Coinbase CEO Surprises Market With Unexpected Praise for Solana

Published at 2025-12-19 14:45:53

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong surprised many in the crypto community on Dec. 19, 2025, when he posted a short message on X saying, "I like @Solana." The remark was notable both for its brevity and for coming from the head of one of the largest U.S. crypto exchanges; it prompted rapid reactions across social channels and among traders following SOL.

While a single tweet is not an official endorsement or business move, Armstrong's comment could influence market sentiment and media attention around Solana's network and developer activity. Traders and observers will likely watch SOL trading volumes, Coinbase order flow, and any follow-up comments from Armstrong or Coinbase for signs of broader interest or potential partnerships. For now, the message mainly serves as a signal of positive sentiment from a high-profile industry figure.
