Coinbase CEO Declares U.S. Election a Big Win for Crypto
In a recent post on X, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong expressed his view that the 2024 U.S. election represents a landmark win for cryptocurrency. With 257 pro-crypto candidates elected to the House of Representatives, Armstrong noted that the incoming Congress will be the most supportive of crypto-related policies.
Moreover, the CEO pointed out the bipartisan nature of this support, as pro-crypto candidates won in districts across party lines. Concurrently, the coinbase CEO also blamed the previous administration for trying to kill the crypto industry. He emphasized,
“The country fully repudiated the work of Senator Warren and Gary Gensler who tried for years to unlawfully kill our industry. They both should take their share of responsibility for the loss of their party (along with Biden and Harris for letting them run amuck).”
According to Armstrong, the crypto industry’s appeal to both sides of the aisle was a strategic advantage in the election. Armstrong also revealed that Coinbase and its advocacy groups focused on electing candidates who favor technological innovation and economic freedom.
Additionally, He highlighted that the message of economic freedom resonated with voters. Armstrong sees this trend as a foundation for bipartisan support for crypto legislation moving forward.
Fairshake Fund Boosts Pro-Crypto Efforts for 2026
To solidify these gains, Coinbase CEO Armstrong discussed the role of Fairshake, a pro-crypto fund, in supporting candidates who back the crypto industry. Fairshake, which is partly funded by Coinbase, has already secured $78 million for the 2026 election cycle. Most recently, Armstrong said there will be no slowdown in pro-crypto advocacy post-US election, committing an additional $25 million to Fairshake PAC.
The CEO noted that Fairshake’s financial commitment reflects the industry’s long-term strategy to secure a stable regulatory environment in the digital asset space. Similarly, StandWithCrypto, another initiative supported by Coinbase, is also set to expand, aiming to grow its network to 4 million members by 2026.
In addition, Brian Armstrong clarified that Coinbase does not charge projects a premium fee for listings. Addressing concerns on social media, Armstrong stated that the exchange supports fair access to its platform for emerging projects. He also suggested that decentralized exchanges can also provide alternatives to centralized listing hurdles.
