Coinbase CEO: Agreement Reached on CLARITY Act Negotiations Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that after a year of negotiations in the Senate over the CLARITY Act, lawmakers have reached an agreement on hundreds of pages of amendments. Progress has been made on SEC and CFTC appointments and unprecedented ethical commitments, with compromises from both the crypto and banking industries. Armstrong said, 'This is how legislation is supposed to work—nobody gets everything, but everyone gets most of what they need.' He added that the only question now is whether anyone will try to block this widely bipartisan-supported legislation, urging, 'Millions of Americans holding crypto are watching—it's time to vote.'
