However, several major industry players hold opposing views to Coinbase. Kraken CEO Arjun Sethi suggested that unresolved issues should be addressed through negotiation rather than abandoning years of bipartisan progress. a16z Managing Partner Chris Dixon, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, and White House AI and Cryptocurrency Special Advisor David Sacks expressed similar opinions, urging all parties to resolve their differences by the end of the month. Ledger's Global Head of Policy Seth Hertlein pointed out that it is hard to imagine a more favorable environment in the future.
