Trump met with Coinbase CEO before bashing banks over crypto bill
President Donald Trump met privately on Tuesday with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong before publicly backing the companyโs position in an ongoing lobbying clash with banks that has derailed a major cryptocurrency bill, according to two people with knowledge of the matter who were granted anonymity to discuss a closed-door matter.
It is unclear what was discussed during the meeting, but it came just before Trump wrote on social media that banks โneed to make a good deal with the Crypto Industryโ in order to advance digital asset legislation that has stalled on Capitol Hill. He wrote that a recently adopted crypto law is โbeing threatened and undermined by the Banks, and that is unacceptableโ โ echoing Coinbaseโs position.
A spokesperson for Coinbase declined to comment. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The policy clash centers around whether crypto exchanges like Coinbase should be able to offer rewards programs that pay an annual percentage yield to customers who hold digital tokens known as stablecoins that are designed to maintain a value of $1. Wall Street groups are warning that allowing yield-like payments on stablecoins could lead customers to pull deposits from bank accounts and threaten lending that is critical to the economy.
Banks are pushing to ban any type of stablecoin yield payments as part of a sweeping crypto regulatory bill that is currently pending in the Senate. But a wide array of digital asset firms have fought back, and the rift helped derail the so-called crypto market structure legislation bill earlier this year. The legislation would establish new rules governing how crypto tokens are overseen by market regulators โ a longtime lobbying goal for digital asset firms, which say they need โregulatory clarityโ from Washington.
Coinbase, the largest U.S.-based crypto exchange, has played a key role in the spat. On the eve of a scheduled Senate Banking Committee markup in January, Armstrong came out against the most recent publicly released draft of the crypto bill. He warned in part against โDraft amendments that would kill rewards on stablecoins, allowing banks to ban their competition.โ The markup was later postponed, and the bill has remained stalled ever since.
Since then, White House officials have sought to mediate a compromise between the two sides. The White House hosted a series of meetings with representatives from the banking and crypto sectors, but significant differences remain between the two sides and no deal has emerged.
Coinbase has become a major player in Trumpโs Washington, thanks in part to massive political spending that is already beginning to shake up the 2026 midterm elections. The exchange, which was co-founded by Armstrong, is a leading backer of a crypto super PAC group known as Fairshake that is armed with a war chest of more than $190 million. Coinbase also donated to Trumpโs inaugural committee and to the presidentโs White House ballroom renovation effort.
In his post on Truth Social Tuesday, Trump included a line that Armstrong has uttered verbatim in interviews about the stablecoin yield fight: โAmericans should earn more money on their money.โ Separately, on Tuesday night, Trump also posted a picture of an X post from Armstrong praising him for delivering โon his campaign promise to make America the crypto capital of the world.โ
The crypto โIndustry cannot be taken from the People of America when it is so close to becoming truly successful,โ Trump wrote in the initial post.

Are heroes born or made? Role models and training can prepare ordinary people to take heroic action
Heroes take a personal risk for the common good. Some people may just be born with the personality traits of a hero โ but anyone can get ready to act heroically.
Three Americans who stopped a gunman on a train. A journalist who died reporting from Russian detention. A 9/11 rescuer known as the โman in the red bandana.โ
What makes people step up in moments like these? A psychologist says heroism is part personality and part training.

The Liberal Conscience Must Be Fostered With Accurate History
A knowledge of the injustices of the past and the reasons for their occurrence is vital to the development of a liberal conscience.
"Such remarkable stories(. . .) are fading away from record due to both a lack of interest and funding. In recent years, the public has grown impatient with stories of oppression. The Trump administration in particular has sought to cut funding for โwokeโ initiatives to remember these histories."

Today was an important day for the opposition movement. The law firms that stood up against Donald Trump threats won.
Those that capitulated and collaborated with Trump will need to explain to their families, clients and future generations why when democracy was at stake they were such cowards.
