【BitPush】The policy stance in the cryptocurrency industry is diverging. Following a major exchange publicly opposing it, several key players including top venture capital firm a16z, stablecoin protocol Circle, exchange Kraken, industry association Digital Chamber, payment company Ripple, and think tank Coin Center collectively voiced support tonight for the Market Structure Act introduced by Senate Republicans (BankingGOP). This move reflects a significant expectation within the crypto industry for this regulatory proposal — although not everyone can reach a consensus. From venture capital to exchanges to technology providers, participants across different sectors are taking action simultaneously, indicating that this bill touches on core industry concerns. Of course, Coinbase’s opposition stance is also noteworthy, reminding us that there are genuine disagreements within the crypto community regarding regulatory policies.

That bill in the Senate, everyone has their own opinion, typical of conflicting interests.

Coinbase really underperformed this time; I knew it would choose the safest route.

Coinbase's attitude is really annoying, insisting on making exceptions, huh?

Coinbase this time really underperformed; other big players have already taken sides, and it's still pretending to be dead.

lmao coinbase really said "nah we're out" while everyone else is circling the wagons... classic timing, like watching someone panic sell at the bottom. a16z backing it is chef's kiss though—that's the kinda institutional pressure that usually moves needles. kraken and ripple too? this gonna be interesting to watch unfold ngl

Coinbase is really amazing, going against the trend alone and insisting on doing something special

coinbase's move is basically governance theater... watch how fast these alignment tactics crumble when the real pressure hits. a16z backing this? lol, they're just hedging their protocol bets again.
