Donald Trump

Chair

Gary

<div class="intro-text"> 
 Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has called on the next chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to apologize to the cryptocurrency sector for what he views as unfavourable treatment under current chair Gary Gensler. 
</div> 
<a href="https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1851103674744832334?s=19">In a post on X</a>, Armstrong criticized ongoing legal actions against digital asset exchanges, including Coinbase and Binance.US, arguing that these cases have harmed the U.S. crypto industry and prompted companies to relocate to more favourable jurisdictions like the UAE, El Salvador, and Hong Kong. 
Armstrong acknowledged that while an apology may not fully address the damage done, it could serve as a foundation for rebuilding trust between the SEC and the digital asset industry. 
The CEO pointed out inconsistencies in the securities regulator’s classification of cryptocurrencies, highlighting that the agency has classified some digital assets as securities under the Howey test yet contradicted itself in a recent footnote in the XRP case, describing cryptocurrencies as investment contracts instead of securities.
