After reviewing the Senate Banking draft text over the last 48hrs, Coinbase unfortunately can’t support the bill as written.
There are too many issues, including:
- A defacto ban on tokenized equities
- DeFi prohibitions, giving the government unlimited access to your financial records and removing your right to privacy
- Erosion of the CFTC’s authority, stifling innovation and making it subservient to the SEC
- Draft amendments that would kill rewards on stablecoins, allowing banks to ban their competition
We appreciate all the hard work by members of the Senate to reach a bi-partisan outcome, but this version would be materially worse than the current status quo. We’d rather have no bill than a bad bill. Hopefully we can all get to a better draft.
We'll keep fighting for all Americans and for economic freedom. Crypto needs to be treated on a level playing field with the rest of financial services so we can build this industry in a safe and trusted way in America.

One of many outcomes of the @Gemini 2025 Internship Program:
@RuohanDeQuant got buy in within the org (e.g. @erickuhn19), did the tech work, and now it's live.
One of the best parts about working at Gemini: you get to drive and have high impact if you want it.
When I realized Fartcoin wasn’t listed on Gemini, I knew I needed to persuade my manager @centoshi to let me help list it.
Now it is finally tradable.
Deadass this might be the funniest intern project, and definitely most memorable.
