Coinbase CEO On Economic Freedom In U.S

Amid facing legal challenges from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase pointed out falling economic conditions in the country. He stated that economic freedom is still a crucial measure to check out any country’s potential growth. However, Coinbase’s major mission is to grow economic liberty.

Armstrong praised Singapore and mentioned that it stands at the top of the 2023 ranking. He highlighted that the country has done an incredible job on the majority of the dimensions included. However, there is still one area left where Singapore can do better, he added.

According to a report, the United States is on a major decline in economic freedom ranking in 2023. It now stands at the 25th spot. It added that the biggest reason behind its fall is Congress spending.
