Brian Armstrong, the chief executive of Coinbase Global Inc. , used a post on X to highlight how digital currencies and tokenized assets can open doors for billions of people. He said these tools give a “level playing field” that helps anyone chase wealth, drawing on psychologist Jordan Peterson’s idea of focusing on equal opportunity rather than equal outcomes.  

Armstrong pointed out that the market for tokenized U. S. treasuries has grown to $10. 1 billion, with BlackRock’s BUILDL fund being a top choice for investors. Stablecoins—digital versions of real money—now hold about $314 billion in market value. These numbers show that the industry is moving toward treating real‑world assets as digital tokens, which could make investing easier and cheaper for many.  

However, the sector still faces obstacles. Coinbase dropped its support for a Senate Banking Committee bill that would forbid on‑chain versions of stocks and other real assets. Armstrong urged lawmakers to create rules that keep the market fair, arguing that traditional banks and finance firms are stifling competition.  

The company is preparing to release its fourth‑quarter 2025 earnings after the market closes on Thursday. Coinbase shares ended Monday’s session up 1. 29 % at $167. 25, but slipped 0. 45 % in after‑hours trading. The stock has fallen 26 % year‑to‑date and is rated low in momentum by Benzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings.
