Coinbase CEO Responds to Stablecoin Rewards and Banking Regulation Debate
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong addressed questions about how USDC rewards differ from bank interest and whether Coinbase should face bank capital and liquidity requirements in a September 19 interview with MoneyRehabPodcast.
Armstrong said the rewards pass on part of the returns from underlying short-term U.S. Treasuries and are legally distinguished from deposit interest. He emphasized that Coinbase does not issue stablecoins or engage in fractional-reserve lending, while stablecoin issuers maintain full reserves. He also criticized some major banks for allegedly using government intervention to restrict competition. — link
