Title: Trump's Meme Coin and Coinbase's Neutral Stance
Post by: DearMary on January 22, 2025, 07:45:13 AM
I saw that Kara Calvert, Coinbase's U.S. Policy Head, mentioned she is "not concerned at all" about Trump not addressing cryptocurrency in his inaugural speech. Additionally, after Trump launched his own Meme Coin, she stated that Coinbase would remain neutral when considering new listings. What do you think?

I don't understand why many people are making the non-mention of Trump on cryptocurrency in his inaugural address a big issue. Certainly, the many things that will transpired in the next four years could not be compressed within the address...and remember that we already know the things that Trump promised so we better stick to them and wait for their fulfillment. The Trump presidency will be known as the most crypto-friendly ever and there will be actions on regulations that can make cryptocurrency really bloom in USA. Plus Trump already got people working in his administration that are known to be supporters of the crypto industry including the new SEC Chairman.

I do hope we will see more in the future from Trump, more actions than words and the promises made before the fact of getting into the office.
As of now, we see big meme and lots of shuffles in the house, and we shall see the results of it all in the upcoming months.

The inauguration speech is usually about issues that concern the American voter in domestic affairs, so we did not hear any comment about China/Russia/Iran and other important issues that were not mentioned, but if Trump does not make any decision regarding cryptocurrencies in the first 100 days, then we should be worried.

I think good ideas from Coinbase decision not listing yet with Trump meme coins after many top exchange market are easily for listing that coins, recently Binance, MEXC and Kucoin already for listing TRUMP coins and most of them just take care about fees listing only without looking opportunity its good coins or not for the future.
Right now many top exchange market not selective when listing new coins, not matter shit coin or not depend on listing fees pay by the project always have chance get listing at top market.

There's not much to think about here. If they are adopting a neutral stance or what I prefer to call a wait and see approach about the official Trump or Melania token, then it is within their own right. It's their own platforms after all. Again, they are a business that will only think about sustainable profits from their token listings.

Coinbase statement would not be that bullish for market and they did not made it makes it smalls but trump launched its own token made billions and the night before did all this but on the inauguration data not a single words about crypto made people sad.

The market did not pumped due to this act by Trump if he would have made one statement about crypto it would have pumped more than it is now.

a crypto supporter but not a little discussing crypto is very out of control, it can raise questions whether DT is serious about supporting crypto or not,
but it's also good that DT doesn't discuss crypto in his speech where one support doesn't have to be published enough with action,
the problem of trump coins and coinbase I think coinbase is playing it safe not wanting to follow the trend and here that proves coinbase doesn't just list meme coins even though it's a president's coin, I don't know for sure the exact reason for coinbase this is just my opinion

i hope that you can include a source for when you saw this news so not only we can fact check this but we can also discuss anything that you might not have mentioned that  is indicted in the article anyway if this is true she is right and i share the same sentiment

trump has appointed personnel that are interested in crypto and making a crypto-friendly country so his lack of acknowledgment in his speech does not concern me however it did show that crypto probably wasn't on top of his list

i would hope so because even if it is trump who launched it they need to stick with their standards and if a coin does not meet that then no need to list it just because it is by a well known person

But I still remember in 2019 in one of the interview Trump said he is not a fan of these crypto and illegal stuff but seeing the meme pump always great to make profit but somehow it's also hurting the front line utility token but coinbase decision of not listed is also point to be discussed and on the other hand binance is listing it as seed tag where are we going is that rivealry

Trump is a wild card, and he would use every opportunity to put himself and the USA in the spotlight of things, be it memes, crypto, or anything else.

The public admission of creating a meme coins, stating that the Mcap is still low (implying that he expects more increase), and issuing a formal pardon to Ross in less than three days in office is a bold move signalling that he is serious about crypto. There are many important challenges his administration needs to address right now, and crypto is at least one of them.

The time for that time will sure, but the little positive decisions he has taken concerning crypto should already tell us what to expect.

If she shared her opinion on this then that means she is really concerned about that, if she is not then she is very concerned, in other words because if not then why she talked about it although I did not double check if you are really saying true.

I was expecting him to talk about crypto and then expecting a huge boom in crypto too there was just too much speculation on the internet for 20th Jan that this day market will boom and as usual it did not happen and this is how the market moves it makes unpredictable moves, and the people made this event a big one Although crypto is not only move around people in the USA, it can be influenced by many other personalities if people just give some respect to them too hehe.

