  • Coinbase CEO says UK stablecoin limits could hurt innovation and push crypto business overseas.
  • Stablecoins are becoming a major revenue source for Coinbase, especially under new U.S. rules.

Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, has criticized the proposed limit on stablecoins by the Bank of England. He warns that the rules could damage the United Kingdom’s position as a global financial hub. On the social media platform, he said Armstrong said that the proposed rules are an “innovation blocker” that could push crypto activity to other countries.

What is the UK proposing

Last year, the Bank of England suggested capping individual stablecoin holdings at $26,350 and business holdings at $12.7 million, requiring 40% of stablecoin reserves to be held in non-interest-bearing central bank accounts. Some UK lawmakers argue that these restrictions would reduce innovation, limit adoption, and push the crypto business and liquidity to other countries. Armstrong supported a petition from the crypto advocacy group Stand With Crypto UK.

Stablecoin has become an important part of Coinbase’s business. In 2025, Coinbase earned $1.35 billion in stablecoin revenue, and $364 million came from the fourth quarter alone. Most of this revenue comes from its partnership with Circle. 

In the U.S., the new legislation called Genesis created the federal framework for the stablecoin. Bloomberg analysts estimate Coinbase’s stablecoin revenue could grow two to seven times larger under the new rules. Another bill, the Clarity Act, proposed restrictions on stablecoin yields. Armstrong withdrew support for the Clarity Act last month. 

The debate over the stablecoin reflects whether regulators should focus on strict limits to control risks or allow it while managing risk carefully. Experts say that stablecoins are no longer just crypto; instead, they are becoming part of the global financial infrastructure.

U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam

The post U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crime 18 September 2025 | 04:05 A Colorado judge has brought closure to one of the state’s most unusual cryptocurrency scandals, declaring INDXcoin to be a fraudulent operation and ordering its founders, Denver pastor Eli Regalado and his wife Kaitlyn, to repay $3.34 million. The ruling, issued by District Court Judge Heidi L. Kutcher, came nearly two years after the couple persuaded hundreds of people to invest in their token, promising safety and abundance through a Christian-branded platform called the Kingdom Wealth Exchange. The scheme ran between June 2022 and April 2023 and drew in more than 300 participants, many of them members of local church networks. Marketing materials portrayed INDXcoin as a low-risk gateway to prosperity, yet the project unraveled almost immediately. The exchange itself collapsed within 24 hours of launch, wiping out investors’ money. Despite this failure—and despite an auditor’s damning review that gave the system a “0 out of 10” for security—the Regalados kept presenting it as a solid opportunity. Colorado regulators argued that the couple’s faith-based appeal was central to the fraud. Securities Commissioner Tung Chan said the Regalados “dressed an old scam in new technology” and used their standing within the Christian community to convince people who had little knowledge of crypto. For him, the case illustrates how modern digital assets can be exploited to replicate classic Ponzi-style tactics under a different name. Court filings revealed where much of the money ended up: luxury goods, vacations, jewelry, a Range Rover, high-end clothing, and even dental procedures. In a video that drew worldwide attention earlier this year, Eli Regalado admitted the funds had been spent, explaining that a portion went to taxes while the remainder was used for a home renovation he claimed was divinely inspired. The judgment not only confirms that INDXcoin qualifies as a…
