Brian Armstrong talks Fairshake, democracy

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong knows lawmakers are nervous about crypto’s campaign finance arsenal.

Or at least, that’s what we told him during an interview this week. Armstrong is one of a handful of crypto executives whose company has helped bankroll the Fairshake super PAC network.

A lot has been written about Fairshake’s influence. But we don’t often get a chance to press someone in Armstrong’s position on the role that this goliath is playing in elections and how that translates to legislation.

“There's a lot of political will to get this done, and that's coming from a variety of things,” Armstrong said.
