Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said Bitcoin is very likely to reach between $300,000 and $400,000 by 2030.
Speaking on Fox Business on Thursday, Armstrong also said the U.S. is moving in the right direction on crypto legislation after a meeting at the White House.
Armstrong lays out his Bitcoin target
Armstrong said, 「I think over the next couple of years — if I say 2030 — I think it’s very likely we’ll see $300,000 and $400,000 Bitcoin and we’ll see how it goes.」
According to the report, Bitcoin jumped after the news and was recently up 10% over the past day after moving above $72,000 per coin.
White House meeting puts focus on the Clarity Act
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump hosted crypto executives and traditional finance leaders at the White House and urged lawmakers to move forward with the Clarity Act.
Armstrong said, 「Just yesterday, we had this meeting with the president and the top regulators at the SEC and CFTC and that was the big topic of conversation — there was a big sense of urgency from this administration: let’s get Clarity done, let’s get it over the line.」
A number of lawmakers had hoped to vote on the Clarity Act in August, but after a delay, the vote is now set for September.
The long-awaited bill would establish a framework to distinguish digital assets that are securities, commodities, or payment stablecoins, an area the crypto industry has pushed to clarify for years.
Trump on Wednesday called on lawmakers to get the bill across the line, describing it as 「a very, very powerful piece of legislation.」
Stablecoin yield remains a sticking point
The Clarity Act has been deadlocked through much of 2026 as the banking lobby clashed with crypto executives over stablecoin yield.
Some banks warned they could lose their deposit base if crypto companies paid clients overly generous rewards on the stablecoins they hold.
Armstrong downplayed those concerns and said several banks have publicly backed the legislation.
He said, 「There’s actually a number of banks who’ve come out and endorsed the Clarity Act. Most banks recognize that it gives them new powers that allow them to grow their business with this new technology, which is great.」
He added, 「There’s still a few holdout banks, I would say, that are against it.」
