Trump's Meme Coin and Coinbase's Neutral Stance

[DearMary]

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

Additionally, after Trump launched his own Meme Coin, she stated that Coinbase would remain neutral when considering new listings. What do you think?

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.
