Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that Bitcoin ($BTC) could exhibit a strong upward trend in the coming years, adding that reaching the $300,000 to $400,000 mark by 2030 is "quite likely."
During an appearance on the "Varney & Co." program on Fox Business Network, Armstrong shared his long-term predictions regarding Bitcoin's price and also drew attention to recent changes in cryptocurrency regulation in the United States.
Armstrong stated: "Looking ahead, say to 2030, I think it's quite likely we'll see Bitcoin at levels of $300,000 and $400,000. We'll see how the situation develops after that."
Bitcoin surged sharply, rising above $72,000, in the period following Armstrong's remarks. The $BTC increase over the last 24 hours approached 10%, and market activity accelerated after crypto-friendly statements from Washington.
Armstrong: A Deep Sense of Urgency Felt in the Trump Administration.
The Coinbase CEO stated that he also attended a meeting held by US President Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday with high-ranking representatives from the cryptocurrency and traditional financial sectors.
According to Armstrong, one of the most important agenda items of the meeting was the long-discussed CLARITY Act.
On this matter, Armstrong stated the following:
"Literally yesterday, the chair held a meeting with leading representatives from regulatory bodies at the SEC and CFTC. This was the main topic of discussion. There was a keen sense of urgency in this administration: to complete and pass the CLARITY law."
Following the meeting, Trump also urged Congress to advance the CLARITY Act bill, calling it a "very, very powerful" law.
The bill, which was previously expected to be voted on in August, is now, after a delay, reportedly scheduled for a vote in September.
The long-awaited CLARITY law aims to create a comprehensive regulatory framework in the United States that defines under what conditions digital assets are classified as securities, commodities, or stablecoins used for payment purposes.
Within the cryptocurrency sector, it has been argued for many years that the legal status of digital assets in the US needs clearer definition. If the bill is passed, the jurisdiction of regulators like the SEC and CFTC over the cryptocurrency market is also expected to become clearer.
However, the passage of the CLARITY Act has struggled to progress for much of 2026 due to ongoing disputes between the banking sector and crypto companies regarding stablecoin yields.
Some banks warn that crypto companies offering high yields to stablecoin holders could lead to a flow of deposits away from traditional banks to crypto platforms.
However, Armstrong stated that not the entire banking sector opposes the bill.
The Coinbase CEO stated: "In fact, many banks have expressed support for the CLARITY Act. Most banks recognize that it provides them with new powers and allows them to grow their business thanks to this new technology. That's great. However, I can say there are still a few banks that oppose it."
