Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong expects U.S. banks to push for interest-paying stablecoins, arguing they will shift from low-cost deposit models to capitalize on risk-on assets. In a X post on December 27, 2025, Armstrong criticized banking groups for their efforts to amend the GENIUS Act, calling it sophistry and a waste. He emphasized that stablecoins remain critical for CFT (Countering the Financing of Terrorism) compliance. A coalition of 125 crypto firms, including Coinbase, opposes changes to the law, warning they would muddle regulatory clarity.
