Coinbase U.S. cryptocurrency exchange CEO Brian Armstrong said that since 2012, the company has received almost $ 2 billion from trading commissions.
At the Vanity Fair Summit, Armstrong emphasized that Coinbase has always developed and implemented new technologies, and therefore remained profitable even in the most difficult times for the cryptocurrency industry.
“Most of this profit we invested in business and the creation of new products. I want Coinbase to be a company with continuous innovation, ”said Armstrong.
The Coinbase CEO also noted that he did not expect such a negative reaction from US regulators to the Libra project being developed by Facebook.
“I would really like the United States to become a leader in this field of innovation. In the world, many people do not have access to banking services. I hope that the US will become a pioneer in this area, even if innovations come from companies such as Facebook, ”said Armstrong.
Note that the Coinbase exchange remains a member of the Libra Association and is not going to leave the consortium like Visa, Mastercard and other companies.
At the end of last year, Coinbase held another round of financing, during which the company received $ 300 million. Thus, the total market value of Coinbase exceeded $ 8 billion.
