Someone said: “I never thought about this, but imagine a future in which $USDT just becomes the official American digital currency. after all, they’ll eventually want a digital currency… and why not use the infrastructure that is already there?”
Another follower posted this: “I so badly don’t want to support anything you stand for coin base…..your entire management team cashed out on the IPO (sold at the top) -which I think speaks volumes about your team $- now you’re asking the very people you cashed out on – to support your exchange?”
Coinbase CEO made massive moves
Coinbase was recently in the spotlight when it’s been revealed that Coinbase insiders and investors sold $5 billion in shares in total during the exchange’s first day of trading on NASDAQ earlier this week, says a series of filings that have been made the other day with the US SEC.
Coindesk reveals that “CEO Brian Armstrong sold 749,999 shares in three batches at prices ranging from $381 to $410.40 per for total proceeds of $291.8 million, according to one filing.”
