Coinbase CEO: Individuals are not Meme traders, and Coinbase will adhere to the principle of "free market capitalism"

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong commented on the meme craze on the X platform. He said that although he is not a meme trader himself, he believes that meme has become a phenomenon that cannot be ignored in the cryptocurrency space. From the early days of Dogecoin to the various types of meme coins today, these tokens may seem "toys" at first, but may evolve into more powerful tools over time. Regarding Coinbase's listing criteria, Brian Armstrong said that from a first principle, we believe in free market capitalism. If our customers want it, and it's legal, our goal is to let them make their own choices. But our job is to provide them with the best information we can find so they can make an informed choice. If the token is a scam or fraud, we remove it. But if it's just low quality, customers should be able to see reviews or community notes and make their own choices. We want to provide useful information to consumers, not play the role of judge and jury, or endorse/recommend investments.
