Trump's Meme Coin and Coinbase's Neutral Stance

[dave_strider]

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?

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.

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.

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.