Just goes to show that people can switch stances easily depending on whether they can get profits from crypto or not. He's not the first and the last person to do stuff like that IMO. I bet if crypto goes even more mainstream more notorious opponents would switch stance after they collected enough sats on their wallets. As for exchanges not listing meme tokens, it's understandable considering a token like the Trump one is quite new. I doubt they wanted to get another slap in the face because they listed controversial tokens for short-term profits if they're based in the same country where the token launches. They need more insider info to be sure about listing meme tokens like that.

People who wanted Trump to mention cryptocurrency on his inaugural speech are people who wanted to make more gains by exploding the hype to the highest level as possible but maybe since crypto is not mentioned it is clear that we are moving forward in a more decent approach to the crypto supercycle and I am sure that this will happen in the coming days, weeks, months or even years within Trumps admin and maybe we are seeing every cycle different from this one.

At least Trump did sign some documents for the future digital stockpiles, so there is that.
Hopefully, it's only the beginning.

That's the right stance, and it just showed that they have core values and parameters when picking new coins to list; they are impartial, and this is a good stance. I'm sure they fully support Trump's stance on cryptocurrency because they are one of its major players.
There will always be players in the industry that will be on a neutral stance, and Coinbase is one of them.

Exactly my thoughts too cause I find it difficult to understand why they want everything to happen so fast if not for personal and selfish gains. We have him for 4 years and from being an anti-; Bitcoin to buying $43m of WBTC which is to me is the most important step topic Bitcoin freedom.

Klown used his inauguration to pump his meme coin, why bother pumping something else?
He personally got the most benefit profit out of it, I can't understand why many people are delighted with it.

Trump himself only posted it on X, while the use case of his memecoin is very minimal, so we can't make it something worth raising... moreover, the current memecoin trend is, many assume that it will only last for a short time... no one can make it last long..

Coinbase's attitude, that's normal... they don't get too carried away by FOMO... even a significant increase is of course the goal of memecoin... I don't hate Trump, but I don't agree with the release of two memecoins related to his family.

The Trump coin has nothing to do with the government so why people expect him to address about his coin in his inaugural speech? Opposition will try to destroy the image of him if he did that so he played smart while promoting the project in his own way. But this coin will differ from every other meme coin from the marketplace?

He really made a lot of profit from this event and played it in his own favor and that's why there is a anger in the crypto community and even I heard there would be a case on this couple of memecoins. I was expecting some words from this dude on 20th but he did not say a word about crypto.

He made a meme coin and made billions but didn't mind it three days later, he also public an executive order for crypto in which he favored crypto from every angle he completed some of his big promises, too

It doesn't matter if Trump didn't mention his altcoin in his inaugural speech, in my opinion it was recommended by Elon Musk, in my opinion it will have global success in a short time

You said this well. Probably, he just left the whole thing to Elon Mask, who already has enough experience in pumping and manipulating some altcoins. Everything was very well planned and organized.
I'm somehow convinced that we're in for an even bigger boom with the official Elon Musk meme coin.

Elon Musk creating a meme would have significant negative effects on Doge coin and his investment there; he's backing a legitimate project, which I believe is sufficient. Tesla and X are working on integrating Doge payment into their platforms, so I can't imagine Elon hyping $Trump or creating memecoin when the Doge community has a lot of expectations from him.

Elon is just too influential to own a memecoin. Lol

Yeah, what I'm afraid of is after Trump exits the office the public will view crypto as a pump & dump instead of a good tech to use. It's hard to correct first impressions even though most of them are wrong. Discussion is hard to happen if people don't have open minds and strongly believe their opinions represent facts. I'm tired of explaining the same thing yet people assume I said another thing. Well, hopefully Trump and his team won't go too far with their selfish goals and hopefully people learn more about Bitcoin and crypto in the future.

Hmmm. Who will own a centralized exchange and think such. Probably political differences. I'm not sure what's behind the scene but if am a big guy that operate a centralized exchange in the United States, I will play by the rules of whoever is in power as long as their policy doesn't affect my business and my customers, if Trump made it public he has interest in crypto, she need to support it.

However, all this could be outside thing and doesn't want to show it to the people that she is interested in working with Donald Trump and doesn't want people to put eyes on their interest. Most of these centralized exchanges want more than what the public want.
