There is no way that Coinbase has a stronger lobbying base than the established financial players. They can get into this game, block it with tighter regs, and dig into their deep base of clients to offer similar products. I don’t see a moat here.

The second largest donor to the Biden campaign was SBF, the CEO of FTX, another crypto exchange. The crypto ecosystem is spending a lot of money on lobbying.

Established financial players like AXA who invested in Blockstream which controls the development of BTC?
