Coinbase CEO: Bitcoin Bottom In, CLARITY Act Vote Sept. 15
COIN sits 24% above its 52-week low of $139.11 on light trading volume (0.4× avg).
Summary
CEO Brian Armstrong said Bitcoin's cycle bottom is in and expects a multi-year uptrend into the next halving. He also said the CLARITY Act is near passage with a Senate vote on Sept. 15, which he called a 'big milestone' that could unlock institutional capital and tokenized equities in the U.S. Armstrong highlighted strong growth in stablecoin payments on Base (up 700% YoY) and prediction markets (up 100% QoQ), and projected the stablecoin market to grow from $300B to $3T by 2030. This follows Coinbase's Q2 loss and recent regulatory wins in the UK and EU. The Sept. 15 vote is the next concrete catalyst.
