Going Public Has Worked Out Great For Coinbase, Claims Brian Armstrong

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong believes that going public has been immensely beneficial for the crypto company, even though its price isn’t standing strong at the moment. Coinbase is now among the first fortune 500 companies, which has made them legitimate enough. He added that “the going public has put us on the main stage, where we’re able to get deals done with BlackRock and companies like Meta.”

He also believes that it has led to the ability to raise funds quickly at attractive rates. The key downsides of going public are the public scrutiny, investigations, and media coverage, according to the CEO. He believes that building Coinbase’s list of products, customer protection with KYC and AML policies, engaging with politicians and regulators, and supporting the industry, matter the most.
