Coinbase recommends adding digital assets to Trump accounts investment options
Coinbase has recommended that eligible digital asset products be included in the investment range for Trump Accounts, in a comment letter to the United States Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service on proposed rules. The letter is signed by Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad.
What Coinbase Proposed
The proposal describes Trump Accounts as child-focused and tax-advantaged. Coinbase said the rules should protect minor beneficiaries, manage risk and maintain low costs while preserving enough investment choices. The company argued that such accounts should allow allocation to products that support long-term growth, including eligible digital asset products.
Why It Matters
The proposal would broaden the long-term investment choices available to Trump Accounts, but only for digital asset products that meet defined conditions. The letter does not name specific products. Its impact depends on how the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service define eligibility and safeguards in the rulemaking.
What Comes Next
The next question is how the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service will respond to the recommendation and define eligible products in the proposed rules. The outcome could determine whether Trump Accounts can add digital assets while keeping their protective framework for minor beneficiaries.
