Coinbase urges inclusion of digital assets in eligible investments for U.S. "Trump Accounts"

Coinbase said it has backed the U.S. "Trump Accounts" plan from an early stage and is now pushing for digital assets to be included in the program’s eligible investment universe. Emilie Choi, the company’s president and chief operating officer, said Coinbase was among the first supporters of the initiative. Separately, Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad said the company had submitted comments to the Internal Revenue Service on how the accounts should be implemented and expanded. In those comments, Coinbase recommended allowing beneficiaries to invest in widely traded digital assets directly or gain exposure through funds. The company also said the scope of eligible assets should align with the broad asset classes available in traditional Individual Retirement Accounts, or IRAs. Coinbase argued that broader, product-neutral rules would expand investor choice, support competition, and give young Americans more ways to diversify investments and build wealth.

Coinbase backs broader digital-asset access under proposed “Trump Accounts” plan

Coinbase said it was among the earliest supporters of the proposed “Trump Accounts” plan, with President and Chief Operating Officer Emilie Choi publicly backing the initiative. The company’s chief policy officer, Faryar Shirzad, said Coinbase has submitted comments to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service on how the account should be implemented and expanded. In those comments, Coinbase urged regulators to let beneficiaries invest in broadly traded digital assets directly or gain exposure through funds, arguing that the eligible investment universe should match the major asset classes already permitted in traditional Individual Retirement Accounts, or IRAs. Coinbase said a broader, product-neutral framework would expand investor choice, support competition, and give younger Americans more ways to diversify investments and build wealth. Under an earlier IRS proposal, qualified growth-stage investments were largely limited to mutual funds or exchange-traded funds that track broad U.S. equity indexes, use no leverage, and charge annual fees of no more than 0.1%.
