Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong sees the recent U.S. election as a victory for the cryptocurrency sector. With 257 pro-crypto candidates elected to the House of Representatives, Armstrong believes the incoming Congress will be the most supportive of crypto-related policies. Both sides of the aisle showed interest in crypto, which could lead to bipartisan support for crypto legislation moving forward.
To solidify these gains, Armstrong mentions Fairshake, a pro-crypto fund partly funded by Coinbase, which has secured $78 million for the 2026 election cycle. He also revealed that Coinbase does not charge projects a premium fee for listings, and that the exchange supports fair access to its platform for emerging projects.
