In a separate development, Kevin Durant, the NBA star, regained access to a Coinbase account that had been inactive for nearly a decade. The account, opened in late 2016, contained Bitcoin purchased at that time. With the recovery, Durant now has control over assets valued significantly higher than his original investment. The Bitcoin purchased in late 2016 at around $650 per coin is now worth near $117,000 per coin, representing substantial gains [2].
Addressing the account recovery, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong confirmed the successful restoration of Durant's access to his Bitcoin holdings at CNBC's Game Plan conference. The recovery underscores Coinbase's ability to handle long-dormant accounts and the potential value that can accrue to early cryptocurrency purchasers.
Looking ahead, Armstrong envisions Coinbase as a potential replacement for traditional banking services for crypto users. He acknowledges the competitive landscape in the crypto exchange space but remains optimistic about Coinbase's long-term prospects. The company continues to push for regulatory clarity, with The Clarity Act being a key piece of legislation that Armstrong is supporting.
