Coinbase CEO says CLARITY Act failure reduces competition
Coinbase Global CEO Brian Armstrong said the Senate's failure to pass the CLARITY Act likely reduced competition because he expected major financial firms to incorporate crypto under that bill. He added that SEC and CFTC rules may be more permissive in some ways and therefore could help Coinbase in the short term. The SEC granted a five-year temporary exemption for tokenized securities venues that use permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools, while Coinbase reported nearly $1 billion in tokenized stock trade volume and said a U.S. version may include onchain KYC.

Context
