Coinbase Global Inc. CEO Brian Armstrong urged lawmakers to support the CLARITY Act, arguing that clearer cryptocurrency regulations would protect consumers, strengthen U.S. oversight and help America maintain its leadership in financial technology.

Armstrong Urges Senate Action on Crypto Rules

On Monday, Armstrong backed the CLARITY Act in a post on X, calling it a bipartisan effort to establish clearer rules for the crypto industry.

"The CLARITY Act represents a ton of bi-partisan work to finally establish clear rules for crypto in America, which 70% of Americans say we should already have," he wrote.

The Coinbase CEO said the legislation could help address concerns around consumer protection, law enforcement and regulatory oversight.

"Whether people love crypto or hate it, there is broad consensus that we need clear rules to protect consumers, give new tools to law enforcement to stop bad actors, and to bring crypto within the U.S. regulatory perimeter so it stops going offshore where we have no control," he said.

He also highlighted provisions that would allow banks to expand their involvement with stablecoins and crypto services.

Armstrong said, "The bill even contains many pages of new authorities for banks to integrate stablecoins and crypto and grow their business, which we strongly support."

"This is about America getting back to winning, and remaining strong as a financial and technology hub, to create economic growth, jobs, and tax revenue," he added.

CLARITY Act Faces Crypto Oversight Debate

Earlier, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), crypto critic Ben McKenzie and JPMorgan Chase raised concerns about the proposed CLARITY Act, warning that clearer crypto rules must not come at the expense of investor protections and regulatory safeguards.

Sanders and McKenzie urged lawmakers to oppose the bill, arguing it could weaken oversight by shifting authority from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

McKenzie had criticized crypto as largely speculative and claimed the industry primarily benefited insiders, exchanges and token issuers.

Meanwhile, JPMorgan had supported establishing a crypto regulatory framework but had warned that stablecoins and yield-generating products could create risks without proper safeguards.

The bank had said regulatory clarity needed to be paired with strong consumer protections.

The CLARITY Act gained attention as lawmakers sought to resolve years of uncertainty over crypto oversight in the U.S.

The bill had aimed to define regulatory responsibilities and provide clearer rules for digital asset companies as institutional interest in crypto continued to grow.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.

Arrived

Backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived Homes makes real estate investing accessible with a low barrier to entry. Investors can buy fractional shares of single-family rentals and vacation homes starting with as little as $100. This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.

Realberry

Institutional-quality real estate has traditionally been difficult for individual investors to access. Realberry gives accredited investors direct access to private real estate opportunities backed by a team with 35 years of experience, $3.4 billion in assets under management, and $481 million in cumulative distributions paid to investors as of Q4 2025, according to the company. With a portfolio spanning 13 million square feet across seven U.S. states, Realberry focuses on acquiring, developing, and managing real estate with an emphasis on long-term value creation while its principals often invest alongside clients to help align interests.

FarmTogether

Farmland has historically held its value through market volatility and delivered returns uncorrelated to stocks and bonds. For accredited investors, FarmTogether offers direct access to high-quality U.S. farmland starting at $15,000 — fully managed, with no landlord headaches.

Immersed

Immersed is building technology for the future of work through spatial computing. Known for its AR/VR productivity platform that enables users to work across multiple virtual screens, the company has grown to more than 1.5 million users worldwide. Immersed is also developing Visor, a lightweight headset designed specifically for professional productivity, positioning the company at the intersection of remote work, extended reality (XR), and next-generation computing.

Fundrise

Private real estate and private credit can add income and stability to a stock-heavy portfolio. Fundrise offers access to diversified private real estate and credit strategies through an easy-to-use platform, with professionally managed portfolios designed to generate passive income and long-term growth.

Mode Mobile

Mode Mobile is changing the way people interact with their phones by letting users earn money from the same apps and activities they already use every day. Instead of platforms keeping all the advertising revenue, Mode Mobile shares a portion back with users who engage with content, play games, and scroll on their devices. Named one of Deloitte's fastest-growing software companies in North America, the company has built a large beta user base and is scaling a model that turns everyday smartphone usage into a potential income stream.

EquityMultiple

For accredited investors looking beyond stocks and bonds, EquityMultiple provides access to vetted commercial real estate deals starting at $5,000, with only ~5% of opportunities passing their due diligence process.
