Brian Armstrong confirms cbBTC is backed by Coinbase itself, addressing rising
community skepticism over the product s transparency.

Coinbase founder and CEO Brian Armstrong has denied speculations that the
company has sold paper Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin to BlackRock without maintaining a 1:1 backing.

The allegations have caused debate in the crypto community, with some accusing
Coinbase of lacking transparency in its Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin reserves.

Brian Armstrong Dispels the Rumors

In a statement on X addressing crypto analyst Tyler Durden, Armstrong
explained that the minting and burning of Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin for BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin
ETF are conducted transparently and on-chain. Durden had shared data from
Cryptoquant showing that Coinbase was the biggest buyer and seller at both
market highs and lows.

Additionally, he implied that the exchange was letting BlackRock borrow BTC
without providing collateral. And with BlackRock having one of the largest
Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin holdings in the world, the analyst suggested that the two firms could
potentially be profiting off the cryptocurrency• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта by controlling its dips and
rises.

However, the Coinbase CEO has refuted the allegations. He referred to Durden’s
concerns as “the normfor institutional clients, emphasizing that Deloitte
audits Coinbase annually, with the results publicly available for
verification.

He also pointed out that the company cannot share its institutional clients’
wallet addresses, citing privacy concerns. “I doubt our institutional clients
want people dusting all their addresses, and it’s not our place to share for
them,” he stated.

Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas also weighed in on the controversy, denying
the latest claims. He wrote on X:

I get why these theories exist and people want to scapegoat the ETFs.
Because it is too unthinkable that the native HODLers could be the sellers.
But they are.

He also added that ETFs such as that offered by BlackRock have helped
stabilize bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin’s price during periods of market volatility.

cbBTC Controversy

Armstrong was also forced to address issues concerning his company’s wrapped
Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin product, cbBTC. He admitted that cbBTC is backed by a centralized
custodian, which in this case is Coinbase itself.

However, Durden responded to Armstrong’s assertion with an apparent quote from
BTC’s anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto that read, “Don’t trust, verify.”

Another community member voiced similar concerns, saying: “They will not
provide any proof of reserves for the BTC they claim they have, nor any proof
of backing for their new paper BTC called cbBTC.”

Earlier, Tron (TRX) founder Justin Sun had lambasted Coinbase’s new offering,
claiming it had no Proof of Reserve, lacked audits, and could allegedly freeze
user funds.

The launch of cbBTC has put Coinbase in direct competition with BitGo’s
Wrapped Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin (WBTC), soon to be managed by Justin Sun’s firm. As such, some
observers have speculated that the recent accusations could be tied to a
broader battle for market share between these two key players in the
derivatives space.
