Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong publicly backed the SEC’s plan on October 11, 2026, to relax accredited investor criteria in the United States. The SEC proposed on September 30, 2026, adding knowledge-based pathways to existing wealth thresholds (1 million dollars in net worth or 200,000 dollars in annual income), including professional credentials (CPA, CFA, CFP) or a FINRA-administered exam (approximately 75 questions, 100 dollars, valid for 10 years). Coinbase could position itself to facilitate tokenized offerings and pre-IPO investments under a clearer regulatory framework. The public comment period closes on December 4, 2026.
