While Lummis is doing EVERYTHING to pass the CLARITY Act, Brian Armstrong has killed it TWICE.

Here's the full timeline
Jul 17, 2025 — House passes CLARITY Act 294–134. Bipartisan. Historic. The ball moves to the Senate.
Jul 22, 2025 — Lummis and Sen. Scott drop the Senate discussion draft. Lummis chairs the crypto subcommittee, retiring after this term goes all in. She wants this as her legacy.
Sep–Dec 2025 — Lummis keeps grinding. 182-page Senate draft. Agriculture Committee joins. She pushes back on DeFi FUD, defends developer protections, negotiates bipartisan changes. She's doing the actual work.
Jan 14, 2026 — Rejection #1 - The night BEFORE the Senate markup, Armstrong posts on X. Coinbase can't support the bill. Senate cancels the markup. The whole thing collapses. One CEO. One post. Killed it.
Jan–Mar 2026 — Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks draft a compromise. White House holds closed-door sessions. Multiple rounds of talks. Armstrong says he's "engaged." Spoiler: he wasn't.
Mar 25, 2026 — Rejection #2 — Coinbase tells Senate offices it has "significant concerns" with the new draft. Second formal rejection. Bill stalls again. No markup date scheduled.
Mar 31, 2026 — Right now — Lummis confirms bill text is dropping soon. Still fighting. Still grinding. One senator vs. one billionaire CEO.

Let's talk about WHY Armstrong keeps blocking it.

Coinbase made $1.35 BILLION in stablecoin revenue in 2025. Nearly 20% of total company revenue. The CLARITY Act restricts stablecoin yield. Analysts estimate it could cost Coinbase $800 million a year.
This isn't about protecting the industry. It's about protecting one revenue line.
Trump supports it. The White House supports it. a16z supports it. Ripple supports it. Patrick Witt, Trump's own crypto czar publicly called Armstrong out for using "no bill is better than a bad bill" as cover.

The ENTIRE coalition wants this done. One CEO keeps walking away.

Lummis is retiring. This is her last shot. She's spent years on this. The House did its job. The Senate keeps trying. And every time they get close, Armstrong torches it.

At some point you have to ask: is Brian Armstrong pro-crypto, or just pro-Coinbase?

🚨BREAKING: Coinbase Was FUNDED By EPSTEIN HIMSELF — Then in 2019 REQUIRED MILLIONS From Ripple to List XRP 🤯🔥

Newly resurfaced emails appear to show Brock Pierce forwarding @Coinbase Series C funding details DIRECTLY to Jeffrey Epstein — including potential ACCESS to the round. 😳

Back then, @Coinbase raised a $60 MILLION Series C round backed by major firms like @a16z, @USV, and @RibbitCapital — then SENT to Epstein HIMSELF. 😵

The email also suggests Epstein was being offered a DIRECT CONNECTION to @Coinbase co-founder @FEhrsam who was LEADING the raise at the time. 👀

NOW CONNECT THE DOTS. 👇

Then before 2019, as indicated by @Ripple ex-CTO & Board Member @JoelKatz, @Coinbase DEMANDED MILLIONS to list $XRP. 🤯

Then in 2021 DELISTED $XRP during the @SECGov lawsuit led by AGAIN Epstein-related Gary Gensler... 🤐

Coincidences? Probably not. 👀

MASSIVE:

🇺🇸 Dear Coinbase shareholders.

Your CEO just killed the bill that would have unlocked trillions for crypto. Twice. In one month.

The stock that could have 10x'd with regulatory clarity. Held back by a 34% yield commission fee.

Brian Armstrong protected his revenue.
At the expense of your portfolio.

How does that feel?

[Clinton Donnelly @CryptoTaxFixer]

🚨I continue to be dismayed and outraged by the IRS’s use of Letters 6173 and 6174 against crypto holders who owned digital assets in prior years. These letters feel like a harassment tactic, and here’s why.

These letters are being sent to crypto holders stating:

“We know you owned cryptocurrency between 2016 and 2020.”

“We are concerned that you may not have reported your income correctly.”

“Please sign and return a sworn statement confirming your tax returns were accurate.”

This sworn statement (Jurat Statement) acts as an affidavit, meaning, if you sign it and later the IRS finds discrepancies, you could face serious legal exposure.

The IRS generally has three years to audit a tax return, called the Statute of Limitations. In 2026, that means they can only go back to 2023, not 2016 to 2020 like these letters claim.

Exceptions to the 3-Year Rule:

• If you underreported income by 25% or more, the IRS gets six years, but that still only goes back to 2020.

• If the IRS proves fraud, there’s no time limit, which is likely why they want you to sign this affidavit.

By signing, you’re giving the IRS a weapon against you, potentially opening yourself up to fraud accusations and unlimited audits.

There is No Legal Obligation to Sign.

They’re Overreaching!

Let me be clear:

• You do not have to sign and return these documents.
• The IRS missed their window to audit many of these years.
• This is an intimidation tactic rather than legitimate tax enforcement.

