and gets everyone to a deal, a source close to the Trump administration tells me.โฆ

Apparently, Coinbase’s CEO Brian Armstrong had some issues with the bill, including a de facto ban on tokenized equities, DeFi prohibitions, and the erosion of the CFTC’s authority. ๐ค But the White House is all like, “Hey, this is President Trump’s bill, not yours, Brian.” ๐
Meanwhile, Citron Research is calling Armstrong out for undermining the bill, saying he’s just trying to protect Coinbase’s interests and prevent competition from tokenized securities firms. ๐ค It’s like a big ol’ game of crypto chicken, and I’m here for it. ๐ฟ
The Senate Banking Committee was supposed to discuss the bill on January 15, but they postponed it and haven’t rescheduled yet. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how this drama plays out. Stay tuned, folks! ๐บ
