In a blog post, Coinbase has called on the US government to engage with other countries and international organizations to develop “global standards and best practices for blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies.” The exchange said:
“This will help ensure that the US maintains its influence in shaping the future of these industries, driving innovation, job creation, and economic growth, while ensuring national security and promoting American values in the development of new financial and technological systems.”