If you receive one of these letters, schedule a consultation with us at https://t.co/wGbwYAnFpm

[Wealthy Anon @wealthyanon]

Let me tell you what's actually happening with crypto regulation in America right now because the media won't say it plainly.

Sen. Cynthia Lummis co-authored the CLARITY Act. A real bill. With real teeth. It draws a clear line between what's a commodity and what's a security. It splits jurisdiction cleanly between the SEC and CFTC so crypto projects actually know which rules apply to them. It protects retail investors. It gives builders legal certainty so they stop fleeing to Dubai and Singapore.
She did this because it's the right thing to do. Full stop.

Now let's talk about Brian Armstrong.
Brian Armstrong is the CEO of Coinbase the largest centralized crypto exchange in the United States. He tweets about decentralization. He talks about financial freedom. He posts about how much he cares about crypto's future.
And then his company's lobbyists go to Washington and work overtime to make sure the CLARITY Act never passes in a form that actually means anything.

Why?

Because regulatory clarity is Coinbase's worst nightmare.
Think about it. Right now, nobody knows exactly which crypto assets are securities, which are commodities, and who regulates what. That chaos sounds bad and for regular users, it is. But for Coinbase? It's a goldmine. When the rules are undefined, only the biggest players with the most lawyers and the deepest pockets can navigate the system. Startups can't. New exchanges can't. Competitors can't.
Ambiguity IS Coinbase's moat.

The moment the CLARITY Act passes real version, not a watered-down lobby-written version the playing field levels. Clear rules mean new entrants can compete. Clear rules mean DeFi protocols know what they're building toward. Clear rules mean Coinbase loses the invisible advantage it's been quietly hoarding for years.

So Armstrong does what every powerful incumbent does when legislation threatens their position: he dresses up self-interest as principle.

He'll tell you the bill isn't ready. He'll say the definitions aren't right. He'll find some technical objection that sounds reasonable on the surface. But look at who benefits from the bill NOT passing. Look at who benefits from another two years of regulatory limbo. Look at who's still standing when smaller competitors get crushed under legal uncertainty.
It's Coinbase. Every time.

Cynthia Lummis doesn't have a financial stake in this outcome. She's a senator from Wyoming who has consistently put crypto users actual people, actual retail investors ahead of the industry's biggest gatekeepers. She caught hell for it. She kept going.

Brian Armstrong has a multi-billion dollar reason to keep the rules exactly as confusing as they are right now.

One of these people is fighting for crypto. The other is fighting for Coinbase.
They are not the same thing.

[Wealthy Anon @wealthyanon]

Brian Armstrong is worth $7.8 billion.

He made most of it from trading fees.

The CLARITY Act would have supercharged on-chain trading his direct competition.

So he killed it.

Then told you it was for your protection.

Let that sink in.

The man who spent years screaming that government shouldn't pick winners in crypto just picked himself as the winner by using his lobbying power to kill the bill that would have unlocked $120 trillion in institutional money.

Gone. Delayed. Because of one post at midnight.

His excuse? Stablecoin yield.

A provision that affects maybe 2% of retail users.

But 100% of Coinbase's revenue model.

Here's the part that should make you furious:

Trump was for it.
The White House was for it.
a16z Armstrong's own investors were for it.
Brad Garlinghouse was for it.
The entire industry was for it.

One man. One post. One midnight. $20 billion wiped from crypto markets by morning.

This isn't 'holding the line on a bad bill.'

This is the most powerful man in American crypto using an entire industry as a shield for his balance sheet.

And half of crypto Twitter is out here defending him.

You know what they call it when a billionaire uses political leverage to protect his monopoly while dressing it up as principle?

They call it regulatory capture. Except this time, crypto did it to itself.

Every day without the CLARITY Act is another day Coinbase keeps its moat.
Every day without it is another day Wall Street's $120T sits on the sideline.
Every day without it is another day your bags don't move.

Brian Armstrong's bags are fine.

Are yours?

[Merlijn The Trader @MerlijnTrader]

INSIGHTS:

🇺🇸 The CLARITY Act passed the House 294-134.

a16z backed it. Ripple backed it. The White House backed it.
The crypto industry spent $149,000,000 to make this happen.

Then Brian Armstrong killed it. The night before the Senate vote.

Why? Stablecoin yield restrictions would cut into Coinbase's $1,350,000,000 annual revenue.

One man. One P&L. One veto.
This isn't leadership. It's greed dressed up as principle.

3 weeks ago I argued the US goal in Iran is to seize the global oil spigot. Venezuela in January -> Iran in February.

Neutralize every supply channel outside the dollar system within 90 days. Achieve a compliant successor government and complete energy dominance.

The oil thesis was the obvious layer. However, when you zoom out & view the last four years as a single sequence rather than isolated geopolitical events, the architecture of the grander US plan becomes visible.

1st was Europe, which laid the groundwork.

The Ukraine conflict provided the justification for sanctions that collapsed Russian pipeline gas from 150 billion cubic meters to 40.

Then Nordstream was destroyed, which rewired the entire European energy system permanently. The US went from supplying 28% of Europe's LNG in 2021 to 58% by 2025, exporting a record 111 million MTs, the 1st country in history to break 100 MT.

