Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has criticized the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) over its recent coverage and an anticipated story regarding the crypto CLARITY Act, claiming that the publication’s reporting could misrepresent his role and views around the legislation. In a recent post on X, Armstrong suggested that WSJ is working on a story that could present a misleading narrative about his influence on the Senate’s decision to reject the CLARITY Act. Armstrong pointed to what he described as a consistent pattern in the Journal’s coverage, alleging that its reports have largely sided with the traditional banking sector’s opposition to the bill.
