Coinbase Proposes Including Eligible Digital Assets in Trump Accounts’ Investment Scope

Coinbase Proposes Expanding Eligible Digital Assets for Trump Accounts on September 26

Coinbase proposed on September 26 that the United States Trump Accounts program allow beneficiaries to invest in a broader set of widely traded digital assets, either directly or through funds, according to a report from BlockBeats. The company said the eligible investment scope should be aligned with the asset categories available in traditional Individual Retirement Accounts.

A Comment to the Internal Revenue Service
Coinbase chief policy officer Faryar Shirzad said the company had submitted comments to the Internal Revenue Service about the implementation and expansion of Trump Accounts. The proposal asked for a wider and product-neutral approach to eligible assets, rather than a narrower list that could limit how beneficiaries gain exposure to digital assets.

Why Coinbase Backs Broader Rules
The company argued that a broader rule set would expand choices, encourage competition among providers, and give young United States participants more opportunities to diversify their holdings and build wealth. Coinbase framed the proposal as a way to make digital assets fit within the same general asset categories used in traditional retirement accounts.

What Comes Next
The proposal is part of a comment process before the Internal Revenue Service, not a final rule change. For readers, the main significance is that Coinbase is asking the agency to treat digital assets as a mainstream investment option inside Trump Accounts, while leaving the final scope to the agency reviewing the comments.