Europe was transformed from a customer with options into a captive market now purchasing its survival in USD.

2nd was Syria.

The fall of Assad severed the critical node connecting China's Belt & Road Initiative to the Mediterranean.

The trilateral railway linking Iran, Iraq & Syria, designed to bypass Western maritime chokepoints, was completely destroyed.

This isolated Iran geographically & cleared the path for what came next.

3rd was Venezuela.

In January the US effectively took control of the world's largest heavy crude reserves. The US Gulf Coast has the most advanced refining complex on earth, specifically built for heavy sour crude. Phillips 66, Valero & the rest are now positioned to process hundreds of thousands of barrels of Venezuelan crude daily.

The US captured a massive strategic reserve & solidified its position as the dominant exporter of refined petroleum products, an industry worth $110 billion in 2025 alone.

Venezuela & Iran were the two major oil supply channels that existed outside the dollar system. Both produce heavy crude sold primarily to China & evaded US financial supervision. Both now being neutralized within 90 days, which leads us to..

4th is Iran & the Middle East energy shock.

Israel struck Iran's South Pars gas field, the world's largest natural gas reservoir. Iran retaliated against Qatar's Ras Laffan, the single largest LNG facility on earth, responsible for a fifth of global supply. QatarEnergy's own assessment is that 17% of export capacity is gone and recovery will take up to 5 years. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. European gas prices spiked 70%. Asian spot prices doubled.

The only remaining scaled supplier? The United States.

If Iran falls & a successor government is installed that the US controls or influences (the Delcy model described weeks ago) then roughly 40 to 45 million barrels per day of global production out of 103 million is effectively under US control. OPEC becomes irrelevant because the US coalition is now the marginal producer. Now add the gas dimension & it goes beyond oil.

This war is solidifying the petrodollar system as it evolves into a hybrid petro/LNG-dollar. The old system was built on Saudi crude priced in USD. The new system is built on American crude plus American gas from the Gulf Coast, with no alternative supplier of comparable scale. The dependency is deeper because LNG infrastructure requires long term contracts & regasification terminals that lock buyers into supply relationships for decades. Europe & the Pacific allies (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc.) cannot pivot away as there is nowhere left to pivot to. They're now locked into the US energy system.

The market confirms this. DXY went from 96 to 101. Gold down ~20% from its January all time high. Bitcoin down 20% on the year. Brent above $100. European & Asian institutions are liquidating precious metals and crypto to buy dollars because they need dollars to buy the only remaining scaled energy supply. The world is selling its gold to buy American energy in American currency. The dollar is now being weaponized through energy dependency.

The structural repricing is happening regardless of how the conflict resolves.

But the US grand strategy goes deeper..

Artificial intelligence is a physical industry. It runs on power and chips. Data centers require massive uninterrupted baseload electricity, primarily provided by natural gas. Semiconductor fabrication requires helium & rare earths.

By choking the Strait of Hormuz & crippling Middle Eastern LNG & helium production, the US is systematically degrading China's ability to power its data centers & fabricate semiconductors at scale.

The US is energy self sufficient, especially with newly captured Venezuelan reserves & expanding Gulf Coast capacity running on domestic gas.

On the other hand, China is import dependent & every joule it imports effectively now transits chokepoints the US Navy controls..

Iran was the Belt & Road's overland energy bypass, the corridor that allowed China to mitigate the Malacca Trap. With Iran neutralized that corridor is severed. China faces a world where its compute infrastructure competes for scraps on a depleted global LNG market, while American data centers run at full capacity on domestic energy.

Russia is next in the sequence. A post-war Iran reopening under US influence competes directly with Russia for the same refineries in China & India at lower cost. Iran's production costs are lower. Russia loses its last structural advantage in heavy crude & its economic lifeline. Additionally, under the Iran war cover, Ukraine has been opportunistically destroying Russian energy infrastructure & all signs point towards Russia being at the end of the line. The message from Washington becomes very simple: we dismantled two regimes in three months, your economy is about to get crushed, sign the Ukraine deal.

Then Trump sits down with Xi holding every card. Complete energy dominance. The hybrid petro/LNG-dollar fortified, Iran cleared, Russia cornered, & China facing the Malacca Trap fully closed with no remaining energy bypass.

Israel & the GCC are absorbing the kinetic cost of a conflict whose primary beneficiary, counter to the mainstream narrative, is actually America (First). Qatar offline for 5 years reprices the entire global gas market in favor of US exporters for the remainder of the decade. The Gulf states face years of rebuilding. Europe faces its 2nd energy crisis in four years.

Sure, the average American might face temporary moderate inflation & higher gas prices. But if you are the architect of the US empire & you view the rise of China & Chinese ASI as an existential winner takes all scenario, the collateral damage is acceptable cost.

Whoever controls the energy corridors controls the monetary system. Whoever controls the monetary system & the energy supply simultaneously controls the compute infrastructure that determines which civilization builds ASI first.

The US is seizing all 3.
