Armstrong Sees Bitcoin at $300,000-$400,000 by 2030 as Trump Pushes Clarity Act

Summary

  • Brian Armstrong said Bitcoin is “very likely” to reach $300,000 to $400,000 by 2030, after the token jumped 10% in a day and broke above $72,000.
  • The Coinbase CEO tied that optimism to Washington’s policy shift, saying a White House meeting with Trump and SEC and CFTC leaders showed urgency to pass the Clarity Act.
  • Trump on Wednesday urged lawmakers to move the bill forward; after an August delay, a vote is now expected in September.
  • The legislation would classify digital assets as securities, commodities or payment stablecoins, addressing a framework the crypto industry has long sought.
  • That push still faces resistance from some banks worried stablecoin yields could drain deposits, though Armstrong said several lenders now back the measure.
