Coinbase suspends Coinbase Lend launch
Amid the increased listing, Coinbase has announced it won’t launch its eagerly awaited interest-earning product.
The decision comes after the exchange’s CEO Brian Armstrong questioned SEC’s commitment towards providing guidance on the product.
The product dubbed Coinbase Lend was meant to enable users to earn a 4% annual yield on the stablecoin USDC. The already in existence waitlist for the product has also been discontinued.
