According to CNBC, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that the Clarifying Act, aimed at defining the regulatory jurisdiction of the SEC and CFTC over digital assets, has garnered support from multiple senators and is expected to undergo a Senate vote on September 15. He also noted that even if the bill fails to pass, both the SEC and CFTC have indicated they will proceed with rulemaking, and regulatory clarity “will come regardless.” On the business front, Coinbase is actively advancing its diversification strategy by expanding its trading offerings to include equities, commodities, and foreign exchange, while non-trading revenue streams include stablecoins and institutional custody services. The company reported second-quarter revenue of $1.2 billion, a year-over-year decline, and a net loss of $359.5 million, marking its third consecutive quarter below market expectations. Year to date, Coinbase’s stock has declined approximately 23%.
