Coinbase's CEO, Brian Armstrong, announced the company’s plans to expand its workforce in the U.S. by hiring 1,000 new employees this year.
This move follows positive developments from the White House Crypto Summit, where regulators shared insights on the future of digital assets.
Armstrong attributed the boost in Coinbase’s hiring plans to recent actions by President Donald Trump, particularly his executive order establishing a strategic reserve for Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies.
According to Armstrong, these policies are expected to spark a significant economic shift, and Coinbase aims to be ready for the growth that follows.
Armstrong also highlighted that the current Congress is the most pro-crypto it has seen, with various legislative efforts underway. Stablecoin regulation is being addressed, and new laws are being considered to clarify the categorization of crypto assets.
Armstrong expressed optimism about formalizing the strategic Bitcoin reserve into law, viewing these steps as crucial for the industry’s future growth.
Coinbase has emerged as the best-performing stock in the S&P 500 for June, climbing 43% amid a surge of bullish momentum driven by regulatory clarity, product innovation, and deeper institutional interest in crypto.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has spotlighted a significant acceleration in institutional crypto adoption, driven largely by the surging popularity of exchange-traded funds and increased use of Coinbase Prime among major corporations.
The latest market turbulence, fueled by geopolitical tensions and investor fear, offered a textbook case of how sentiment swings and whale behavior shape crypto price action.
Jefferies chief market strategist David Zervos believes an upcoming power shift at the Federal Reserve could benefit U.S. equity markets.
